Does the Culture Support Marriages?

I read the following article in Christianity Today online. It is self explanatory.

A recent billboard advertisement for the law firm Fetman, Garland & Associates targeted young, wealthy, married couples of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. Its message was simple: "Life's short. Get a divorce." On either side of the words were sexually-charged images of a man and a woman.

It is no wonder that people marry late if ever and divorce quickly even in multiples. With professional groups like the law firm mentioned here divorce and sex outside of marriage seems the way to go.

But as a marriage and family counselor for over 30 years I can say with confidence that marriage of one man and one woman for one entire life is the best way to live a long and happy life. Married people feel better, live longer, have more and better sex and enjoy better jobs and more financial blessings.

Take your choice: Keep your marriage, your money and health or give all three to some legal shysters who want your money to spend on debouchery.
