How Our Parents' Divorces Ruined Love For An Entire Generation
Growing up, I didn’t realize what a gift it was that my parents were happily married. Their love was (and still is) a beautiful witness to me and my brothers. We were able to see, from a young age, the fruits of a life lived in true communion with another.
Unfortunately, this is no longer the norm. Today, almost 50% of marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. Every 13 seconds, a divorce is finalized. These statistics are tragic for many reasons — the first being that marriage, the glue of society, is no longer held as sacred in our country. What was once a beacon and stronghold of love, fidelity, and stability in our society has been ravaged by the sexual revolution, an ever-increasing faithlessness, and the me-first attitude.
