Summary: <blockquote><p>There is no human mind that can engineer a family better than the divine mind; there is no ability that anyone possesses to rethink the family that is superior to Almighty God.<span id="more-751"></span></p></blockquote> <p>Have you heard about platonic parenting? What is it? It is an arrangement of two or more people who join forces for the sole reason of having and raising a child. Person thy options are limitless. It is clear that we are in a time of tremendous upheaval as it regards parenting. The key idea is this: it doesn’t actually matter who parents a child provided somebody (or somebodies) raise a child.</p> <p>As the Church, we don’t have the pressure to figure out a familial outline. We believe in God’s design for the family; Genesis 2:24 shows us that a man pursues a woman to build a new family with one woman to the glory of God. We actually step into a living worldview that God has already set into motion; Christians believe that we are participants in this grand drama of doxology where we glorify God. There is no human mind that can engineer a family better than the divine mind; there is no ability that anyone possesses to rethink the family that is superior to Almighty God.</p> <p>Those who are really going to suffer from these platonic arrangements are going to be children. It doesn’t take a village to raise children. It takes a father and mother who are dedicated and know the Lord.</p> <p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/soloish/wp/2017/02/21/its-not-about-romance-these-singles-want-a-parenting-partner-not-a-life-partner/?utm_term=.b2e8050d11c2">It’s not about romance.
