Who Is The Enemy In Marriages Anyway?

In her book, 'The Shelter of Each Other" Mary Phipher said, "Today families are much more confused about who the enemy is. They tend to focus on internal problems, such as family tensions and individual flaws of family members. They are less clear about their external enemies, such as an unfair economic system, an alcohol- and drug-soaked society, crime and the fear that comes with it, junk media and the pressures of consumerism. It's harder to fight an enemy that isn't properly identified. When the external enemy is confusing, the family doesn't unite but rather blames itself, and falls apart from within.
