Not all families are equal for the raising of children. Not every form of diversity deserves celebration. Canada's 2006 census, released yesterday, shows that marriage is in decline, and common-law unions and single parenthood continue to grow. And that is not good for kids. Marriage is still the best framework in which to raise healthy, happy children.Can you believe this was posted in The Globe And Mail? Looks like the grim message of the last census is really getting through. Will it become the wake-up call for all of us, so we work together to strengthen traditional family and marriage? I hope so.
The online debate has been closed, but here's a comment worth highlighting:
Traditional marriage involves personal sacrifice and commitment as the couple struggles to raise children. We no longer live in a society that has values personal sacrifice, commitment or children. We value divorce, common-law marriage and abortion for we all want to be “free” of all moral ties and obligations that we have not personally chosen. Our tax system and our whole way of living in Canada makes it harder to be married than to be single. Why would anyone want to be in a traditional marriage for our society is so against it?
