It is heartwarming to read that this wonderful couple overcame the difficulties to achieve such a stellar marital record. But this couple, when in their teens they struggled together against the crushing poverty of the Great Depression, is hardly representative of the the typical teenage couple of today.
To contend that kids today have the same level of emotional maturity, a keen sense of self-sacrifice, and a similar commitment to personal responsibility is, on the whole, utter nonsense.
God bless this couple. My wife and I are at year 30 this month. I cannot imagine how bleak life would be without her by my side.
I disagree. There are 14 year old hothouse children but there are also 14 year olds who need to be out of school, working and coping with life. Stop trying to give everyone a cookie cutter life.
