A Laborer's View of the Changing Family
Recently the change in family dynamics has been startling. First off, my parents did not arrange a marriage for myself, I was allowed and encouraged to find a wife for myself. Even more satisfying was the fact that I was not pressured to find someone for financial gains, but rather for love as described by Gustav Droz. The effects of such a marriage, one that is full of love, is much happier, in comparison to the marriage of my parents' arranged marriage. Moreover, I am capable of supporting our family in way that allows my wife to stay at home manage the house, children, and general family finances. She cares for our four children dearly and I am very grateful for that. The only thing that greatly concerncs me is the rise in premarital sex and prostitution. I do not want our children, specifically our daughters, being exposed to the idea of illegitimate children, which has increased to an alarming number. Likewise, I do not want our boys being exposed to the option of prostitution. There is not much I can do but hope that our family values will guide them away from such devilish activity.
