REGARDING your report about 'soap opera' marriages being slammed by the Bishop of Blackburn (LET, September 27), there is nothing wrong with Coronation Street on TV.
It is very true to life and when what is portrayed before your eyes makes us think: "Oh, it's not like that." I am afraid it is.
But, after all Bishop, in Coronation Street, Maxine did insist on getting the marriage vows right, when she insisted in the word 'obey.' That seems to be missing in some church marriage services.
The only way we can present love and responsibility to our children, is to be full of love and responsibility ourselves - which today seems to have been lost somewhere.
