views and thoughts on topics, especially ones pertaining to christianity – with an emphasis on how most christians either ignore or discriminate against unmarried christians – and how christians have turned marriage and parenting into IDOLS and how there is no true support for sexual purity, virginity, or celibacy among christians – this is a blog for me to vent; I seldom permit dissenting views. I don't debate dissenters ————-
Exploding the Myth of the Traditional Family by E. Hines
….But today, most families hardly fit that [nuclear family] mold. Fifty percent of American adults are unmarried and 41 percent of children in America are born to unmarried parents.
That is an indication that the very concept of family is evolving, as more and more people realize that there are any number of ways to build good and functioning familial units.
Yet, the narrative and emotional pull of the traditional nuclear family continues to exert its influence, thanks in part to conservative forces, like Focus on the Family and the Heritage Foundation, that spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually to promote the false message that the nuclear family, allegedly under threat, must be preserved.
In an effort to push back against the voices dominating discussions of what real families look like, the organization (Link): Family Story has taken flight, with the aim of transforming “the way we think and talk about what makes a good family.”
