Daddy, I Want to Get Married!

What Fathers Can Do to Help their Daughters Get Married
With the nuclear family now making up less than half of American households, there are still a few of us pulling for our children getting married and forming more “nuclear families.” But how are our daughters getting married? At one time, they would attend college to get the M.R.S. degree. But that isn’t happening as much as it used to in the 1970’s and 1980’s. So now what?
What is a father’s role in his daughter’s life after she graduates from high school? And how do we create a social situation in which our daughters would be likely to marry the right person? Again, the Generations program addresses some of the most critical issues relating to the transitioning of our sons and daughters into adult life.

Hard Core Parenting vs. Biblical Parenting
A virtual war is in progress over two perspectives of parenting in the columns of the Wall Street Journal. The Chinese Dragon Mothers insist on their children making their parents proud. And if they shame their parents, somebody’s going to pay, pay, and pay some more. Parental pride trumps love. Then you have the softy permissive Western parents who don’t love their children enough to hold them to anything. So who has more love for their kids? Which will corrupt their society faster?

The College ScamAnother housing bubble burst seems immanent in 2011. But the big bubble soon to burst is the college bubble, according to the National Inflation Association. Still the most over-priced and over-rated product on the market, college fees have increased five-times over the rate of inflation since the 1980’s. Will more college graduates and university professors be bucking for work at McDonalds? “Will that be paper or plastic, Ma’am?” In the wake of the present readjustments in the economy, Kevin Swanson finds this a perfect opportunity to rethink post K-12 education for our children.
