RE: "The gift of marriage and family remains a bulwark against the encroachments of a negative culture."

Provided that the marriage itself is healthy? Where shall one spouse find strength when the other is weakened by difficulties? What is the "bulwark" for the millions of adult Christians who are unmarried, divorced or widowed?

• "God [himself] is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1 ESV).
• "I will say to the LORD, 'My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust'" (Ps. 91:2).
• "Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you" (Ps. 55:22).
• "Bear one another's burdens," that is, as an entire community that trusts in the Lord (Gal 6:2).
