VIII. Divorce popularized in the 1970’s Mary Tyler Moore is exactly the propaganda show Wilcox suggests, my opinion. Ted & I finished watching the entire 7 episodes. Marriage is portrayed poorly, boringly, dead-end. Murray looks he pecked and bedraggled. His one excitement was his emotional affair. Lou gets divorced after 24 years of marriage because his wife wants to experience something which I never quite got the gist of, and she ends up remarried within a short time. Ted Baxter & Georgette don’t inspire anyone to the married life. But Mary, single, thin Mary she makes the day interesting and happy. The Mary Tyler Moore Show is propaganda for easy divorce and single life nicely wrapped up in comedy and big hair.
Few children in the show.
- Thesis Statement
In writing Get Married, my aim is not to argue that everyone should put a ring on it. Not everyone can or should marry. Nor stay married. But for most of us, getting married and forging a strong family is the best way to build a prosperous, meaningful, and happy life- and a way that needs a lot more guidance and support from the culture and law than it is now garnering.[1]
Married people are happier and more prosperous than unmarried people.[2]
Lie any variation of family by calling a family. Have same words but reality not conveyed.
Bench markers
High school degree
Don’t live together before or premarital sex
Those two indicators
Have children after the vows
Statistically impossibility to live in poverty
Covid lifted the curtain of the great Oz. Ridiculous protests of campuses. Parents becoming savvy.
God calls a people a state in life that should be acted upon. Get about it. God gives graces to state in life. Don’t fritter away useless years.
