Mother's Day

U.S. Women are waiting longer to marry (average age 27 years) and begin having children (3 years after marriage). Two-thirds of married mothers work outside the home (more than double 1960 standards). Pressure for mom to work springs in part from the rising cost of raising the American child, now standing a $234,000. Family size is declining on account of high child-rearing costs, growing preference for self-supporting single life (50%), electing separation & divorce instead of solving marriage relationship problems (45%), and dislocation of turmoiled children from family living (1 million/year). When young women are not given the security of marriage, abortions proliferate. Non-marital teen sex is a death sentence for a conceived child one-third of the time. Incidence of Americans choosing to marry has declined 31% since 1960. The institution of marriage in the U.S. has decayed to the point of 8-year survival and 45% failure rate. Women initiate 80% of the divorces. The birth rate has been falling for a century to less than half (42%) the American Family tradition. Fruitful American Culture is vanishing with the decline of marriage; rise of divorce; increase in abortions among unmarried women; and retreat to lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transsexual (LGBT) relationships. Modern sexual culture is producing women unwilling or unable to maintain a fidelitous love relationship with a man. Declining male-female bonding is fueling meanness and a significant shift to LGBT orientations (vaguely estimated 16% incidence and growing 4% annually), another way society does not reproduce itself or preserve cultural integrity. Sex outside of marriage is bringing a 10-fold rise in sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) since 1960, with youth the most frequent victim (50% of all new cases). Consequences to females include loss of fertility, exclusion from marriage, soaring health cost, social alienation, and unhappiness. Loveless sex and singleton lifestyles are driving women (and men) into substance abuse to find replacement highs. One-fourth of high schoolers already have life-limiting dependency problems. In the drug-dependent general population (estimated at 10%), over 200,000 drug-related deaths occur annually. Potent, hi-tech drugs do not yield a stable lifestyle, but set users on a bi-polar course to job loss, health loss, social rejection, depression, and life loss.

Restoring the American woman as a non-working, non-competing dependent of a beloved working American man (the Marriage Model), and establishing a Spiritually-enriched socio-economic context for earlier courtship and marriage can relieve ALL the multiplying adverse consequences reviewed above. The pay-for-itself Millennial Estate described elsewhere on the GESPST website affords a practical pathway to Young Love & Marriage if couples prepare early for self-sufficient, family-centered, home-centered living AND receive societal cooperation towards this positive lifestyle shift. Focus is on the female in this pivotal choice, since her refined beauty and modern sexual liberality pretty much assures the educated woman complete success in replacing men within today’s easy-work, easy-living Knowledge Society. To engage Millennial Estate living, she must WANT TO walk away from competing with men (the rising burdens cited above might be regarded as incentives for that choice), and choose the humbler, non-commercial path of dependency as a faithful, beloved wife and mother embracing home-centered living. A society promoting the Christian Marriage Model affords loving wives total lifetime care: the world’s best roof over her head; furnishings of highest creature comfort; unwavering food abundance; gorgeous climate-suited clothing; and beautiful children.

Uplifting Spiritual support for changing course towards younger marriage may be found on the Music Page. Mothers and mothers-to-be are encouraged to give a listen to “Younger Mama” and peruse the Music Vision. A half-century ago, song writers began using the word “Mama” in songs to address and press the unmarried girl in various directions [e.g., Crazy Little Mama (At My Front Door), Who Loves You (Pretty Mama), Black Water]. Today, giving the “Younger Mama” an angelic invitation back to home and family, true love and security, could heal a lot of hurts and make Mother’s Day a reviving, world-wide love story with only happy endings. The Millennial Estate design for home-centered, self-sufficient, family living, also found on the gespst.com website, might be just the ticket younger America needs to early, real love. God is love. Living close to Him (walking in the Spirit) brings matchless joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, unity, harmony, healing, comfort, predictability, and eternal pleasures. Drift or pull away from your Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and Lord, and life becomes divisive, mean, anxious, unhealthy, uncomfortable, and too soon terminal. Elevate and celebrate your heavenly parent and sovereign of the mind, God the Father, and motherhood will recompose upon the lasting Sweet Spot of Life: women blessing and being blessed every day, all the time. Happy Mother’s Day!
