We live in an entertainment-based world. As people we need mystery, novelty and excitement in our lives. Most people will tell you they strongly desire stability in a relationship to feel safe and secure. However, in reality, there's no adventure in this! Is it any wonder that most married couples spend an average of seven-minutes or less a day talking? How can anything worthwhile be maintained or resolved in seven minutes a day or less? The answer is evident. It cannot.

We live in a completely different world than has ever previously existed. Today we need drama, we need novelty, and we need special effects! Although commonsense tells us that the ideal relationship should offer stability, such stability comes at the price of predictability, which is boring.

This is why it shouldn't be any surprise that so many young women, although they aspire for one thing, ultimately pursue the exact opposite. That is, relationships of high adventure where there’s a plethora of mystery and very little predictability from day-to-day. Why settle for "what you see is what you get" when you could have dark and mysterious?

We live in a world of lifestyle obsession that promotes isolation through entertainment. Computers, videogames, and 800+ satellite channels. With all that's available, when's there time or need for people?

We work long hours to pay for things we don't need and then come home and spend most of our time alone entertaining ourselves as individuals. When is there time for the people in our lives? And then how much time will the people we love have for us?

We're de-evolving as people. Morals and social values are becoming extinct. Divorce used to be a great tragedy... now it's socially accepted as “typical” and even worse is often actively encouraged by the liberal media as a contemporary means necessary toward obtaining a media driven ideal of "individual happiness." Individual freedom and isolation are quickly becoming synonymous.

We're a socially sedentary, technological species. Children today are not developing critical social skills necessary to interact interpersonally with others in our fast paced, no touch world. Even if parents somehow manage to stay together, more often than not, they’re so obsessed with their own individual pursuits that they simply cannot find the time to spare for anyone else... especially those most important who need their attention most.

"Here, have a Playstation 3, an XBOX 360, and this cutting edge computer. Now, leave me be! Go to your room and play a videogame, make a MySpace page, or text message your friends... I'm busy right now."

So often lost in total self-involvement, we abandon and orphan our children to the great peril of a wilderness for which they are ill-prepared...
