Why are evangelicals concerned about marriage?

To many people in the world they do not understand why evangelicals get so concerned about the definition of marriage. They believe that we are following an ancient tradition and in doing so we are against human rights. I sometimes think that Evangelicals do not get the reason for marriage right. Marriage is a picture of Christ and His church. The church is His bride. That is why marriage is sacred to the Christian. Christians are not against human rights but human rights do not trump the Gospel.
"Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral." Hebrews 13:4. Christians are to honour marriage as we honour the relationship we have with our Saviour.
