Uncoupling?

This came across my desk today and I thought it was worth sharing with you.

Conscious Uncoupling From today’s NY Times Style section j0341738( http://tinyurl.com/lsjdmd8)— and appearing all across the country like in this AP article ( ttp://tinyurl.com/lnyaw4y) — comes the latest way to rationalize marital failure.

You may want to read the articles and the excellent comments by Michele Weiner-Davis (http://tinyurl.com/lzxwlkc)  The AP article goes into deeper rationalizations (humans used to die earlier, so we should expect two to three marriages in our, now, longer lives).  This faulty reasoning has raised it’s head before.  

 

From the David Popenoe Top Ten Myths of Marriage paper:
Myth #6.   People can’t be expected to stay in a marriage for a lifetime as they did in the past because we live so much longer today. Unless our comparison goes back a hundred years, there is no basis for this belief.

Really?  No basis for this belief?  Not in my books.  But of course, I’m looking at this from a Biblical standpoint not from a worldview.

Grace and peace,

Penny
