Subject: A New Paradigm – Partners – in a Newly Structured Socio-Economic Framework<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n

Our socio-economic model of how a family spends its time and meets its needs – really – is terribly outdated and out of whack!<\/b><\/p>\n

\n

No wonder the divorce rate has skyrocketed and our children are more and more withdrawn … . Consider these numbers:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a typical nuclear family <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A man works 40 – 80+ hours – outside the home, buried under stress;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

A woman works 40 – 80+ Hours in and outside the home. <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Each become isolated in their roles …\u00a0 their lives get out of sync<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

… all these converging forces (and more) have worked to sink the family unit<\/span><\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Divorce, and worse, has spread like cancers across the country.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That gives way to a broken system – not marriage, it is not broken, nor is the concept of the natural family unit …but the entire socio- economic paradigm of old is broken and it has beaten down the natural family like a hammer.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I have a suggestion … .<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A New Paradigm – Partners – in a Newly Structured Socio-Economic Framework<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our economy no longer needs a man or woman at work for \u00a08-12 hours a day and 5,6, & 7 days a week. That schedule is pure greed and nonsense – it was a result of unique economic times that no longer exist.<\/b> A man, in the right economy, ought to easily earn enough dollars to support a family, and plan for the future – with decreased hours on the job [whatever the job is<\/b>] … . Period<\/u><\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let’s move to half those hours, half those days … and let people live their lives!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This simple, possible, change will allow for men to turn greatly needed mental and physical energies – toward their family, their wives, and children. I cannot see how any thinking man or woman in the 21st century would not agree and support this notion. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, it can be structured so that ‘business’ doesn’t take too big a ‘hit’ in profit; productivity can remain high. It’s really a practical and plausible idea.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It won’t change the world, but it seems wise to provide the means for a man to be more of a partner in the fullness of his family – not just a ‘bread winner’; a new paradigm [even if you don’t like my example] can allow men to invest so much more time in their families!<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly, some have lost sight of the value, for all society, of the family in the normal and traditional sense; after all, it did build this country <\/span><\/b>[and most of the world].<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Men and women no longer need to work sun up to sun down to feed their family; it’s just a fact [here in the U.S.]. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I believe there is great benefit for our Country in taking a step back to re-examine our needs verses our values in this new world, and recognize that we can greatly benefit from rebuilding, strengthening, the nuclear family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s time to allow husbands and wives \u00a0– the time – to be better parents, and the children to experience that blessing … \u00a0it’s time to allow (again) women the time to be better wives and mothers … for men to be better husbands and fathers – … it’s time to strengthen the most important and precious miracles we have in this world – our families.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rest will fall into place.<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m just sayin’ … .<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
