When families split, often women are left alone to raise the children without the stability of both parents. Women tend to be too lenient on children, and the men follow to gain the love of children who only visit them on the weekends.
Children do not have two homes when there is a split in households; they have no home at all. They are visitors in each other's homes without the constancy of people who greet one another with love when they arrive in their single homes from work or other activities.
spirit, often without the ability to earn as much as men, so there is more poverty than if
More women are independent in their spirit often without the ability to make as much money as men, so there is more poverty than if the couples never split.
Because of this the split couples indulge in more immorality as they date other people. Abortion has risen because of the state women find themselves in when they engage in intimate relations with those who are not committed to them for life.
We have more shack-ups now than ever before, and it is growing because the churches have accepted these immoral living arrangements so as not to offend. Shack-ups are nothing more than unpaid prostitution; the dignity of love and commitment is gone, and the children notice it even if they don't understand it entirely.
The nuclear family, consisting of a man and a woman for life, has been so degraded that the children from these influences end up doing the same things themselves as they devalue marriage and have little regard for the children they produce in these weakened relationships that subvert God's design for the family.
When the nuclear family, as God designed it, degrades, is demolished, and wrecked, everything else in the culture is ruined.
Now we have Christians devoted to the Bible speaking the truth to help the culture understand how far-reaching and devastating divorce and remarriage is, being treated with monstrous contempt by their fellow believers. We expect rejection from non-believers, but the shocking reality is that the worst persecution for exposing this evil is coming from those who attend churches every week.
We can see how the ruination of the nuclear family through divorce and remarriage has led and growing worse as the next generation sees no value in marriage. Disrespect for one another is nearly nonexistent, as many use and discard one another frequently.
Lastly, these "blended marriages" in remarriage have produced angry children who have no regard for the spouse who is not their bio-parent. The new partner in a remarriage or shack-up situation is not regarded by the children as an authority over them. The non-bio parents have no leverage with the children of their live-in, and they are disrespected and dismissed by the children in most cases.
Often the bio-parent coddles their children and dismissess the authority of the remarried or shack-up lover.
It is one of the most monstrous lies the devil has been able to convince people that children do well after divorce and thrive. NO THEY DO NOT!!!
The dissolution of the nuclear family has led to every other form of evil and upheaval possible in a society.
Matthew 19:6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no man can separate".
1 Corinthians 7:10–11 "Commands wives not to separate from husbands, and husbands not to divorce wives, with the option of reconciliation or remaining unmarried."
When the churches that have influence over the culture defy what God commanded, they will be held accountable for enabling the evil that comes from this rebellion against God.
