Until people begin to recognize that marriage is a life time commitment, we'll continue to struggle with criminality, ignorance, illiteracy, vulgarity, and unproductive people leeching off the productive.There's an awful lot of married people who are criminal, ignorant, illiterate, vulgar, and unproductive, who leech off other people.

There's an awful lot of married people who are criminal, ignorant, illiterate, vulgar, and unproductive, who leech off other people. Perhaps. However, certainly not every person who is married necessarily views marriage as a lifetime commitment that requires patience, responsibility, and maturity. I'd wager that perhaps most don't.

Sure,
However, if you look at nearly every social pathology and malady, children raised in single parent homes are far more likely to be included. Incarceration, education, addiction, victims of abuse, welfare dependent, shortened life expectancy, age of mother at first birth, and pretty much every other category is swollen with children of single parents.
