The TV media moguls will argue when writers or social protestors stand up and state what harm entertainment and TV media causes to family love and relationships. While the sociologists can argue that the evidence and damaged societal patterns trailing behind us over the decades - prove them liars. The media depends on controversial messages for their 'money-making!'

TV and video entertainment today encourages wild sexuality and violence while breaking down the values of honesty, trust, faithfulness, loyalty, self-control, and responsibility. School children and couples today sit in front of television for hours, or listen to all types of music for hours instead of joining in family activities.

In this digital age, children spend their time playing video games, chatting on The Internet listening to harmful music, and engaging in the viewing of harmful television programs. While the media says we all have our own freedom of choice, it is difficult to make good choices when you turn on the television and nudity, violence, profanity, drug taking and other inhumane activities are going on, on nearly every TV station tuned in to.

These days, television is way beyond simply being 'open' to all influences. Many people will use the term 'open mind' simply to get their own way. Open-minded people will not engage in harmful viewing, behaviors, actions, sound, etc., rather these types of minds will utilize the tools that prevent them from being harmed.

When married or single couples spend hours together watching harmful movies, listening to painful sounds, or else engaging in hours of video play they are not taking the time to live, learn and love.

Entertainment influences behavior. If the entertainment is good then good results will come of the activity, or engaging. On the other hand, if entertainment is bad then harm will result. It may not appear obvious at the outset, but over the course of the relationship, the traces of psychological harm will creep in and out - of the cracks appearing in the family fabric.

Some clear examples of harm caused by inappropriate entertainment, which lead to the breakdown in relationships is visual in the following illustration: *A young mother joined in a relationship after giving birth to another child. The womans standards and beliefs were firm, while the husband's degree of humanity stooped to the level of today's way of thinking. The mother traditional and submissive to the husband worked effortless to make the family arrangement work, while the children and husband joined in inhuman viewing and behaviors of entertainments. Overtime the children became aggressive and acting out of violence each time rules were set in the household.

The evil father, inconsiderate and lacking the ability to love rarely helped the mother with discipline and control of the children's behaviors, rather he enforced the wrongful conduct. Over time the woman after dishing out years of long-suffering, love, hope, et cetera fell into the charts of divorce when the husband committed adultery.

The bad husband sold drugs, administered drugs, and solicited prostitution while encouraging the children to do the same. The children later appeared in court for criminal prosecution, as well the husband landed in court facing charges against him. The family fell apart by divorce, lack of communication, inactive family participation, and harmful entertainment. While each family member came from broken homes, the mother had the wisdom (if only the others would listen) to make a productive relationship, while demonstrating true love. The husband was incompetent in the extreme.

As you can see, what you feed the mind comes out over time. The mind controls the body, including wellness, productivity, performance, et cetera. When the mind is fed garbage, it will gradually show in behaviors, case studies, patterns, habits, et cetera.

The saying, you are what you eat, is literally true. Yes, it is a statement backed by evidence and truth. Likewise, what you put in the mind enforces what will come out over time. If you are spending hours on a couch watching movies, thus you are stating to your mate that the person is not interesting enough to move you to share time together. What is your mate doing that makes you feel this way? Sometimes a mate does nothing to enforce this negative reaction from the partner; rather it is their way of thinking, and their level of behavior standards. When couples join to make love, they are joining to stand together through thickness and thin, better or worse, sickness and health until death says their love is no more. Until death do us part.
