I have been married 2 years (together 6), and am just now realizing that there's nothing wrong with planning things, & trying to not be disappointed when my DH doesn't "read my mind", and know that I want date night to be Tuesday night (for example)! Thanks for explaining this situation so well, and in such a way that it takes away any negative stigma! This is too true!

We chose to homeschool and now have 7 children, 4 of which are teenagers aged 19, 17, 15, and 14. We were very intentional in our "brain-washing" and teaching them that the Bible has an opinion on all things. NOW, they are very challenged by the teens around them, even by the youth leaders. Our oldest went to a Christian college and was the ONLY ONE who thought off-color jokes were wrong. So proud of her when she quoted to them Phil. 4 :D YES....God does have opinions, even about our entertainment. I'm not so sure God cares that we are entertained anyway.....we sure waste alot of time on entertainment. I can see my girl making a difference where she is now, this is her second year, but it has been a HUGE struggle and at first she was totally dismissed b/c she had been homeschooled. The poor kid was just so "sheltered". Not really, we talked about EVERYTHING, just appropriately and in context. We are praying she can start a revolution where she is now....I prayed that over each of our children, that God would help them turn their world (realm of influence) "upside down" daily when they were tiny. Working it out is hard sometimes, but it CAN be done. THANKS for encouraging this on the adult side, we gotta get behind these kids and pay attention. We gotta train them better, teach them to search the Word, to look for who or what influence in behind things. Satan has a plan and is always working, I am amazed at the things I see in even children's programming.....veiled influences and ideas....seeping garbage into little ones minds. Adults gotta be the adults and pay attention! Give these teens permission to "rebel" against all that is "acceptable"............GO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! Go teens go, in the strength of God and be a Gideon....though your army is small, fight in name of the Lord and you will prevail. Be strong and courageous, unafraid to do what is right :D I appreciate you challenging people to THINK Biblically.

(My daughter's name means pure, and beauty.) Morality has to be from God. If I had stood on God's authority of right and wrong instead of my agnostic and generic "do no harm", I don't think I would have made the mistakes I made in my past. I am concerned about a lack of good role models. However, do role models bring people to Christ and knowing how much God loves us? God's way is best, and as our Father, He wants His best for us. If I stand today as Christ's servant, I would not want my kids caught up in a rebellion that condemns parents as spiritually cold and clueless. I agree that rebellion should be against impurity, immorality, materialism, and all other traps our enemy uses. I am a Gen-Xer. Anyone willing to forgive me and lead me in God's goodness, I'll accept (with discernment). Could our children be encouraged to stand up for the Truth in hopes of eventual reconciliation for parents who have gone astray? The tone of your article does seems harsh, but I do consider you as compassionate. Please do not give up hope. Maybe we will see a day when Chistians of all ages are unified in the understanding of God's grace. I agree that we need a generation that values purity and morality.

My husband and I got married under two years ago at the ages of 20 and 21. Before the wedding, it was so disheartening to hear people (including my mom) tell us we were doing the wrong thing, when we knew we were following God's plans for our lives. I was so tired of the older generation telling me, "You're too young," or "Well, I guess you're getting the first one over with early." I mean, seriously? Why would I marry the "first one"? What's wrong with this world and the concept of "the only one" these days? Anyway, you're article is great, and I truly appreciate you and other adults telling kids that marriage is actually a good thing. It's ok to marry your best friend and grow old together. It's beneficial to go to school while married. I'm proud to be a revolution starter. I have said, "You won't pay for college? I'll go anyway." "You won't go to the wedding? Well, if you decide to come, I'll be the one in white." I'll admit that rebellion sucked. I planned the colors, the flowers, tried on the dress, and attended the bridal shower all without my mom. Finally though, my good example paid off, and she reconciled with God, and made it to the wedding with approval. But rebellion was worth it. Getting married was the best decision I've ever made! This article is perfect!
