Lions, Tigers and Bears!

So my teacher said something that really struck me today in class and I thought all of you might like to hear it.  He told us about some elk he has observed over the years. About two or three weeks out of the year, they are totally devoted to the female elk, the cows, and for the rest of the 50 or so weeks, you will find all of the males off to the side, just kinda hanging out together. The cows are all together with their babies, the calves.
I did a little research after class and found that this is also true of lions, tigers, and bears (oh my). But seriously, the male lions do not care for the young in a pride (the Lion King lied to us as children). It it completely up to the lioness to hunt and care for her cubs.When baby tigers are born they are completely bind and wholly rely on their mother to nurse, protect, and take care of them. Mother bears are not to be messed with, meanwhile dad is no where to be found. It is the same with other animals all across the world.
My teacher discussed this idea with our class, and then made a statement that will stick with me for the rest of my life. He said, "It is not natural for a man and a woman to be partners, it is divine."
I truly believe that. It may not be natural to completely commit to a family, but it is certainly divine and part of God's plan for each of us. And with his help, our families can be strong and face any kind of challenges that we may face as a family. After all, it is a jungle out there!
