But this beautiful institution has been trampled under foot by blind people who, either do not know, or simply ignore the rules of God and make light of marriage. In this age it has been reduced to a farce or a joke by many. People in the world are copulating like animals. It is no longer a disgrace in our society for girls and women to bear children out of wedlock. Many people accept it and others openly admit it with no hint of shame or embarrassment.
Virginity is ridiculed, and millions of babies are destroyed through abortion every year.
These evil activities are not confined to heathens in barbarian nations, but are rampant among those who call themselves civilized. Even in the church of our Lord Jesus Christ there are some who are guilty of these same evils. Some deny there is anything wrong with an unmarried couple cohabiting. They want the joys and benefits of marriage without the commitment. And such practices are just as wrong now as they were when their sin was first revealed by inspiration.
