  • Getting out of a mess

    What got us into this population mess to begin with was the contraceptive tampering with the natural, intrinsic bond between sex for intimacy and pleasure and sex for reproduction in a lifelong heterosexual marriage. Once we have taken what God built into creation and decided to do things our own way, we have to figure out how to deal with ...

  • Re: Feminism ended Marriage/Family

    I came to this very interesting post thread a few days late, by way of Blue Skies by way of another Responder to both Blue Skies and MichaelBernard1 on the Iraq War exegesis as to ''how we got here.'' While I sympathize with this female academician and her illustrations greatly, based on her point of view, I have to either disagree or comment ...

  • marriage does not guarantee success

    I take issue with the idea that ''out-of-wedlock births are a national catastrophe''. I believe the national catastrophe is a lack of accountability. I think that single parents raising childred without the support of the absent parent should be looked at as ''deadbeat parents are a national catastrophe''. The parents remaining with the ...

  • give it up - after you've already given it up

  • Why not just discourage having kids instead?

    Marriage won't save children. And I'm offended that every discussion of human welfare is based on what economic class one ends up in. Do we all really have to buy into that? Having worked with kids for 20 years, having been one, having had them--having lived with divorce--both as a child and as a parent I provide this opinion: Until we ...

  • Sex outside of Marriage & Man's Arrogance

    I commend Ms Yoffe for tackling a daunting, yet ignored societal crisis. The effects of this crisis are most evident in the social services offices, public schools, juvenile detention centers of America. If one has never visited or taken part there in, one can watch The Wire, Season 4, to get a fictional, yet poignant and masterful portrayal of ...

  • Unwed Mothers

    The only real pearls of wisdom that I could cull from this article was that marriage before parenthood fosters the deliberation process in couples that serves both them and their children well. We as single women need to deliberately improve our own communication with casual and committed sexual partners about contraception in order to prevent ...
