Unsung heroes

A woman who teaches family studies at the college level - already a clue to the questionability of her beliefs - says that "a growing body of evidence suggests that normalizing divorce and surrounding it with expectations of cooperative behavior is far better for everyone than the two extremes of trying to prevent people from divorce at all or encouraging them to ‘win’ or prove fault in a divorce dispute." Spoken like a true, academic, a politically-correct, agenda-driven liberal. Her justification for normalizing divorce comes from this explanation: " Poor impulse control, antisocial behavior, disengaged parenting, contemptuous behavior toward a partner, and untreated physical or mental problems all make couples more likely to divorce." Is there any human behavioral symptom not covered under her umbrella of excuse? She continues, that "each factor also raises the likelihood of maladjustment in the children even if the parents stay wed. Sometimes, divorce, however painful, is the best outcome for a poorly functioning family." Only a liberal can project upon lies the aura of truth. Where’s the evidence of long-term harm to back up these statements since all families are dis-functional in one way or another?

Thinking Americans know that our society worships too many false heroes, supports too many unworthy causes and upholds too many weaknesses of character. But on this day, June 6th which reminds us of D-day in 1944, let’s remember the soldiers who stormed beaches without whining and fought on to accomplished the ‘mission.’ It’s a sad and tragic fact that the media fails to cover heroes. It’s a sadder and more tragic fact that the ‘mission’ of marriage has been trivialized and its failures normalized. Husbands and wives, true heroes who fill their ‘mission’ are too often unsung.
