Our Family Life Stinks! - Garner Ted Armstrong - February 1977

Garner Ted Armstrong

Something sinister is happening to the institution of the family and the home in the United States and throughout the Western world. The traditional structure of the family - the basic building block of a strong society - is being systematically destroyed! And we'd better wake up to the consequences! The watchwords of the American home used to be terms such as permanence, stability, security. Father was the head of the home, the breadwinner, the wage earner. Mother was at home caring for the children and managing the house - and happy and proud of her role. But in this day of women's" liberation" and changing sex roles, father, frequently, no longer assumes his dominant position , one upon whom the other family members depend. Mother, in addition, has left the home to seek " fulfillment" through a job of her own. "But what's wrong with that?" many ask. "What difference does it make? Who's getting hurt?" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
