I read with special interest: Barna also noted that the impact of such widespread divorce has left its mark on young people. “One of the most striking findings in our recent survey among teenagers is that when we asked them to name their top goals for the future, one of the highest-rated was to get married and have the same spouse for their entire life. That’s a remarkable goal – one that reflects their own exposure to, and rejection of, a family that has to survive divorce, for whatever reasons. Since millions of those teens have never had a healthy marriage modeled for them, we can only pray that they will have the strength of character and the support systems available to make their goal a reality.” I wonder if like politics, and economics, strength in marriage is just a cyclical phenomenon. Things seem to repeat, over and over and over again. The war on drugs, always seems to me just a repeat of prohibition, which was a repeat of the opium crackdowns, which was a repeat of...something else. Religious revivals rise and fall, sensitivity to cultural differences rise and fall, if it is all part of some great cycle I wonder what it all means. If anything.
