And they are more likely to absorb them if the parents practice those principles themselves, demonstrating them by example (rather than by preaching).none of my business. I would hope, for his/her own sake, that he/she not find it necessary, or desirable, to resort to adultery. But if he/she does, I do not know the circumstances, and so I withhold judgment.

But those themes can be addressed with intelligence and taste (as they have been in literature).
