Absolute Sexual Ethics Is THE Cultural Battle Line
#200-Absolute Sexual Ethics Is THE Cultural Battle Line
Let’s start with a reading from scripture. These scriptures are from the Daily Inspiration Men and Women Should Live Intoxicated by Conjugal Love This is the October 6th edition. They are from the Cheon Seong Gyeong, selections from the speeches of Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
Section 4. The Secret of Entering Heaven
4.5. Conjugal love is the central flower of the ideal of love
All the harmonies and phenomena of this world that come out of love are as a fragrance to God. God wants to live within this beautiful fragrance and so He is seeking it. God’s love descends to the place of sexual relationship between husband and wife. This is where all creation and the universe are harmonized. (Blessed Family – 889)
If you think about a royal palace of love, there is a royal palace in the spirit world and a royal palace on the earth. Where do these palaces make contact? That is the question. In other words, where do human beings and God meet? The sexual organs that bring the unity of true love are the original land. Since this is the original land, in terms of palaces, it becomes the original palace. This is the palace that God initiates, and it is the first thing He initiates. It is the original palace. (265-215, 1994.11.21)
After happily living together with your spouse, what will you think about when you pass away? You will always think about the love organ. You will remember your spouse’s face and kiss. The only memories that remain after going to the spirit world are the ones about the union of the love organs when the husband and wife kissed and made love. Would you want to pass away holding and kissing the love organ? (269-57, 1995.4.7)
And that is the reading. As I said, today’s topic is Absolute Sexual Ethics is the Cultural Battle Line. So we’ve had a really difficult September. Now it’s October. We saw the assassination of our dear friend Charlie Kirk and a lot of other things are going on in this battle. But I’d like to point out and really bring to clarity that the real battle at its core is one of sexual ethics.
That means the ethics of a man and woman centered around marriage, family, all the things that if you read The Daily Inspiration, Reverend Sun Myung Moon is talking about on a daily basis. And we see even this is interconnected with the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
What happened, we find out that the person who assassinated Charlie Kirk was in a so-called “furries group” which is basically a sexual fetish type of group to a large extent. And we find out that among the “furries” there’s something like 85% identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. And in fact we find that that person identified as transgender and was living with his confused transgender boyfriend. So is it any surprise that this is mixed in with violence?
What was the original violence? Well, if you read The Daily Inspiration we know the original violence was the rape of Eve. That the original fall of man involved sexual violence or going against the order of God, which is that sex is the most holy and most precious thing, as I just read, the Royal Palace. And it was violated in the worst way by the devil Satan. And if you study the Unification Principle, which you can do at our website visionroot.org you will understand exactly what I mean.
So when you get these strange subcultures, like people dressing as animals and then, animals, even in their sexual culture, like it’s not like human culture, where it’s for love. So even there is something there. So these things intersect, for instance, if you think about the violent attack on the school in Tennessee. A large number of those ideologically driven attacks, the majority of them were people who were transgender who were mentally ill or sexually confused and perpetrating violence. And it’s not surprising. It’s tragic because these things are all connected together because the original violence was sexual violence and it’s an act against the very will of God, which is the world of beautiful and loving God-centered families.
So I would like to report an experience in the Urban Life Training program, and I’ve been working in the sexual absence education field and marriage education for more than two coming to three decades. So I remember during our time in Washington DC where we worked for almost two decades on this issue and founded Urban Life Training, which is short short name of ULTRA Urban Life Training & Reality Assessment Teen Choice. We had one of our STAR Guides (Students Teaching Abstinence and Responsibility), they made an image of a diamond titled “Guard Your Diamond and that was featured on our website. So some homosexual discussion group blog picked up on that because one day I was checking the web statistics there were 2000 people who had visited and looked at that image. Well they just thought it was really just a really funny or in a sick way funny that we’re promoting sexual abstinence and the concept of “Guard Your Diamond”.
In that kind of culture the sex is like you put a thing in a hole; that’s about what it amounts to, put a thing in a hole. It’s not a holy act it’s it’s something that can even be violent or sick or whatever you want to call it, but it’s not a godly act and that’s the real difference between God centered sexuality and this kind of debased sexuality. So that really is a dividing line.
VisionRoot heldfrom 2021 to 2023 eight workshops and the first one was called Dividing Line, Ending the Culture that Causes Sexual Abuse.
Part 2 of Absolute Sexual Ethics Is THE Cultural Battle Line will appear next month.

What is the Solution to Declining Fertility Rates? Part 2
Urban Life Training is the non-profit Stacey and I founded where you can form local chapters and also access materials for your own use to teach your children abstinence and be involved in the process for helping your children find a mate. We’ve also created a sister site to Urban Life Training called UnionStation.love, and there you can find your eternal match and parents are welcome to be involved in helping their children find their eternal match.
Matching candidates take a Blessing Preparation Course and receive the Blessing, Capital B. The Blessing not just marriage. It is a sacrament that connects you to the love, life and lineage of God. The Blessing Preparation Course provides a strong, God-centered foundation for candidates to find their eternal match and to pursue Blessed marriage. UnionStation.love does not tell candidates where to go to church or not to go to church or anything like that but you’ll learn about a God-centered viewpoint of marriage.
The identity of all matching candidates is verified. All candidates take the Blessing Preparation Course first before creating a matching profile. Parents are encouraged to be involved in the matching of their adult child. Stacey and I assisted our daughter in finding a spouse. Helping your child or children find a marriage partner is such an important role of parents. It is not realistic to think that your child will automatically find a spouse somewhere. You should assist them and help them and a good way to do that is to participate with them at UnionStation.love.
Stacey: It’s an important milestone in life, finding a mate and getting married. If you son or daughter wants help, then help.
Richard: So you can participate with your young adult in the process of helping them find a marriage partner. What could be a more important decision? First of all I would say the decisions that they make and you guide them to make to be sexually active or not be sexually active. Clearly every parent I’ve talked to, and I’ve worked with over 3,000 youth that have received our Relationship Intelligence Training education and I’ve worked with over 300 youth personally in clubs in Washington DC and surrounding areas and none of the dozens and dozens or even 100 parents say ‘I was sexually active, so I want my child to be sexually active’. Nobody says that.
Everybody wants their child to have the best future so we should own up to whatever our past was. If you have to have some honest discussion with your son or daughter then do it, but clearly guide them towards best future which is staying abstinent from sex before marriage and then getting married. Generally, they’ll want to be married when they’re at least 21 or older unless your child is very mature they could possibly get married earlier. But in general help them and participate in the process together. Do register at UnionStation.love with your adult child together you can participate with them they’ll receive the excellent course there on the preparation for the Blessing of marriage and if they already have someone there engaged to or thinking about, this is a great way to see if that’s really the right person by both participating in this Blessing Preparation Course together. And that’s the most important thing, to prepare yourself, not looking for a person with certain physical or whatever characteristics although those are things we talk about or are discussed in each candidate’s profile on the UnionStation.love matching site. But the most important thing is the first prepare yourself by taking the Blessing Preparation Course. What do you think Stacey?
Stacey: I think it’s a good way to have God’s view of marriage, what God thinks, and his love. And that will help.
Richard: Absolutely. That’s another really good point. What is God’s view point of marriage again this isn’t really so much about religion. You can say it is religion but it’s more like God created you and God created me. So what is God’s view point of marriage? Talk about the decline of people having children, the decline of fertility the decline of marriage rate crashing in South Korea to a 55 a percent decline in the last 35 years but also a steep decline in all other developed Nations.
If this is a top priority for you as a person, a young person, you should make it happen by joining UnionStation.love. Also join Urban Life Training to make sure you stay on track with your life and with your life goals and that’s really the most critical thing. Do you have a vision for your life where marriage is in your vision and if so do you have a vision where you’re keeping sexual purity? And if you’ve already jumped into a relationship you can become a secondary virgin and then you can also participate in our site that way.
I think these are the most crucial issues in anyone’s life and the fact that, first of all, they’re not being talked about enough and they’re being treated so casually. These are such crucial decisions. And not just being treated casually. In many schools or public schools children are indoctrinated the opposite. Oh, have sexual relationships. Oh, you might not be a boy. Oh, you might not be a girl. Like we’ve been sharing, 37% of girls in high school now don’t identify as female, and this should be in the headlines. What! Thirty Seven percent of high school girls don’t identify as female. Not 3%, 37% don’t know whether they female! How could that be? Because of indoctrination by schools; because of indoctrination by social media. That’s crazy. That’s completely unacceptable. Let’s turn this around. Let’s make a new culture of family and marriage and God-centered marriage. Do take advantage of our resources at urbanlifetraining.org and UnionStation.love. Any thoughts as we wind it down, Stacey?
Stacey: You might learn something, by taking the course that will help you in your life.
Richard: Absolutely, you might learn something. A good point. Who doesn’t need to still learn something. If you don’t need to learn something and you know everything you’ve got a problem. Nobody knows everything.
Thank you for joining today as we talk about What is the Solution to Declining Fertility Rates? Clearly it has to do with marriage, family, a God-centered view of marriage. We should be talking about this constantly and we should stop the indoctrination of our children into gender ideologies and all kinds of destructive things. Especially with the breakdown of sexual ethics; we don’t want that to happen. So as a parent you need to be involved. Do check out UnionStation.love and urbanlifetraining.org.

What is the Solution to Declining Fertility Rates? Part 1
I’m very happy to be joined by our lovely co-host, my wife Stacey Urban. This morning I’d like to talk about What is the Solution to Declining Fertility Rates? The basic idea is kind of like a no-brainer; duh, I mean people should get married and then have children.
But in our modern culture you don’t hear about that being talked about as much as you would think you would. You have leading or figures or I don’t know if you call them leading but well known figures like Elon Musk. He has like 14 children by four different women I guess he was married so maybe half of them are from his first marriage or about half but still that’s not a very good example. Children need fathers and mothers and they need to be brought up in a safe stable environment. There really are a number of different issues going on here but the biggest one is that people aren’t getting married and it’s certainly not just in the United States.
People are marrying much later now. The average age of first marriage in the 38 most developed countries, so-called oecd countries is 32 for women and 34 for men. That’s not the ideal age to bear children I mean it’s okay but you’re ready in a period of declining fertility. So what’s going on what are some reasons for that kind of statistic? People are marrying later but why are they marrying later? A quiz on the United families International website is saying what are the most commonly cited reasons young adults choose to delay or avoid marriage and the biggest ones are concerns about financial stability and career goals and lack of pressure from family to marry.
In other words marriage has become even not expected necessarily in a lot of families. Shouldn’t you as a parent or me as a grandparent be guiding our children about the importance of marriage and shouldn’t we be guiding them not to have sex before marriage? When I talk to my neighbors and ask them, ‘are you telling your children not to have sex before marriage?’, the answer is not necessarily ‘Yes”. Even my own parents were delinquent in that area. You have to set that clear expectation and lay out all the benefits and of waiting to have sex until marriage and your religious faith could be the most important one, but even if you’re not a person of faith there are many, many reasons to wait. When you subscribe to Urban Life Training.org you’ll have access to all of our relationship intelligence materials, videos, discussions and much more. We can all then easily discuss these topics with our children. It doesn’t have to be an awkward thing.
During the course of the so-called sexual Revolution the use of birth control became common. Before the sexual revolution, sex was equated with having children. Well, duh. But now there’s been a decoupling well not now maybe that’s been like 50 years now 60 years plus of sex decoupled from marriage and family. Actually this has been a disaster and is it mostly a disaster for women then for men, but none the less a disaster for both women and men. You see women getting hooked up with a bunch of psychopaths instead of waiting for marriage to have children and to create a family. And then there’s a whole feminist movement, the movement to move women into the workplace. Oh, I’ve got to have a career. But all women, and men, too, should ask ‘What’s your most important thing I need to do in my life? I think it’s sad for both women and men, since, of course, it takes two to have a family and to have children. Forming that family is best done, ideally, in your twenties not your thirties or even pushing 40.
Stacey: The whole like idea of marriage has gotten skewed crazy. Do you have any thoughts on that Stacey?
I think one thing is that having children and marriage can bring love into your life and that’s something that I don’t think should be missed.
Richard: We all desire love; we all need a partner of love. Many different factors too now becoming so common as I shared in my last episode, 70% of couples now say they’re likely to cohabit at some point in their life. That’s a bad idea, an idea that reduces your chance of marital success, increases your chance of sliding into a bad relationship and so many other things and from the man’s point of view; of course you should have a godly man which is what you should look for as a woman, that’s not going to be the case, but if you have someone else who’s ungodly or as Godly as they should be, then if you’re going to give yourself to a person, and it applies to men too but probably obviously affects women even more, then why would you do that if they’re not giving you the commitment?
These things used to be common sense, like, duh, don’t have sex until you’re married, or like that if you don’t want to have children don’t have sex. But it’s not just children of course there are STDs, emotional damage, spiritual damage, ruin of an otherwise good friendship, worry baby mama drama violent relationships and etc. etc. etc. etc., including dating violence, relationship violence, abusive relationships and relationships with psychopaths and all kinds of other things going on. Why would we expose yourself to all of that? Success through abstaining before marriage is what we emphasize in the Urban Life Training program. Urban Life Training is the non-profit Stacey and I cofounded, where you can form local chapters and also access materials for your own use is to teach your children abstinence.

Is Cohabitation a Good Way to Prepare for Marriage? Part 2
Is Cohabitation a Good Way to Prepare for Marriage? Part 2
Chapter 2 of the Unification Principle is The Human Fall. Since God created this beautiful ideal of the family, what went wrong? We know there is this being called Satan, the perpetrator of evil, but where did Satan come from; what was the root of sin? What is the fall of man? Christians traditionally say it is some kind of vague fruit, but the Unification Principle says that it is clearly a symbolic fruit, not the fruit of an actual tree. What would be so tempting that Adam and Eve would be tempted to fall? Just an apple? They had plenty to eat.
We have a clue. After they ate this fruit they covered their lower parts, indicating that this was a sexual sin. You can learn the details by studying The Fall of Man here.
The Fall of Man had to do with perfected Adam, symbolized by the tree of life, and Eve, symbolized by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. It was not just a snake which tempted them. This snake was symbolic of a spiritual being, because this snake conversed with Adam and Eve. It knew the will of God. It caused the human fall. The angel fell as a result of an illicit sexual relationship. Jesus said in John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires.” How could the devil be our father? The only way that can be true is if there is some kind of blood relationship. Human beings are the descendants of Satan, the ancient serpent who tempted human beings.Two excellent resources are UrbanLifeTraining.org and UnionStation.love. Urban Life Training raises youth leaders to model and teach about the benefits of sexual abstinence, in preparation for marriage and successful family formation. This mission is carried out by local chapters. You can form a chapter in your own area. You can also become a member of Urban Life Training as a school, a parent, or an individual and gain access to all of the great materials at urbanlifetraining.org.
These materials include Relationship Intelligence slides, videos, activities, video clips for discussion, peer counseling video clips and scripts, presenter training recordings, the STAR Interfaith Leadership Training 10 week program and much more. These are all include in your membership for just $49 per year.Check out the many article and newsletters at Urban Life Training, too, such as Eight Facts about Forced Vaccination in West Virginia. Find out how you can form a Chapter in your local community, or if you are a college student, on your college campus. Check out back issues of this newsletter, too.
Our sister site is UnionStation.love, the site for finding your eternal match. Be the One. Find the One. Those who are abstinent before marriage can find their eternal match. You will be able to learn from the Blessing Preparation Course and prepare to become a Blessed family. This is for those who are either sexually abstinent or who have returned to sexual abstinence. This is a purpose driven and purposeful way to find your eternal match. All candidates are verified, they are real people; there are no fake profiles. You will have a meaningful process geared toward finding your eternal match.
In conclusion, is cohabitation a good way to prepare for marriage? The answer is a resounding “No”. Don’t do it. If you are cohabiting and you are serious about getting married, then move out. The only exception that I would suggest is that if you already have children, you effectively are a married couple. In that case, you can apply for our Blessing Preparation Course. You will at some point go through a period of 40 days of sexual abstinence with your mate. Then you can become a Blessed couple. And, of course, you should get legally married as part of that whole process. In general, though, if you don’t have children, I would highly urge you to move out. If that breaks your relationship, so be it. It wasn’t a very good one anyway.
It is the most mind bending thing when so many people think it is good to live together when it is absolutely not a good thing to live together without marriage.
Urban Life Training emphasizes the success formula for youth of graduating from high school, not having children until you are married and at least 21 years old, and getting a full time job. If you follow all of these rules, there is a two percent chance that your family will live in poverty. If you don’t follow any of these rules, there is an 74 percent chance that your family will live in poverty. It’s really simple, but our whole society is emphasizing the wrong thing. Finding your eternal match is really about you preparing yourself. It will help a lot if you take some practical steps, like joining UnionStation.love and practicing abstinence yourself, or returning to abstinence. -
Is Cohabitation a Good Way to Prepare for Marriage?-Part 1
This month we feature Part 1 of Is Cohabitation a Good Way to Prepare for Marriage?. Also, don’t miss the job posting for an Urban Life Training School Leader in Jefferson County, WV.
Is Cohabitation a Good Way to Prepare for Marriage?
An estimated 70% of couples today will cohabit before marrying. Is this a good idea? As pointed out in an article by Brad Wilcox and Alysse ElHage, Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Joe Alwyn broke up after six years of living together. Living together before marriage does not help you odds of having a successful marriage. In fact, it hurts your odds of having a successful marriage.
Fifty percent of white evangelicals believe that cohabitation is morally acceptable if a couple plans to marry, according to Pew research! A lot of people think that you should ‘try before you buy’. People who would consider themselves ‘well educated’ still think that they should cohabit before marriage. In fact, jointly committed love is the foundation for a good marriage, and for many cohabiting couples, this is lacking. Cohabiting increases your chance of divorce from 20% to 25%. There is very little taboo now about living with someone before marriage and practicing sex outside of marriage. And that really is a shame.
Pastors, parents and schools should emphasize that cohabiting is a bad idea, and that it does not work toward buidling a stable marriage. Steve Harvey, the radio and television personality has had three marriages. But what is he telling his own daughters? He is telling them to get married first, based on his own experiences in cohabiting. Maybe Taylor Swift will give her own daughters and sons the same advice in the future; get married first before having sex, we hope.
Let’s now look at a more internal perspective on why not to have sex before marriage. In this show (The Richard Urban Show) we emphasize the Unification Principle point of view. Paramount is that we follow God’s plan for marriage. Anyone who created themselves, please raise your hand! You were ‘created’ by your parents, but really, you are created by God, working through the sexual union of your parents. In Genesis 1:28, we are told to ‘be fruitful, multiply and have dominion over creation’. To be fruitful means to unite your mind and body, centered on God to become a perfected individual. In light of this direction from God, at the sister site to Urban Life Training, UnionStation.love the motto is “Be the one to find the one”.
The current environment of dating sites has allowed psychopathic men to take advantage of women, who are the biggest losers in this culture of hook-up. God’s first blessing is individual perfection, and sexual abstinence before marriage is a big part of that. The second blessing is family perfection; a God-centered family consisting of a God-centered husband, wife and children. In the Unification Principle this is called the four-position foundation. A family or society that has formed the four-position foundation in line with God’s ideal is patterned after the image of a perfect individual. It this becomes the substantial object partner to the individual who lives in oneness with God, and consequently, it also becomes the substantial object partner to God.
The third blessing is the perfection of a human being’s dominion over the natural world; to fulfill this blessing, human beings and the natural world should become completely one, thereby establishing a God-centered four-position foundation of dominion. By fulfilling the three great blessings, we return joy to God.Watch Is Cohabitation a Good Way to Prepare for Marriage?

Stop the Decimation of Our Youth-Part 2
Here you can find out about the Urban Life Training Program. Read below for Part 1, featured in the June Urban Life Training Enews.
We highly encourage you to form a Chapter of Urban Life Training in your local area. Apply to be a Chapter here.
This is the formula for how we are helping youth and stopping them from being decimated. We have to teach them the importance of the “success formula”. The success formula is to:
1) Graduate from High School
2) Wait until age 21 and married before having children.
3) Get a full time job
Note: I would add, if you want to be a stay at hom mom, and your husband is employed, that definitely counts, too!
But many schools are facilitating gender indoctrination, where, according to YRBSS(Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System), 38 percent of high school girls identify as gay or lesbian, bisexual or other/questioning! This is the biggest crisis in society. Other things that are political are constantly going on, especially around corruption centering on misuse of funds. The real action centers on the family issue.
For instance, why aren’t many men working? There are many related issues, but arguably the biggest one is that if you don’t grow up with a mom and dad setting an example, you get off on to other paths of life.
As we mentioned in Part 1 of this article, most youth don’t know that if they want to be successful in life and relationships, they should not be cohabiting, and they don’t know about the success formula. By forming an Urban Life Training Chapter in your local area you can give out the message to youth that they must have. It is a type of child abuse to not give youth this type of life-saving information. People with other agendas are coming in, such as in Montgomery County, Md, but also many other places, and literally giving Kindergarten students transgender indoctrination. Let’s help all of our youth be successful!
Form a Chapter of Urban Life Training in your local community, and you can provide these services for schools that want them.
A sister site to Urban Life Training is UnionStation.love, a place where verified members who are staying abstinent or have returned to sexual abstinence before marriage are there. If you want to try a different approach, check out UnionStation.love.
Urban Life Training provides a successful and proven approach to guiding youth toward a successful life through abstaining from sex before marriage. In 1000 plus school districts, children can tell someone at school, such as the counselor, that they think they are something other than their actual gender, and that counselor will not tell you, as a parent.

Stop the Decimation of Our Youth-Part 1
All kinds of corruption in our society stem from the fall of man and from sexual corruption, which is related to the fall of man.
Basically all kinds of corruption stem from that and all kinds of decline stem from the decline of the family, the male, female, biological. Family of the married husband and wife and children, which now only 40% of youth are born within a married family. At our website, visionroot.org, you can study the Unification Principle.
But that doesn’t tell the whole story because the numbers are much higher: 68% in the black community and higher also in the Hispanic community. So that really needs to be dwelt on, and you don’t really hear about that. In fact, you even hear the opposite. An example is that Elon Musk had 13 or 14 children from four different women.
I know he was married before and had six children, but nonetheless, that’s hardly an ideal situation. We need to guide our youth to abstain before marriage. So let’s look at a couple of articles to get some facts on this issue here. We have an article by Stephanie Mann of SafeKidsNow.com on her website, Let’s Expose the Jackass Generation.
What she’s saying is that the Z generation often has a lack of understanding.
Here are some quotes from Stephanie Mann’s excellent article:
We have the jackass generation, which split away from mainstream Americans. These people with inflated egos blame others, have all the answers and don’t listen to other points of view.
Younger people lack a conscience as they loot, steal and shoot other people and commit criminal acts of violence against anyone who happens to be in their way. The jackass generation includes politicians and leaders who reject consequences for evil behavior. We need to start a media conversation on how to strengthen and support American families and neighbors with limited involvement of the police. Community responsibility for neighborhood safety can dramatically reduce crime, drugs, and violence and build trust as neighbors work together to keep families and children safe. Neighborhood involvement exposes crime, agency and police corruption. We, the people need to stop assuming that politicians and taxpayers money can save us in a democracy involves citizens create positive change in our communities.
The limited job of politicians is to write and pass laws as they spend taxpayers’ money, which often leads to corruption. “Integrity,
transparency in the fight against corruption have to be part of the culture. They have to be thought of as fundamental values”. Angel Gurria. OECD, Secretary General, Transparency International.
Bureaucrats seek to divide and control people’s behavior. They use “woke” intimidation to reduce freedom of speech and downplay the role of religion because people of faith don’t trust big government. When we trust our higher power, we can discover our inner ability to find solutions. That was the success of the greatest generation during World War II.
Two, the jackass generation is wagging the donkey. The question is, what are we the people willing to do to stop power hungry politicians from assuming control over freedom-loving Americans?
Read the full article here.
Here are several quotes from Marriage Isn’t Just a Piece of Paper.
Even as the American marriage rate has steadily declined, the cohabitation rate has steadily grown. According to 2019 Pew research study, more Americans have cohabited at some point than have married.
15 times more couples lived together outside marriage today than in 1960. In truth, cohabitation is a disastrous way to form a household ion x Pro-life Author Lila Rose highlight the facts about shacking up. According to research, couples who cohabitate before marriage are 48% more likely to divorce.
Cohabitation doesn’t set you up for success. It undermines the success of your marriage. So for those who are dating and in a relationship, build a strong foundation by growing together spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally. If this is the person God is calling you to marry, make the commitment first, get married, then build your home together.
Brad Wilcox is with the Institute for Family Studies. He reaffirmed that. He says, my students, which are at the University of Virginia, think cohabitation is a great way to prepare for marriage. But cohabitation is actually linked to marital failure. A Stanford study found the cohabiting with an extra partner, boosted women’s odds of divorce by three times.
Cohabitation fails to prepare people for marriage because it’s fundamentally unlike marriage. As Wilcox explained, cohabitation caused partners to adopt a less committed view of marriage, and this low commitment mentality makes them more vulnerable to marital dissolution.
Read the full article here.
When times get tough with our youth, being decimated by all kinds of indoctrination, throughout society and especially in public schools, is incumbent upon us as responsible citizens, parents, and people who care that we stop this decimation.
The decimation is because of the attack on the fundamental institution of the family. That means a man and a woman and children. The fact that the definition of what a family is would even be in question is basically insane.
Is a family two men or two women living together? No, I don’t think so. That’s not the way that God created the family. So what can we do about this? I’m into practical solutions and in 2003, my wife and I founded Urban Life Training. The full name is Urban Life Training & Reality Assessment Teen Choice. Or Ultra Teen Choice, which we call Urban Life Training for short.
Urban Life Training is a program to help you succeed.
