 Response to "Remarriage"
by: Lee Baucom

You don't say how old your children are, how long you have been widowed, and why you do not believe your children can fit into another family situation. That makes it difficult to advise on your particular situation.

So, let me take this opportunity to step up onto my soapbox! I see many families, way too many, that are ruled by the children. Don't get me wrong: children are a blessing from God. But we are raising a generation of children who are narcissistic. They believe their feelings should rule the family.

I watch intact families let their marriage drop to the side because of playing the role of parents. So, let me be clear: The PRIMARY relationship of any home is the marriage. Where the marriage goes, the family goes.

So, if you are allowing your children to dictate whether you should marry or not, that is not their decision! If they have LEGITIMATE concerns about someone you are considering as a spouse, then listen. But you are the one who gets to make that decision.

Let me push my soapbox one step further: if we raise children as the center of life, they become narcissists, expecting the world to bow to them. If we raise children in a home where the central relationship is the marriage, they will go and create a family in the same way. This generation risks making our children into idols. God must be the center of the family, with the marriage the central relationship.

And now, I am stepping off my soapbox!

Blessings to you.
