Recently, while working on our first post about the Family Proclamation, my thoughts turned back to a graphic I envisioned a few years ago, but never got around to creating. I was thinking of creating a bumper sticker shaped graphic with the male gender symbol on one side, the female gender symbol on the other side and something representing marriage between them. It would be a pictograph (also known as a rebus) for “Marriage is Between a Man and a Woman”. I spent some time long ago thinking about what to put in the middle. Then one day months later, it hit me. I would use the word “marriage” itself.

After once again reading the Family Proclamation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and seeing the First Presidency  and the Council of the Twelve proclaiming “marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God”, I decided it was finally time to draw the graphic, sort of a “Marriage Logo”.  I started last night, then finished it and filed for copyright today. The resulting rebus image is below. Please note all rights are reserved for this graphic.

Marriage is Between a Man and a Woman

We think it came out really nice and welcome any comments or suggestions on the artwork. Please no bashing the message. If you are wondering who Polson Enterprises (Copyright 2010 Polson Enterprises) is, it is the umbrella we operate Mormon Wordles under. We hope many beyond our faith find this image stimulating as well.
