Wow!

Read this article on Marriage:

Marriage weathers icy blasts

"Regardless of Hollywood pessimism, a generation that has felt first-hand the effects of marriage breakdown and instability is embracing the institution afresh.

"Instinctively they know the truth of what C.S. Lewis wrote in Mere Christianity:


''If you decide to make thrills your regular diet and try to prolong them artificially, they will all get weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer, and you will be a bored, disillusioned person for the rest of your life. It is because so few people understand this that you find many middle-aged men and women maundering about their lost youth, at the very age when new horizons ought to be appearing and new doors opening all round them.''

I really enjoy C.S Lewis's writing, I check out his books regularly at the library.
