In its religious sense marriage has permanence. In its Christian sense it is monogamistic and absolute, you are committing adultry if you remarry or fornicate with the exception of certain conditions.<BR/><BR/>People wonder at the degeneracy in our society and are blind to just how eroded the struts and ties that bind it together have become. You don't really become aware of this until you attend High Church services beside a WW11 generation congregation and as an adult in 'reborn' ernest with fresh eyes to see and ears to hear.<BR/><BR/>The issue of fair division of wealth post marital breakdown has become a much bigger one than the sin of abandoning solemn vows - how sad, but what else did we expect in this 'progressive' age ? If divorce were harder then this problem of settlement wouldn't have arisen. Divorce was always there as an option for the abused BTW.<BR/><BR/>When there are children invonlved one has to accept (if you are to consider yourself to be an adult) that your satisfaction is secondary to theirs. Part of being a wise, strong and stoical adult is that the children must never know about your unhappiness, so you put a brave front on it - a veneer. And a veneer is ALL that 'civilistion' is or ever was.<BR/><BR/>We now see the cracks in this carapice as grown adults are now known to bleat "'snot fair" as petulently as any child "What about my fulfilment ?". Last week I had a friend walk out on his family and his parting shot to his 9 year old "This is your fault, we were happy 'till you came along." This sums it all up don't you think ? Where was his quiet manly stoicism at this moment ? Well he was out of practice obviously, as so many of us are.<BR/><BR/><BR/>To those whose exhortations are for divorce with impunity:<BR/><BR/>We're a spoilt generation in need of a smack. Don't you think we're pushing in the wrong direction ?<BR/><BR/>(I don't expect the divorce lawyers would welcome my ideas, bad for business - always a good sign that)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35649541.post-79077408112229893192007-02-23T19:12:00.000+00:002007-02-23T19:12:00.000+00:00DAvid, judges won't be wearing wigs for much longe...DAvid, judges won't be wearing wigs for much longer, they are being brought up to date. <BR/><BR/>Newmania, thank you for the great plug, btw, I've had an exhausting day, and really need a blog free evening.
