Recently, I attended a mid-singles dance in Utah. It was a sad state to see. Many of these people had simply given up on life and were on life support so to speak. One sad observation was how many divorced women there were that had 3 or 4 children. If only the Church would teach wait five years into your marriage before having children, many of these sisters might have had it easier. My heart goes out to them since some of them have dead-beat ex-husbands.
The cycle continues with each new generation of TBMs in the Church: quick engagements because of the prohibition of sexual activity, lots of Children in a short-period of time, and then divorce. The cycle goes on and on with no changes in sight. That leaves both men and women with ill feelings to the Church for their ill-advised counsel. The Church, of course, would be quick to blame the individual and never fess up that 80% of all failures in a system is systemic based.
