Marriage And Free Love: The Afrikan Crisis

Htp,

Eye wanted to build a little bit today about love, more precisely “free love”. Eye was thinking the other day about how we engage in relationships amongst each other, and thought eye would post my thoughts. When eye use the term “free love”, eye use it in the sense of a marriage replacement. This is what eye see the most of in the Western world. So can free love ruin the Afrikan community? Is it a problem? Well, marriage these days seems to be pushed to the side and its not that its defected, but simply because it entails certain responsibilities on both parties. Eye feel it is these responsibilities that plays a important role in the marriage union.

Marriage is to strengthen the ties of the natural love of the two mates, but it also requires them to share each other’s cares and sorrows; for human life has its cares and sorrows as well as its pleasures. “Free love” makes each of the mates selfish in the extreme because, while the male and female become each other’s partners in happiness, each is free to leave the other, uncared for, in his or her sorrow. Marriage again makes the two mates jointly responsible for the welfare of the children, but in “free love,” either the procreation of children is altogether avoided, and thus the end which nature has in view in the union of the male and and the female is defeated, or when either of the parents has had his or her satisfaction of the other, the children may be left without a shelter.

The institution of marriage is found in all countries and all nations, and has been practiced in every age for thousands of years and has worked to the advancement and welfare of humanity on the whole. Free love, if practiced on so large a scale for half a century, would bring much chaos in society as would destroy its very foundations. It may suit a few irresponsible, selfish persons who are the slaves of their passions, but there can be no spark of true love in a union which may end abruptly at the whim of either, and it can serve no useful purpose for humanity in general.

We must get back to the natural process and get back into our mind, and step out of the Western mind. We need to become responsible for each other to break the cycle of free love. This is why welfare and child support agencies are in business today, because a lack of responsibility and free love.
