"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
2 Timothy 3:1-5
I have to say that that's the main thing I thought of after reading the article on Yahoo about how "Some married couples would pay thousands of dollars more for the same health insurance coverage as unmarried people living together, under the health insurance overhaul plan pending in Congress."
All I can help but think is that this is one of those ways that the world is being corrupted and people are being encouraged to cohabitate instead of choosing to be married. I mean, if it weren't for the glamor of weddings, is there really any incentive for most people to get married?
I discount, of course, people like myself who consider marriage a vital part of my own future. But I was raised to consider marriage a vital part of the future——I just can't exactly imagine a future without marriage. And I swear, I'm not crazy or brainwashed to think this way... I just know where to find the greatest, truest sort of happiness in life, that's all. (And really, for those of you who'd dare oppose me, what things in life can even come close to bringing as much happiness as marriage and families?)
But back to my main point ... isn't this just another excuse for people to be "lovers of their own selves" and "lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God"?
I kinda think so. :(
