At Last Someone Gets It!

As much of the West  continues to reap the deadly harvest of the so-called "Sexual Revolution", one judge in Britain has stood up and said that the only way forward is to recover the primary role of marriage in creating a stable society.

British Court Justice Shakes the Nation:

Only Reaffirmation of Marriage Can Mend Britain's Broken Family Structure

Teresa Neumann (June 18, 2009)

"There is no quick-fix solution, although the reaffirmation of marriage as the gold standard would be a start: statistically, it has proved to be the most enduring relationship, and the best environment for children."

(United Kingdom)—

UK newspapers are buzzing this week with statements from Justice Paul Coleridge who claims that only marriage can mend "broken Britain."

The sensation his stand is causing in Britain may not get much airtime in the U.S., but Breaking Christian News is here to see you read about it.

Listing a litany of statistics regarding children from broken homes, The Daily Mail quoted Coleridge as saying marriage should be promoted by the government to end the "social anarchy of family breakdown."

Coleridge also said mothers and fathers "who fail to commit to each other [are] engaging in a game of 'pass the partner' that has left millions of children scarred for life."

The Telegraph U.K. ran a commentary by Coleridge which read, in part:

"There is a tendency, especially among the chattering classes, to assume that we have attained a social utopia, in which we are entirely and happily free from taboos, stigmas and other constraints on behaviour. It sounds so beguiling: let us all do what we want, when we want and sort out any mess as we go along.

"But surely the test of any social change is whether it enhances people's lives or makes them more miserable. And this is where I take issue with the modern view of the family. If it is so successful, why are the statistics for separation so large? More significantly, why are the family courts overwhelmed with cases involving damaged, miserable or disturbed children? How do other children, caught up in less serious separations, really feel? Do they relish the endless changes of partner, or adapting to a new step-parent and step-siblings?

"In the end, however," concludes Coleridge, "it is the behaviour of individuals that has driven us here, and it is only changes in behaviour that can make a radical difference. The time has come for a major examination of all the issues surrounding family life, so that we can stand back and remould our behavior for the benefit of us all—especially our children."

God bless you, Justice Coleridge.
