Excellent marriages are the bedrock of strong societies, for they are the structures of strong households. To lessen its value and destroy the institution of marriage in turn destroys society. Covenant marriage is devalued and seen as bondage. Cohabitation, casual sexual relationship and I can do bad by myself mentalities are on the rise and has weakened the very foundation of the family.
