Who Wants Marriage? 

     Okay. Raise your hands, all you who want to marry ..... Now, all you who don't want to marry .....

     Well. More than half of you (in the UK) don't value marriage. 

     We're a long way from the Garden of Eden, when everybody in the world, both of them, were married. If this trend keeps up, marriage may come to an end, and children will have more freedom to find their own way...such as join a gang etc. A brave new world.

     Civilization...man and woman, promising to love and stay together for the rest of their lives. Yes, some stay single. 

Marriage brings stability to society. New marriages provide stable, loving homes established on commitment. Mother holds the baby, while friends sing and rejoice. Families befriend other families. 

     Our granddaughter is expecting in September. Her parents committed to each other 35 years ago, and their daughter and husband are on the same path...people of faith and commitment. This baby will be loved. 

     My wife and I were rejected by our first spouses. It's not like a ball game. Lose today; win tomorrow. There is hurt. Children left to make poor decisions. 

     America's "greatest generation" married and stayed married, despite the depression and two world wars. Our United States is looking up, but if we're not more united in our families, this won't be another "great" generation.
