This is an interesting thread.
In my opinion, when marriage and family were looked on positively, and people understood we do not live this life in a vacuum but have infinite affect on those around us, young marriages were extremely healthy.
Unfortunately, society has done the typical stray away from God's design, and most people are now too concerned about themselves to worry about their choices having a negative affect on the young people who are following, be it children, nieces/nephews, or whatever.
How many people do you know that you graduated with who don't still have the same juvenile attitudes that they had in school?
People do not "grow up" nowadays, for the most part, and we wonder why the next generation can't "get it together."
Not being responsible, making right choices, loving BY CHOICE with our whole hearts; those are the things that are making marriages not work.
Who's willing to step up to the plate and be a worthy example?
Not many nowadays, I'm afraid. Too much fun to act and live immaturely.
This selfishness is destroying families, churches, and the United States.
What happens in the heart ripples out and touches the whole world.
When we can stop putting our feelings in the number one position, and use the heads God gave us to control those feelings, then we can be the example God wants us to be.
Christ CHOSE to die for us.
I PRAISE HIM HE DID NOT PUT HIS OWN "WANTS" FIRST, BUT WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR ALL MANKIND!
My opinion, anyway
