Closer to Seinfeld

Married couples are now a minority in the United States, and Ray Pritchard shares ten insights into what the shifting composition of North American families means for Christian ministry:
Mostly we must face the fact that we no longer live in an Ozzie and Harriet world. American culture is closer to Seinfeld than to Leave It to Beaver. As I visit different churches, it seems to me that we're still catering to the minority two-parent family, which makes sense because that's what we understand, but it's not the world we live in. If the church intends to speak to this generation, we might as well fact the fact that we're speaking more to singles than to married couples.
