And yet the big news in courts and media is that homosexuals should be permitted to marry members of the same sex. Apparently because there is still some sanctity of marriage that must be tainted and subverted.
Human social patterns have historically been self-correcting, given some time.
But nowadays, all the experts and academics look at the disaster of the modern American family and say, "This is great. This is modern, This is diverse. It's never been better. Keep going -- more, more, more."
Considering that the definition of a traditional family is constantly changing, these numbers will soon change.
What about second marriages where the first spouse died? I think it would only slightly fall in the non-traditional category if they go back and forth between homes.
In other wards — they are not being raised in a family.
“Young men who grow up in homes without fathers are twice as likely to end up in jail as those who come from traditional two-parent families...those boys whose fathers were absent from the household had double the odds of being incarcerated — even when other factors such as race, income, parent education and urban residence were held constant.” (Cynthia Harper of the University of Pennsylvania and Sara S. McLanahan of Princeton University cited in “Father Absence and Youth Incarceration.” Journal of Research on Adolescence 14 (September 2004): 369-397.)
That was 10 years ago. I am sure the numbers have only gotten worse as the marriage rate drops.
“Americans are delaying marriage, and more may be foregoing the institution altogether”
Is the marriage rate going down?
And the libs will continue saying it’s all good while we destroy our own civilization. Liberals are inherently suicidal.
