Question:
Is disrespect for marriage cause for so many children in trouble?

The first marriage was in the garden between Adam and Eve. Eve was taken from Adam's side. Adam said, "Finally, a person like me. Her bones are from my bones. Her body is from my body. She was taken out of man, so I will call her woman." That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife. In this way two people become one.

This shows what a marriage should look like. But before man and woman was placed in the garden, the earth had already been prepared to sustain them.

What I'm getting at is a "nest" had been prepared for them. I feel that's what children need to have the best chance to thrive. The man and woman become one and as such are a "nest" for babies born to them.

What we have now is people who live impulsively, thoughtlessly and with little if any preparation for their safety. Much of the time there is no "nest" and children just fall where they land. If they are born with a nest, a parent or parents selfishness can rip it from them.

God said, "I hate divorce."
Malachi 2:14-
"You fill the place of worship with your whining and sniveling because you don't get what you want from God. Do you know why? Simple. Because God was there as a witness when you spoke your marriage vows to your young bride, and now you've broken those vows, broken the faith-bond with your vowed companion, your covenant wife. God, not you, made marriage. His Spirit inhabits even the smallest details of marriage. And what does he want from marriage? Children of God, that's what. So guard the spirit of marriage within you. Don't cheat on your spouse.

16"I hate divorce," says the God of Israel. God-of-the-Angel-Armies says, "I hate the violent dismembering of the 'one flesh' of marriage." So watch yourselves. Don't let your guard down. Don't cheat.

17You make God tired with all your talk.

"How do we tire him out?" you ask.

By saying, "God loves sinners and sin alike. God loves all." And also by saying, "Judgment? God's too nice to judge."

Are you serious? I do not see how one has anything to do with the other. Listening to you would make us to believe that the ONLY kids in trouble are the ones from faulty marriages. Its absurd and irrational thought processing in my book. There are SO many good reasons why divorce is needed and necessary in life.



I have 4 sons (10, 16, 18, 20) that I raised and am raising alone and my boys are exceptionally grounded to say they come from a single parent house hold. NONE of my boys have been in jail or hang in the streets....HOW was I able to do this without a husband?



NO ONE marries to get divorce but this thing called "life" is hell on wheels and you just never know what your going to get or whats going to happen.



Take it one day at a time and enjoy the ride...

Kids are in trouble because of bad parenting not because of marriage. Kids of married couples are in just as much trouble as kids of divorced parents. It has to do with bad parenting and selfishness. Anyone can take a qoute out of the bible and interpret it to mean whatever they want it to mean. There are so many "stories" from the bible that were omitted that people know nothing about, because it did not conform to the views they saw fit at the time.

Parents aren't always the cause of kids going bad, and not all necessarily need Bible quotes to guide them as parents. God is Spirit and perfect. He isn't a cruel judge, or he wouldn't be perfect.

you sense which you will't what? Your question is unfinished................................. Do you sense you are able to not proceed the marriage via fact of each and every thing it fairly is going on with you husbands ex companion, or do you sense which you will not proceed to cope with what you married into? that is an extremely complicated undertaking, i'm not asserting that is not, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that i don't sense each and every of the undertaking's are all coming from the ex-companion and son's habit. i could be incorrect via fact i don't recognize the story. try chatting with your husband, stress your concerns which i'm extra advantageous than useful you have already got, and if there is any communication with the ex-companion, celebration and notice in case you are able to come to any compromising arraignments for visitation. as some distance via fact the new child's habit, undergo in suggestions that that is tougher for him than any of the adults, and that he ought to be responding to the situation he's in (divorced confirm's, different homestead, being away, unhappiness, stress, thoughts, confusion) not individually to ward's you and that in case you respond detrimental and with anger, in spite of the particular incontrovertible fact that it gets you dissatisfied, that is going to in user-friendly terms upload to an already latest emotional stress this new child has, and it provides on your frustration. i did not use the be conscious undertaking via fact toddlers from previous marriages are not issues and should not be defined as being a undertaking. I choose you the better of luck to you and your loved ones!

No lazy parents and too much permissive parenting are the problems with the kids. Too many parents would rather medicate their kids on a percieved problem than work it out properly or just let kids be kids.

a biblical story exists about LILLITH being adam's first wife. the story was omitted from the king james version so it's more unheard of but it does exist.
