Christian Marriage is Vital for Children
The Vital Role of Christian Marriage
In a recent massive 64 page survey the UK Childrens Society charity dismissed C
as an important factor in childhood happiness. The charity argues it is the quality of the relationship inside a family, instead of the structure, which has the largest impact on a child’s happiness and well being.
Christian Marriage and Childhood
The study – called Good Childhood – studied 6,000 young people aged 8 to 15 to provide a summary of 21st century childhood and suggest how their futures could be improved.The study, endorsed by the Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu, one of the charity’s executives, says the basis of happiness reside in stability and calm at home.
But it also said consumer goods have a huge impact, with iPods, designer trainers, satellite TV and ‘the right clothes’ regarded as vital aspects of a child’s well-being. The results are completely different to previous studies. 3 years ago the Children’s Society produced a report in which it said children do best when raised up by 2 parents with a longterm commitment to each other, and warned that cohabiting relationships were more likely to dissolve and cause harm to children.This latest report, however, said it was not important that children lived with their birth parents.
Christian Marriage not IPods
Here at www.Christianlovematch.com we find it alarming that a report published by a children’s charity dedicated to encouraging policies that promote the welfare of children should have zero to say about the positive and protective value of Christian marriage.
In fact Researcher and author Jill Kirby said: ‘The best guardian of stability for children is having two married parents. The Children’s Society is ignoring that in favour of a materialistic disposable society.’
The most important factors in the report which did not rate ‘marriage’ at all were shamingly:
Pocket Money
IPOD
Nike trainers
Cable TV
Designer clothes
Family holidays.
