I am not trying to pass judgement or throw stones, especially as I did the same thing. But, can anyone explain what has made it so acceptable to have children before being married? What makes marriage so taboo? What has made marriage something we just do on a whim? Why are so many children deciding at such a young age to never marry?
I have seen it on social media, within family, and among many friends. I hear many say that they think marriage is just something that people used to do, but not necessarily important or required before they begin having children and start a life with someone.
There are many sitcoms that promote the idea of living together and having children before marriage is even discussed. They buy homes before they wed, live together for ten years or more, or they don’t even marry. What makes this okay?
The Bible says that if a man and woman live together as if married but are not married, they are committing adultery and living in sin. The Bible says that a man is to cleave to his wife, yes wife! Why has the culture disqualified the Bible in such great extent?
We need to change the way our children think. We need to show them and others that when things get tough or there are disagreements, we find compromises and work out the issues. We need to show them how important marriage is and what God can do within a healthy, strong marriage that is able to overcome great things!
