"Police said the father and his girlfriend...
"Tells me a lot..."
I am really so sick of reading "the child's father and his girlfriend" and "the child's mother and her boyfriend."
It's everywhere ! Last week on the front page of the Washington Post was a photo of a military burial, with the flag presented to the dead Marine's son as the child's mother, the dead Marine's girlfriend, sat nearby. I read that Steve Nash's girlfriend is expecting their child in the Fall.
I don't understand how these men and women can bring children into the world and not make a commitment, to each other for that child's benefit, through marriage. What am I missing?

What do you do if you are a parent who wasn't given a choice in the matter? My daughter is doing very well, I have always been aware of the failure rate being higher for her. But I did not have a choice to commit to it (the marriage) for life or not....:(
Divorce is too easy for starters. Rather than work on problems, people just walk away. Lack of spiritual and moral guidance.
Everyone wants to get married in a church in God's presence, but no one wants to follow God's advise. Lack of commitment. Alcohol abuse, drug abuse.
It gets worse with each passing generation because fewer and fewer people are brought up with any sort of spiritual and moral guidance. Perhaps there should be a mandatory marriage school that must be completed before people get married. The church (Catholic) used to make you go to mandatory marriage school, so maybe some secular form of that should be made mandatory. Human relation class in high school?
