The Family Barriers...

I think it's interesting to notice that the media has done a great job of avoiding telling about the issue of same sex marriage. Because when we talk about barriers for the family, there's really nothing out there that shows how the world supports the family, except for those who have deeply rooted in their trust in God.
This is where the family is at the center and its barriers include, faith, commitment to spouse and children, service to others, etc. While divorce is the outward influence that tends to break through these barriers, and adultery, contention in marriage, etc.
Interesting observation by brother Williams, he said "Gay people's objective is not to get marry- their objective is to destroy it."
He also talks about the four Ballast Qualities such as:

-Response-ability; opportunity and challenges
-Cooperation
-Respect
-Courage; "taking a known Risk for a known Outcome" (Michael Williams).

In class brother Williams also related a conversation he had with the local judge about the divorce cases with students and he says, "the judge simply reply, 'their reply was it's just not fun anymore' and that is the common case." People now days do not have the courage and the desire to work hard to rebuild or make corrections in their marriage.
