Today, on the front page of the St. Petersburg Times newspaper, an article heralded the State of Florida's commitment to upholding a "Traditional" understanding of Family Life. Perhaps influenced by back-to-back G.O.P. Governors (the former Governor Jeb Bush, and current Governor Charlie Crist), it turns out that my home state is teaching young people to "wait until you are married" before having sex.
Praise the LORD!
Whereas in other states, the liberal "have sex but just don't get caught" perspective reigns, here in Florida, young people are being taught that abstinence before marriage is how to not get pregnant.
Imagine that! Traditional Family Life finally affirmed (rather than attacked, caricatured, belittled, etc.) at the official Governmental level.
Truly, in states such as Florida and Texas (another state mentioned in the article), Traditional Family Life seems to be making a come-back in certain areas of the Union.
But, with such PROMISE, also comes a warning!
Although the United States of America currently allows for baby-killing (post Roe v. Wade), and although the U.S.'s divorce laws have wreaked havoc on the American Family, just simply saying, "Do not have sex until you are married" is not the end-all, be-all answer.
What does it mean to "wait until you are married" when marriage itself is being jettisoned as a "Traditional" category. If men can "marry" each other, and if divorce is rampant (sometimes even "rewarding" the person who files for a divorce through state-assistance!), then if we are telling our children to "wait until they are married," then we may be sentencing them to confinement in an institution that has largely been destroyed by the State to begin with!
Just wait until you get married so we will now teach. But, in so doing, we must also outlaw homosexual 'marriage' at the State and Federal levels, and also promote a judicial system that makes divorce itself more difficult to obtain and never with State-assistance for such a divorce!
Blessings in Jesus,
