Children need a good environment to grow with a balanced view of life. Marriage is an institution that can provide such an environment. It is very healthy for any child to grow with both the father and the mother within reach. I understand there could be some exceptional circumstances that make this unrealistic, but it is of the essence to lay emphasis on the need for a marriage atmosphere for a healthy development of any child.
We have different arguments and views associated to the well being of children who are raised by single parents in comparison to those who grow with both parents around them. As much as we want to justify single parenting, we need first to agree that every child has a father and a mother. These two will always provide a better upbringing of their children than it would be in the case of a single parent. I am aware that this is a very sensitive subject but we have to face the reality. Those children who are raised devoid of one the parents lack some important life values.
I wish to emphasize that marriage provides the best environment for a balanced growth of the children. Nevertheless, for my dear and beloved friends who are single parents, you can still make it even under those challenging circumstances. God, who is your strength, would wish you to know that those children are precious and therefore, you should do everything within your means to raise them well. Otherwise, let the single parent desire and look forward for a good marriage partner. This partner will play the good role of a spouse and also a father/mother to the children.
Marriage Is Incredible
Marriage is an exceptionally incredible institution. When my daughter was seven years old, she could tell me about her boyfriend - Joseph - who happened to be her classmate. She believes Joseph will be her husband despite the fact that he is not clear in his mind about her seriousness of their friendship. That is how incredible marriage is. Both the under aged and the aged, the rich and the poor, the weak and the strong are all giving marriage a very serious thought. The astonishing high rate of divorce is not, will not and should not be a hindrance to any individual from considering and indeed jumping into it, of course at the appropriate time.
Marriage is such an awesome idea that not many consider the many and great responsibilities associated with it before getting into it. Many married couples can not remember when they sat down to plan on how to tackle the challenges they face in their marriages today but the amazing fact is that they are able to maneuver through them all. This means that in a marriage of serious, positive and committed couple, there exists some divine power which when activated, releases sufficient energy, grace and wisdom to face and manage any sort of a crisis or conflict arising.
This being the case, then there is no cause of fear of getting into marriage. Friends, just be sincere. Whether you are single, married, separated, divorced or even windowed, there exists a desire in every sound human being to be in a long lasting and fulfilling companionship. To some, this longing is on the surface and to others, it is hidden deep. To some, it is a top priority while to others; it is just an issue to consider. Whichever way, marriage is wonderful. Go for it, stay in it – whatever applies to you.
