As a society, do we know that marriage
is the right way to proceed?
Would we be better off without marriage?
If you believe in marriage you better do something about it
Sad to say society is telling us marriage
is not the way for a society to proceed.
Just days before my son got married I was
sharing about it with a group of people.
One man said, “The
only good thing about marriage
is it is until death
do you part so there is some hope.”
It is too common to hear a husband
make negative
comments like…
“My old lady” or she is a “Ball and Chain”
Or, wives complain their man is being insensitive.
“Men on TV constantly joke about how wives are incredibly expensive,
demanding and
overall vacuums of all things fun. By that same token, the
women complain about their fat, lazy,
insensitive husbands as they swoon
over their trimmed,
manicured and chest-waxed Hollywood counterparts.”
The divorce rate and couples
cohabiting all
are saying marriage no longer is
relevant.
Now if you are one who believes
marriage
is an important part of
society’s structure…
If you believe its value of
love, family, commitment
are necessary for a happy and
peaceful society…
If you believe it is the micro
structure of a
nation, even the world, that
hold things together…
If you believe children are
safer, and grow up with
greater values in a marriage of
one husband and one wife…
If you believe children have
better grades and
are less disruptive in class and
are less likely to
develop behavioral disorders
growing up with
a father and mother committed to
each other…
If you believe the single
biggest indicator of child poverty
is whether both original parents
are still together…
If you believe sex in the
convent of marriage
is better than Hollywood’s
version…
If you believe married couples
are more productive
and care more about the
environment around them…
If you believe marriage is the
core of a healthy society…
Than it is time to speak up.
It is time to be more honest and
vocal about the virtues of
marriage.
America need to stop feeding and
buying
into the lie that we are being
fed.
Marriage when done right makes
life
better and our country is better
off.
Steven Crowder, a Fox News
commentator said…
“If the facts aren’t enough, maybe this’ll help…
Picture coming home every night to your best friend, your greatest
fan, and your number one supporter. She (or he) makes each good day better, and
each bad day good again. Every day, you get to live what is essentially a 24/7
sleepover party with the greatest friend you’ve ever had.
… Now add sex and sandwiches.”
God says…
“Marriage should be honored by all.”
Maybe it is time for all of us
to
give more honor to marriage.
Scripture Reading
Hebrews 13:4 NIV
Marriage should be honored by
all,
and the marriage bed kept pure
