God created the family to provide the maximum love and support and morality and example that one can imagine.
About This Quote
Interpretation
The statement frames the family as a divinely instituted social unit designed to cultivate emotional care (“love and support”) and ethical formation (“morality and example”). In Falwell’s worldview—shaped by conservative evangelical theology and “family values” politics—the family is not merely a private arrangement but a primary moral institution that transmits norms, models behavior, and stabilizes society. The quote also implies a hierarchy of social supports: the family is presented as the optimal setting for human flourishing, against which other institutions (state, schools, churches) are secondary or derivative. As rhetoric, it functions to sacralize traditional family structures and to argue that weakening them threatens both personal virtue and social order.
