       Let’s get a little tuff here for a moment. Why do we see so many children with single parents these days? Is it because one person goes off and cheats, which in turn leads the other person in the marriage to file for divorce? Sometimes. Is it because people don’t make the commitment for marriage in the first place? Certainly a lot of times. Is it due to the fact that the children are undisciplined which causes the home to wind up in turmoil and the parents to separate? I suppose that happens. The root, however, behind all these kinds of situations is that fact that one person, or both people, in the relationship are failing to take responsibility. No one said anyone had to get married. No one said anyone had to have kids. If you’ve made those choices, then you have taken a certain, specific, important, in fact crucial responsibility upon yourself. Man or woman, it doesn’t matter. Each partner in the marriage is responsible to do his or her part. That’s in how they act and how they treat. That involves give and take. That involves sharing the responsibility of caring for the children.
