My parents were married over 50 years - as were the parents of many of my friends in the extended LEO family I grew up in.

Guess your quivering peers didn’t have those sort of role models.

The decisions you make determine your character - DEAL WITH IT.

That, then, would be YOUR generation that failed to BE those sorts of role models.
You have affirmed the accusation.

As do your actions your own character.

Proverbs 14:31
Those who oppress the poor insult their Maker, but those who are kind to the needy honor him.

Matthew 18:23-35 -— (The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant)
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. When he began the reckoning, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him; and, as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold, together with his wife and children and all his possessions, and payment to be made. So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ And out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt. But that same slave, as he went out, came upon one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him by the throat, he said, ‘Pay what you owe.’ Then his fellow slave fell down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you.’ But he refused; then he went and threw him into prison until he would pay the debt. When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to him, ‘You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I had mercy on you?’ And in anger his lord handed him over to be tortured until he would pay his entire debt. So my heavenly Father will also do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

I’ve seen nothing in you of compassion, or encouragement, or kindness towards the millennials, even though you are quick to find fault, exposing their [morally/spiritually] poor nature and proclaiming your own [self-]righteousness; why do you insult God? Why do you fail to show the very mercy you have been shown?
