One thing about me, when I
get an idea, I can't forget it.
Twice I've begun this column
this week, Twice I've scrapped
it. Thought I'd use a new
idea....,but I know now I must
follow my initial desires or die.
I'm that sort of creature.
The reason for my dilemma
is a release which came
through the mail the other day
from The United Church Ob-
server. From time to time, we
receive excerpts from articles
which have appeared in The
Observer. Of course, all are for
publication.
This one caused me par-
ticular concern, It bore the cat-
chline "Trend towards un-,
married couples not an isolated
aberration".,.and right away I
was on my ear,
I began to read on. The ar-
ticle told me that the new in-
crease in "coupling withbut
benefit of clergy" is part of a
completely different way young
people are looking at many,
many issues - birth control,
abortion, religion, wedding
rings, all ceremonies, the role
of women, child-rearing and
family communication.
The item continued: "The
United Church firmly believes
in marriage, for life. So do
nearly all its ministers. So. do
most of its families. But not all
their young people accept that
ideal. Some see the traditional
wedding, with its rituals and
symbols, as a Ken and Barbie
doll caricature of 'real
marriage. To them, the
ceremony neither makes them
married nor is it seen as a
beginning. It only confirms
what the couple has found, by
living together."
By this time I'm boiling mad,
To my way of thinking,
marriage is hardly an "ideal".
Marriage is the way it must be
done according to scriptures
and according to the laws of
the land. Marriage is the legal
way,..and the best way.
Don't overpower,
Know how to operate
and control your
craft.
Now hear me right, I'm not
pointing a finger at.anyone. I'm
not going to try to force my
views on folks who do not ac-
cept the Christian principles
I've come to respect, But it is
my contention that the church,
above all else, must fight to
preserve marriage. But listen to
what the writer says,
"The unrnarrieds interviewed
were all willing to be identified,
which in itself, he thought, was
a significant change hi attitude.
He foiled them happy and well-
balanced and concluded -
although he himself is married
that the rise of the unmarried
couple is a positive develop-
ment."
"The couple I know have
taught me a good deal," he
writes. "One lesson is that tran-
sitions in morality need not
rend families! they can be op-
portunities for growth."
How about that? A powerful
church publication is leaving
the impression for its readers
that while living together com-
mon law is not generally accep-
ted in the United Church, it is a
way of life for many people
today and we should not only
'accept it, but learn from those
truly „ intellectual people who
have risen above the old moral
codes and have proven that
shacking up can be beautiful.
If it was Ladies' Home Jour-
nal or Cosmopolitan that was
'pushing this philoosphy, I'd
hardly be concerned. But this is
a church magazine and
somehow it doesn't seem
proper for the church to be fin-
ding any satisfactory substitute
at all for marriage,
' The article concludes with
nine guidelines for moms and
dads who have children living
together without benefit of
clergy. They include such
things as try to understand and
don't judge; don't moralize;
stay in touch; give birth control
advice, if necessary, and some
practical gifts like a toaster;
and avoid the use of terms like
"common law" or "trial
marriage".
In other words, don't show
any disapproval but smile and
look at the bright side of things.
That's the modern way.
. Poppycock. Chances are if fet
parents and friends and the'
church had "disapprcived" of
many more things much, much
earlier, the problem (or is it a
problem?) wouldn't exist now.
I'm sorry folks. That's how I
feel.,..right or wrong.
