Higher Divorce Rates and Better pre-Marital Counseling in Texas and Islam

The Texas House and SenateJust_a_bill both passed a new law titled...

                Healthy Marriage Bill

 


They had initially set up the bill to require that those who would like to get a marriage license from the state would have had to attend mandatory counseling prior to marriage or pay an extra fee for the license.
The bill later passed without the additional fees and the eight-hour course is no longer required.

Yet the idea is still dramatic. In Muslims communities all over the country the divorce rates are changing. Just last night I was at a diner where some of the attendees were discussing how we can prevent or stem the rapid increase in divorce in the US Muslim Community .

It is up to the religious community and the churches to create better support systems for the people. Part of the problem with the bill was the idea that government would have so much involvement in the very personal decision of who one gets married to. Many people believe that government would be intruding into the personal lives of it's citizens and there are grave privacy concerns. 

"It`s not up to government to help figure out if you`re marrying the right woman or the right man" says State Representative Pete Gallego of Alpine.

These are interesting concepts especially in light of the current debate over abortion among republicans Presidential candidates. We all watched as many of the republican candidates spoke up on the abortion issue in favor of the pro life decision.

Rudy Giuliani had a hard time keeping his Pro-Choice stance while maintaining that the focus should be on preventing abortion and increasing adoption. Yet traditionally, to get the Republican nomination it is well known that you must be Pro-Life. This is why some accuse Mitt Romney of flip flopping on abortion. Giuliani did try to throw in a Libertarian streak to suggest that it is not the government's job to interfere with the choice of a woman. That is not the America we live in. The country we want to have has to respect the views of others.

Giuliani's somewhat enlightened views did not go over well with the crowds in South Carolina in the Second Republican Debate.

Even though we may not want the government to intrude in our personal lives, the cause of helping couples keep their families intact is a noble one. Family Values should not be an exclusively Christian value but something that is encourage amongst Muslims, Jews and many other faiths. 

Divorce is a problem with people of all faiths. Divorce has become too common.

The War in Iraq on Drugs, Recruiters Help Soldiers pass Drug Tests

Drug_test_armyThe War in Iraq on Drugs !

Recruiter coaching new recruits to pass drug test, in an effort to WEED in more soldiers.

Recruiter:
"Here's how it works, to save you from like getting in trouble, and to cover us. We give you one here in the office. We will not send you down to MEPS to take a physical or to join the Army if you did not pass the one we have in the office. We would not. It is out of the question. We tell you to come back every week. We would have you come back every week on a certain day and keep taking it until you pass and once you pass then we would send you down. Say, we didn't have the ability to, say, if you were take one right now and you fail, it doesn't go to nobody. It doesn't disqualify you from no job [because] it's official, but unofficial, you know what I am saying? Nobody knows that but my station commander and me."Super_silver_haze

Colonel Robert Manning: "We should not be coaching and teaching potential applicants how to get around the test, that's clearly wrong."

Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show": "Did you hear the Army's newest recruiting slogan? This war's so bad, you gotta be on drugs to enlist!" 

If the army does not have a problem letting in recruits that may have a questionable drug history, why not change our attitude on the actual War on Drugs. The War on Drugs as a campaign has been such a waste of money and caused so much trouble in our court system.

Double standards.

Billboard of Life's Short Get a Divorce Test in Islam

Get a Divorce

HotConflict.com Covers the Advertising Campaign of law firms trying to sell sex with Divorce. Christian conservatives and Islam agree with sanctity of marriage.

Legal world should discourage these ads. New marketing and sex always sells.

The ads were eventually taken down. At least there is still a little common decency in this country. Just because divorce is allowed does not mean it should be encouraged.
