The Bedrock For Wedlock

Some people would like to leave open the "lock" in wedlock. The vows "for better or for worse . . . till death us do part" sound too risky.

A Gallup Poll revealed that 95 percent of Americans consider marriage and family life to be very important to them.

At the beginning of this new year, many newspapers and magazines will publish a list of notable people and celebrities who died during the previous 12 months. The name of a person we admired may stir up memories that touch us in a special way.
