The Me-Centered Family

The lead in a recent Washington Post article paints a disturbing
picture: "Children rank as the highest source of personal fulfillment
for their parents but have dropped to one of the least-cited factors
in a successful marriage, according to a national survey."

What's the matter with that sentence? Too much to unpack entirely
in a few minutes, but let's zero in on those two enticing words:
"personal fulfillment." The emphasis on that idea tells us a lot
about what's really wrong with marriage and family today.
