Biggest Loser--Morality

I admit it, I watched "The Biggest Loser" and was a bit surprised at the lowering of our morals.
You didn't get it?
This episode involved engaged couples who weighed up to and more than 400 pounds and wanted to lose weight and win a dream honeymoon, but first they had to lose lots of weight.
My problem was that they took them to the spa, and these folks who are engaged we sent to rooms to SHARE. Wait a minute, aren't these folks supposed to be engaged, and what kind of message does it send to America's youth and their parents that these engaged couples are living together?
A little thing, but it reminds us of Romans 12:2, where Paul said don't conform to the temporal laws of today, stick to the eternal laws of God.
Our society is changing and people are seeing it destroy our moral character. I never watched "Friends" because I had small children. I didn't think the scenario of a bunch of "Friends" living and sleeping and having children together was a particularly good way to raise children.
Don't get me wrong, what a great thing if you're a guy, free sex and no responsibilities. But if you're the woman, you get a reputation of being a slut with a kid.
Not a great way to start a life.
Oh well, it's just a television program. So when you want your kids to meet some sort of standard for morality and they don't because that's the way they do things on TV, at least you can know you were once warned.
