Unification Church views on sexuality
The ''Divine Principle'', the central book of Unification Church teaching, asserts that love is the strongest force in the universe, more powerful than law or principle,〔( ''Exposition of the Divine Principle'' ), HSA-UWC, 1996 (ISBN 0-910621-80-2).〕 and true, unselfish love is Unificationism's highest value. A fundamental teaching of ''Divine Principle'' is that the original sin causing the human fall at the beginning of history was, in fact, selfish and inappropriate sexual relationships that corrupted true love.〔 Sexual union based on true love between husband and wife is spoken about frankly and approvingly in many speeches by Sun Myung Moon.
One author calls marriage "really the only sacrament" in the Unification Church. Unificationists therefore view singleness as "not a state to be sought or cultivated"〔 but merely as preparation for marriage. Pre-marital celibacy and marital faithfulness are emphasized,〔 and adherents may be taught to "abstain from intimate relations for a specified time after marriage." The church does not give its marriage blessing to same-sex couples.〔(Unification Church pres sees smaller mass weddings ), The Monitor (Uganda), 30 December 2008, "Moon said the church does not give its wedding blessing to same sex couples.”〕
Moon has emphasized the similarity between Unification views of sexuality and evangelical Christianity, "reaching out to conservative Christians in this country in the last few years by emphasizing shared goals like support for sexual abstinence outside of marriage, and opposition to homosexuality."
