Having read Michael Falzon’s article (The Sunday Times, March 20), I feel disappointed that this ex-Nationalist/Christian Democrat now-turned-‘progressive’ calls anyone who does not agree with divorce a fundamentalist.

He wrote: “I have more respect for the fundamentalists who insist they are against divorce at all costs because, at least, they are true to their beliefs.”

So according to Mr Falzon, because I choose to protect my family from the evil of divorce, I qualify as a fundamentalist. I prefer to be his so-called fundamentalist than let my sons suffer the misery brought about by divorce.

I hope the next two months will not be marred by individuals who do not respect the opinion and experience of those who have been successfully married for years.

Mr Falzon should know that a successful marriage does not come about by being a fundamentalist but by the daily commitment of the couple.

And if it is a Christian marriage, couples need the help of God throughout their ups and downs to make it work.

My wife and I witnessedthis, through many years ofcommitted life together with our dear family. I encourage MrFalzon to desist from attacking our families and apply his energy to helping problem families.

Divorce will not solve their problems or the state’s. Actually, it will make them worse.

The victims of divorce are the children who have no voice in this campaign.

We have to protect them first and foremost. Mr Falzon can call me fundamentalist while I am protecting the children. ThenI would be a very proud fundamentalist.
