The decline of marriage among the younger generation is a “natural byproduct of a culture that says let’s put God on the shelf, let’s remake Him in our image, if we allow Him to come around,” said Dr. Ray Guarendi, “a Catholic father of ten adopted children, a clinical psychologist, author, professional speaker, and national radio and television host,” as described on his website, drray.com. He is the author of many books, including the recently published, “Raising Upright Kids in an Upside-Down World: Defying the Anti-Parent Culture.”
As a parent, “you do need to be fearless, you cannot parent in anxiety,” said Guarendi. “You can’t do it. You won’t be able to make the decisions you need to make because you’ll be attacked, assaulted, critiqued as a Neanderthal throwback, out of touch, your kids are going to get resentful, they’re going to rebel, they’re going to hate you, etc.”
