No one is beyond the reach of God's love. Salvation is there for everyone who turns to God, and not just for a chosen few. It is the person’s choice to be saved and one can fall from grace by not following God therefore losing salvation.
Working in partnership with different Christian denominations allows influencing public policy more effectively. Social norms that assume different standards for women than for men in marriage are outdated and should be rejected. Laws in civil society should define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Some personalities are difficult to manage, especially if they are prone to despair. Do not give up on a search of the paths of God, and the sense of joy and assurances you are looking for will be received. The family is encompassing a wider range of options than that of the two-generational unit of parents and children.
