It's official. Well, in Britain anyway.

Couples who ‘live together' are four times more likely to split up than married couples.
I guessed it was more. I thought it might be double. But four times more likely even shocks me. It's also happening right here in New Zealand and is costing the country a fortune.

The Welfare bill is more than $25 billion annually.

It's also costing our kids their most important & stable of relationships, with their parents. We also have schools feeding kids with one-in-four being brought up in poverty.
Surely something has to be done. We're tearing ourselves apart.

The family is the most important ingredient in any stable society. We need to care more about each other, not just ourselves. We're living in an i-world and it isn't working.
Caring for others is the key.

Please, do your part.
