The Family Unit

This is an interesting article from Albert Mohler's blog. The underlying article discusses the breakdown of the black community as a result of the breakdown in black family structure. We can all learn an important lesson about the importance of a stable family structure where our children have both parents living together, showing each other love and compassion.

The biggest problem I have with gay couples and single parents raising children, is that the children miss an integral part of their development. I believe it is very important for children to have a parent of each , not only to teach the same-sex child how a man or woman should be, but to show the opposite child the qualities they should desire in a spouse. That is the greatest gift a parent can give a child, a loving happy relationship that the child can .

Obviously not every traditional family can or does provide this for its children, but we can certainly hope and pray for the future of the family in our country. Nothing is more important than a strong family unit in raising emotionally balanced children who will in turn raise the same.

I know that there are situations where single parents have no choice but to be in that position. And I know my view is not 'politically correct' regarding gay couples, but a strong family is so important to the long-term heath and development of children.
