People are better off married. That doesn t mean, Gallagher adds, that your life is not worth living if you are not married. Maybe it s something that you are still looking for, or maybe you are concerned about the marriage of your children, or your siblings. Gallagher admits that many people are not divorced by their own choice. We live in a culture and a society where it only takes one person to divorce, she adds.
Life is difficult for single mothers.
According to Gallagher, the marriage movement is not about married people patting themselves on the back and saying how wonderful they are. It s about men and women, who treasure the marriage bond and live up to their marriage vows, she says. It s not a sin not be married, Gallagher adds. We re all better off, though, if we live in a society where people care about and support marriage, and try to transmit a healthy, and better marriage culture to our children. We wanted to know what Gallagher s thoughts were for those whose marriage is in trouble, but their partner is not willing to save it.
