Family values continue to gain ground in the business paper The Wall Street Journal. For example, it was recently reported that married men commit far less violence toward their spouses than single and divorced men commit toward women they’re involved with. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that unmarried, pregnant women are four times more likely to be abused by their boyfriends than married, pregnant women are by their husbands. A stable marriage in which both natural parents are present also means a safer environment for the children.

    The Journal goes on to say that the place to start is with the individual. You change the man, you change the family. You change the family, you change the community. You change the community, you change the nation.

    By the way, changing people is what God’s power is all about!
