Let's Celebrate the Bush Marriage: Anniversary Tribute

Let’s Celebrate the Bush Marriage posted 4/28/01

In the past years, the children and youth of America have been bombarded by an increasing number of sexual images and ideas not only in entertainment, but also in advertising and public discourse. The moral depravity of Bill Clinton's behavior has exacerbated the situation so much so that younger and younger children are now experimenting with sex. There has been an alarming increase in the number of cases of oral STD's among 12 and 13 year olds, and these same children when asked, thanks to the example of Clinton, say that they have not had sex. Public discussion has coarsened significantly, so that we hear about oral sex and cigars, and yet we still hear very little about the right kind of sex, that is within marriage.

And now onto the stage walk the honor and dignity of George and Laura Bush, who have a marriage that is obviously filled with love, affection, and vibrancy, and who have chosen the path of morality and fidelity to each other. They are clearly the role models that our youth so desperately need in this sordid world. Kids now know all the details about sex, but most of them have no clue as to its depth and meaning. They see sexual experiences on the screen 99% of which involve unmarried people. They believe that it is unmarried sex which is the norm, even though statistics prove that it is happily married couples who have the most satisfying and most frequent sex , (and when the spiritual dimension is added, it truly becomes what God created it to be).

I may be climbing out onto a limb here, but I believe that we as parents and teachers, and as Christians, have an opportunity to help guide our kids toward the path of morality by using the First Couple as a positive example, not only because of their character, but because of their strong and loving marriage. Bill Bennett, compiler of the Book of Virtues, said in his evaluation of Bush's first 100 days that it was refreshing to have a President who kisses his wife goodnight, and then goes to bed with her!!

Perhaps we, who believe strongly in Biblical morality should be more vocal about married love of this kind. Scripture is obviously not shy in its discussion of the pleasures of sex within marriage, and perhaps we shouldn't be either. I believe we should be celebrating the marriage of George and Laura Bush as an example of what out kids should have as the goal, and not be afraid to tell them why.

It is a labor of love!! I am so thrilled to have this honorable, dignified, wonderful, and madly-in-love-with-each-other couple in the White House, that I'm still pinching myself to see if I'm dreaming!

Thank you so very much for this tribute to our wonderful First Couple! There are pictures here that I have never seen! I love them both so much, just as you do. I hope they have had a wonderful weekend celebrating Laura's birthday and their anniversary. And I hope our President spent some ummmm....."quality time" with his beautiful wife - with the week that he has this week, he will need it. :-)

The thing that has always struck me about these two people is they seem REAL. They connect with people on a personal level. You look at the pictures posted on this thread and they look real(unlike a certain former president and jr.senator), if these are set-up photo-ops who ever did is GOOD, I mean real GOOD, because they don't look that way.

Ain't it grand?! It's like God gave us a wonderful gift. I've just been *savoring* all the posts and pictures tonight! The picture in Number 146 is my absolute favorite photo of George W. and Laura!

Was it an accidental click, or are you maybe just being a spoilsport? wink wink!

It's like God gave us a wonderful gift

I am reminded of the verse in Genesis that says God gave Adam a help "meet". Many people think that verse means "help-mate", but it really is help-meet. Meaning a partner that is fit, equal, etc. Laura is certainly all that and more, and we Americans are fortunate to have such a couple as our leaders, especially at this time. They are always touching or gazing at each other lovingly, from the early pictures to the most recent. No "photo-op" poses for them. Just genuine love and affection that is so refreshing, and as otherts have said, a real example for all of us. God bless President and First Lady Bush on their anniversary, and may they never lose that glowing happiness with each other that shines like a beacon for others to follow.
