I am always, always trying to read what people say, and to consider it as dispassionately as possible. It is, of course, a struggle. I have many stakes in this matter, on both sides of the equation.
I'm trying to continue to look at this from a social level--not just marriage, but what's happened to our culture since the 50s and 60s and 70s. I know I do not feel comfortable in what our culture has become, and I know the things that bother me: immodesty, and crudeness, and permissiveness, among other things. I may be too late to stem that tide, but at least I want to look at it and struggle to see it.
