Blended families derive from a number of thing as well as senseless reasons but again man awful pride is playing you straight out of position. I could name several things from my research, my observation and my own experience that I could list why the divorce rate is more than 50% of all marriages here in the United States. Perhaps that is not as alarming to you as it is to me but when I compare the present generation to that of past generation I see a very ugly picture of marriage as well as plenty of devastation to the family.

The grip of sin has man in an intellectual and spiritual comma and until man awakens from unconsciousness, the family will not be what God intended it to be nor will marriage come about the way God ordained. Sometime I feel as though man think he has the answer but still relationships are going from bad to worst. Doubtfully, man does not and will not ever get it right until man begins to live right!

This extends far beyond having employment, men six packs, nor his good looks or her strong back if you catch my drift. Because survey shows that all these things can be in place but still marriage fails or really do not occur at all. However some have grown comfortable as to not marrying and simply cohabiting. This does not occur without a promise to eventually going to the altar after seeing if the two adult can live together successfully.

Shacking up, living together or cohabitation definitely is not the thing to do. However it is evident that cohabitation is replacing marriage faster than man can blink his eyes. Any sensible person would have to ask why? I contend and moreover I am prepared to argue that one of the primary reasons for this new trend with this generation is because of the results of what is seen with the eyes of the unmarried that happen with the married. The failure of marriage! The nasty divorce rate is blinding folks from actually marrying.

We know that human are intimate beings and definitely need a partner to have any happiness at all, so the next best thing to marriage is proposed and apparently accepted. You see couples who live together can share expenses and get to know each other as well. They wish to check them out to see if they are worth the keep. Also breaking up is a lot cheaper if that what it comes to, compared to divorce. In short this generation has become intimidated. But this is one of the worst decision man or woman could make. I will express to you why in our next article…Stay Tuned!!
