What Matters Most

With all the talk recently about banning guns, or "assault weapons" as they like to call them. It's got me to thinking about "What Matters Most" to us, as Americans, Christians, and even to God.  I look at my facebook wall and I see 90% of my friends posting daily about the current ban on guns being proposed and I see the excitement and dedication they are to upholding their rights and fighting against this possible new law.

Why did we not fight like this to ban divorces, or make it harder and place limits on divorce criteria?  Is it because we just dont care about the family?  God ordained the home first, and marriage between man and woman to last forever..  All of us that are married, or have been in the past took those same vows till death do us depart yet 70% of couples who married within the past decade are already divorced or will be before their 10th anniversary.  SHOCKING?  Thinking back to my recent divorce I see just how easy it is for one to want out and file the papers and just 30 days later it is final.  Doesn't really matter what the other person wants, or that he/she truly loves the other.  Honestly, I find it heart sickening, that people could split up a home, especially when there are children involved and make the children go daily without both of their parents in their day to day lives.  No matter what you think, or how easy you try to make it on the children, they see the truth, and will usually resent the parent who walked away, and the children now have a time share with their parents..

So, I am announcing my stand, and my support to marriage, and to ban divorce.  What are your thoughts, opinions, on this topic?
