The same love, compassion, devotion, understanding, and loyalty which exists between Christ and the Church, should exist between husband and wife, parents and children, and brothers and sisters in the Christian home. Therefore, every Christian home is a little church, a haven of domestic joy, a refuge from the stormy winds that trouble the sea of life, and a shrine where the members of the family purify their souls at the altar of prayer and thus renew their strength and courage for the daily tasks. It is sad indeed that many homes are far below God's standard, and are not the kind of a place just described. It seems that Satan is using every strategy, every means at his command to undermine and break down the home. More and more I am convinced that the fault lies directly in the home.
Parental responsibility is no longer in style.
Juvenile delinquency does not occur until adults first become delinquent. I do not look upon this situation simply as a juvenile delinquency problem. I think it is more properly described as adult delinquency, the failure of the mother and father to properly establish a home and take care of their children. The sanctity of the home and the marriage relationship is being treated far too lightly today. The United States is leading all Europe and the Americas in divorce.
