“Living in sin,” a phrase that is rarely used now, perhaps because it is no longer considered sinful to live together. If “living” with your partner is a perfectly acceptable practice, the marriage may become obsolete. Wedding dress designers need to be on the lookout!
According to the UK Office for National Statistics, we are seeing the lowest marriage rates since they were first calculated in 1862. So is marriage going to disappear or is there any way to save this age-old institution?
Cohabiting people commonly believe that by living together, they can “test the water” of marriage to see if it works. Living together is fast becoming an intimate extension or even a replacement for dating. The theory is that if living together turns out to be a bad idea, a couple can simply break up and avoid a bad marriage.
The UK’s National Institute of Marriage strongly criticizes this theory, saying: “The longer you live together with a partner, the more likely it is that the ethic of low-commitment cohabitation will take hold, the opposite of what is required for success. Wedding.” Far from being a safe option, living together simply allows a permanent exit clause in the relationship. You could liken it to an “elimination” scheme for your loved ones.
A successful marriage is built on trust, commitment, loyalty, and longevity. All of these components require the one thing that is lacking in many relationships today … time.
So if marriage is not important, why should we consider it? Many teachers blame the decline in marriage on widespread poor performance and indiscipline in schools.
It is also suggested that children with a chaotic family life come to school with too much trouble learning, ruining their prospects for test success.
An increasing number of children are raised in families divided by mothers whose children have been fathered by different men. This, according to teachers, is helping children develop behavioral and mental health problems, including eating disorders and suicidal thoughts. Children are more likely to lead “dysfunctional” lives, destroying the concept of “family unity.”
The social influences of our secular society and the decline of marriage may be acting as mutual catalysts. Paradoxically, the problem of our disinterest in the Christian church can be solved by observing the behavior of those who follow other religions, such as young Muslims. There is an underlying social stigma associated with being a practicing young Christian. Young Muslims, however, have a different opinion. Being religious is a way of showing that you are proud of your heritage. It is this attitude that allows young Muslims to assert their identity by being more observant than their parents.
Thus, by embracing the sacred vows of marriage, it can serve not only to create a stronger family bond, but also to encourage men and women to return to the pews while seeking the religious, moral, and social support provided by a congregation. when starting a meeting. own family.
So let’s ignore the UK Labor Party’s politically influenced benefits system, which ignores the status of husbands and wives and pays parents more to remain single.
We must also turn a blind eye to the social influence of celebrities, who seek to marry whimsically in Las Vegas, only to scream for divorce, before you can say, “Love me dearly.”
So let us embrace the institution of marriage and the preservation of moral values, if only to criticize the godfather’s speech at a large dinner and copious amounts of after-dinner drinks … Hic!
