Oh, and I might also mention the substantial increase in child abuse and child molestation that occurs in broken families.
Children are often left with strangers because mom is single and can't handle everything.
There is a marked increase in molestation in stepfamilies (though many, many stepfathers are honorable).
Every study on the psychological impact of divorce on children will say that it is DEVASTATING to a child's psyche.
If we don't do SOMETHING to seriously address adultery in our communities, this is the result for children. But, as I said we can't really condemn adultery as Christians can we? We have to be peaceful and civilized about it. MISERY and SUFFERING is the result for our nation's kids, not to mention chaos and irreverence in our streets and in our schools.
We in the west don't want anything to really change, we just want to join a new interest group, participate in a focal group, or hear a passionate sermon in hope of making some minute difference. Can you not see that the problems in America require a major FOUNDATION SHIFT?
