marriage, on one hand they say that marriage is an institution for both man and women to exist in

harmoniously for the rest of the couple’s life while they also believe that the union of same- sex

marriage is completely going against God’s grand design for relationships. It is clearly stated

that marriage is honorable and it must consist of one man and one woman and other form is seen
as an abomination in God’s eyes. Rae seeks to make known the various forms of relationships

that exists and what are God’s views on each one of these relationships in the modern society.
