“…[A]s long as a man is thinking of God as an
Examiner who has set him a sort of paper to do, or as the opposite party in a
sort of bargain — as long as he is thinking of claims and counterclaims between
himself and God–he is not yet in the right relation to Him. He is
misunderstanding what he is and what God is. And he cannot get into the right
relation until he has discovered the fact of our bankruptcy.” –C.S. Lewis
“At Rutgers University, researchers with the National Marriage Project have
published a report called ‘Why Men Won�t Commit: Exploring Young Men�s Attitudes
about Sex, Dating, and Marriage.’ The study offers the top ten reasons men are
reluctant to say, ‘I do.’ Among them: They can get all the sex they want without
marriage. They want to enjoy the single life as long as possible. They want
avoid the financial pitfalls of divorce. And they�re afraid marriage will demand
too many changes and compromises. … Modern women have far more freedom of
movement than their sisters in the ancient world. But human nature is still
fallen. This means that men are as predatory as ever — and women today are
paying the price for it in a culture that doesn’t demand marriage.” –Chuck
Colson
