I just finished reading the article regarding Single moms and am printing it out for my 14 year old daughter. Although, as a Christian, I'm teaching my daughter that marriage comes first, I also understand that society is teaching something totally different. This is the best article, yet, as it completely backs what I say . . . . at a societal point of view! God's plan works for everyone. You just have to take a look around you to see what single parenting is doing to this country. I don't totally blame the single parents, as most of them are being misled by the public, some of them are pushed into being a single parent (ie: divorce), while others are seeking for "love" they felt they didn't get from their own lives. No matter WHY we have this mentality that it's okay to have children without a stable home life (Yes. Marriage makes for a stable home-life, even if it is not always happy. Just ask the children - no matter their age - what they would rather have), we need to change the thinking on priorities in this country. The proof is in the pudding. The question is: What do we do with this information. I think the first thing we need to do is teach the young . . . like my daughter. Help them to make better choices. We also need to stop idolizing people (ie: celebrities) who are having children out of wedlock. It just seems "okay" . . . but it's not.

Thanks for that article! I plan to share it with MANY young girls!
