Abstract:
The lack of clarity and cultural consensus about the decline of American marriage is dangerous. Erasing the bond between marriage and child rearing leads to a weakening of our country's ability to carry out its promise: its promise of fairness, equality, opportunity, and prosperity. Instead, the result is separate and unequal families as far as the eye can see.
