In my studies this week, I was reminded of the importance of the family. In every book of scripture that I have read, the family is mentioned and expected. I feel that one of the downfalls of this world is the lack of support for traditional families. Family roles have been blended, and the world no longer sees men and women as different. There is a lot of pressure for women to go out and have crazy amazing careers and those who don't want that, are looked down upon and criticized. Men who are family oriented are looked at as being "whipped" or no longer in control of their own lives.
As the number of solid and complete families diminishes, so does the integrity and good will of man. Children are no longer being taught how to play with others or to accept those who are different than them. They aren't being taught what it is like to have two loving and supportive parents who take care of and provide for them. There are a lot of problems that can be solved if we were to focus on building up and supporting families rather then scrutinizing them for challenging the current ways of the world.
