This is Too Disgustingly Biased to Ignore

So I was reading ManOnFire_89's discussion on marriage, and I thought, "I just heard a story about the sad shape of marriages these days, maybe I'll re-read it and post a link on his site." The story is printed by the truthful patriotic conservative NY Times and entitled, "51% of Women Are Now Living Without Spouse." http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/16/us/16census.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin&oref=slogin The problem was that their 51% of women was of all women over 15. http://newsbusters.org/node/10205 If you are 15 or 16 I hope you aren't married. But why is this a big deal? The left is using stories like these to show that marriage is really ruining women's lives. Part of the NY Times story read, “For better or worse, women are less dependent on men or the institution of marriage,” Dr. Frey said. “Younger women understand this better, and are preparing to live longer parts of their lives alone or with nonmarried partners. For many older boomer and senior women, the institution of marriage did not hold the promise they might have hoped for, growing up in an ‘Ozzie and Harriet’ era.” As soon as marriage is "proven" destructive to ones life, what's to stop any type of relationship from occurring between any number of partners? What's there to stop these rlationships from raising children? Ugh!!

As young people, let's commit that when we are married we will have marriages that others will see and ask, "how can I have a happy marriage like that?" It's a serious thing growing up.
