Welcome to "No Girl Left Behind", a website that will provide the solution to the current marriage crisis in the homeschooled community.
The Crisis
At the beginning of this century, Christian parents had a dream. A dream that their sons and daughters would one day would stand and join hands with other parents' sons and daughters at the altar of matrimony. This dream was deeply rooted in the American dream. It was born from the Founders' desire to insure domestic tranquility, to promote the general welfare, and to create more perfect unions.
 But this dream has still not come true. The hour has come, in which we must face the inconvenient truth of what is becoming known as "The Marriage Crisis." The crisis is this: There are young people of both genders who wish to be married and are not. (Why this is a crisis needs not be explained.)
Statistics prove the proportions of the crisis to involve "a surplus" and "a very large number" of people out-of-wedlock. Such numbers cannot be ignored, by many. And yet some refuse to see that there is a crisis at all. To those in doubt, consider these signs indicating an epidemic of singleness spreading out of control:
- Young women are sitting at home with brimming hopechests, waiting for young men who never come.
- Many young men over age 20 are still not married, indicating that most young men are not interested in pursuing marriage.
- Some girls are asked for multiple times, while some are not being asked for at all.
- Many young men seem to choose wives according to a different standard than (overlooked) young ladies would like.
- Some people are treated as more eligible than others, causing a sense of rejection and potential emotional injury.
- It seems that more young men are getting married than young women.
In short, the current courtship system is driven by a general unfairness, resulting in marriage only for a privileged few. But all of our children want to be married! Our daughters' hopechests are full, and our sons are making money. They are all very eligible -- yet they are becoming more single by the year. When in history have we ever seen people having such a hard time getting married? The natural little complications and risks associated with the marital process have escalated to the point of a national crisis. This crisis requires immediate and drastic action. Now is the time to act!
Every Girl's Right
All of our daughters are special. They have grown up knowing that they are precious flowers, worthy of knights in the shiniest armor, and expecting suitors and eventually marriage in God's perfect timing. But something has gone terribly wrong! Our daughters are losing their dream, as they see some flowers get picked... and they themselves are being overlooked and left behind. Too many young men are seeing the value only in some girls, instead of the intrinsic value in every girl. Yes, some young women may lack the maturity, or personality, or attractiveness, or skills, of others, but they are all special and all deserve equal attention.
Most importantly: because marriage is the norm, all young women are naturally entitled to marriage. The denial of this right is an injustice; a wrong that must be righted. No girl should suffer the prospect of spinsterhood, simply because her qualities run too deep for anyone to see. No girl should have to fear that the problem is with her; she needs affirmation that the problem is with the leaders, the current courtship system, and the young men. No girl should be left behind, simply because others refused to take action.
It IS Time for Action
Bad things happen when good people do nothing. Fortunately for the futures of our children, there are things that can be done to stimulate the marriage economy! This crisis is not an individual one and so it does not have individual solutions! It is a problem for the whole community. Measures need to be taken together, to accelerate matters and provide incentives for greater activity, and to insure fair treatment and equal opportunities for everyone. We are sure that thinking people everywhere will agree that a some changes to our current, ineffective/failing, approach would be for the greater good.
It is time to stand up and do something! Time for the "No Girl Left behind" Mission. Fortunately, there is a solution.
