Marriage Is
By it.K. Mallinson
Marriage is ... not divorce.
Family, friends, persons in all
socio-economic levels of
society, young newly-weds,
persons wed over 40 years are
getting divorced. “We never
thought they would do it."
“We neVer thought it would
happeri td us.” These are two
statements one hears. “It’s
too easy to get divorced.”
“It’s the E.R.A.” “Get the
women out of the job market
and back into the home." “It’s
the money.” “It’s the sex
revolution.” These are some
solutions offered to the pro
blems. But what if we made
marriage as hard to get into
as to get out of. That is, what
if it was required to wait a
year before getting married?
What if the ministers’ fee was
$250. (I hear cheers from the
clergy, Boo’s from the
Lawyers). What if the couple
had to stand before a Judge
before they got married!?
Let’s work on the problem
of Marriage. When people get
married - why do they? What
dreams do they have? What
equipment for the “Two
becoming one” do they have
to survive marriage? We are
less equipped to enter mar
riage than any other area of
human life. AND IT MAT
TERS MOST! What happens
in marriage can cripple or
enhance every aspect of
human life and society.
The lack of marriage
counseling prior to the wed
ding, after the wedding, in
crisis situations, is appalling.
California has made it man
datory to have pre-marriage
counseling. Some ministers
ask in pre-marriage counsel
ing that if the couple begin to
have problems that they come
back to them first before see
ing a lawyer. New attempts to
answer the question ‘ ‘What is
marriage?” is being examin
ed. Locally, Marriage En
couragement at First
Presbyterian Church, Eden
ton for three Sundays, May 1,
8, 15 is one of them.
Not “How to stop divorce?”
but “How to have Marriage?”
is the answer.
