The selfless giving and teamwork that accompanies a healthy marriage transform us into more complete, and ultimately fulfilled, persons. We confine ourselves as women if we limit our focus to materialistic and job-related success. There is a whole extraordinary world inside family life, one that cannot be ignored or re-engineered. We are selling ourselves and our daughters short if we seek swinging single lives at the cost of marriage and family. Let's be honest with our single friends and our daughters.
Marriage is rewarding.
Marriage is good for children. Marriage is good for society. And, marriage is good for women. Amy Desai is the marriage and family research analyst in the Department of Legislative and Cultural Affairs at Focus on the Family, a Christian ministry based in Colorado Springs. Focus on the Family.
