“I will never forget the quarrel between my parents when I was in the first grade. I was sitting in my pajamas, listening to them argue---I can’t even remember what it was about. And I remember thinking, “Are Mom and Dad going to get divorce?” Now, this was back in the early 1950s, when divorce was rare; it was hardly even talked about back then. If I had the fear at that age, what must the average first grader today feel? Kids today are surrounded by divorce….Few things can harden the heart of a child more than the divorce of his or her parents. Your kids need a mom and dad who are committed to each other.” (By Dennis and Barbara Rainey) Let me share with you a subscriber’s beautiful testimony: I have had the same fear when I was in grade school.

And more often than not, he’s drunk coming from friends get-together partie...
