What would it take to start educating people on the benefits of marriage?
It seems to me that the reason there are so many fatherless homes is because nobody is educating people on the benefits of marriage and family relationships, how to build them and how to keep them. How long do we have to tolerate the nonsense going on of single parent homes and fatherless children? Where are the schools when it comes to educating our children on the importance of family? Why should we sit back and let the States get rich on our inability to get along and instead look forward to marriage as people did only decades ago? Do we never learn from our mistakes? Are we not looking at the statistics?
I know, it’s a lot of questions but it’s something that needs to be addressed in every state and every city. Especially where poverty runs wild. I can’t believe how cold hearted our nation has gotten since I was a child. How uncaring. How disrespectful to other human beings. It’s overwhelming to think about it. But something has to be done.

There are programs out there that do tackle these issues. They are small and dont have a lot resource pool to become more widespread, but things like Dads Make A Differnce (a program taught to primarily 8th graders about the benefits of having both parents in a childs life and the financial reprecussions of becoming an unplanned parent) are making small dents in some communities…hope this helps!
Okay, first off… where do you get off putting all this on the fathers. I personally know of 3 single men who are raising their children without their mothers. Two of these men are having to fight constantly with the state over custody of their children when the mothers are in and out of the nut house, convicted drug users and have criminal records. Yet still, the state sees fit to persecute these men because of people like you who feel that it’s ALWYAS the mans fault. Get a life, you want to educate someone on the benefits of Marriage, perhaps you should start with your own generation. Or at least our parents generation. I’m 25 and have divorced parents… it is that generation which has caused this problem, they’re the ones that made divorce okay… they’re the ones that started breaking up families, not us, not now. So get a life, if you want to preach about the benefits of marriage perhaps you should start with the problem, not the result.
You know what? You are NOT asking too many questions. I find myself upset about A LOT of things that are overlooked and sometimes I get depressed. I have always wanted to have 6 kids when I grew up and I couldn’t wait to be the ideal parent. These days when my husband and I talk about having kids, I’m not so optimistic.
I know what you are feeling but where to start????
Think about all the crap that is going on in public schools:
young girls getting preggy, having sex before marriage, etc etc
People have no morals and ambition. People in general are LAZY and are only looking to use others.
I think you get it.
I don’t know where you can start, I’m all out of answers and solutions. This world is NO place I’m proud of. Nope not one bit
First you have to find a marriage that would be a great example to began with! Good Luck!
I use to think the same things until a lesbian told me she could, and would prefer, to raise a child without a father. Today, many woman are turning gay hence the odds of you winning this argument are getting smaller every day.
Education is the key to solving a lot of problems we have. I’m not sure marriage is always the best thing for two people though, having done it myself, and divorced. I take an active part in my kid’s lives, and was always there for them growing up. Me and their mom just didn’t want to be married, at least not to each other, so divorce WORKED for us.
you will save someones marrige
good luck
I think you are way off track here!! Don’t you think about the fatherless children, that say the father and mother were married and he still walked out before the baby was born. I don’t think that children are fatherless because of ignorance or people not being married. I believe that if two people are happy together and are commited, what’s the difference if they are married or not? You can be married in your heart to someone without a legal document saying you are married. You do not have to be married to educate your children on the importance of family. A family does not have to be a married couple and 2.5 children anymore. Families are all different. Some families consist of two mothers or two fathers, or grandparents raising kids. I think it was very ignorant of you to say, "how long do we have to tolerate the nonsense going on of songle parent homes and fatherless children?" It’s ‘nonsense" that you have such an ignorant point of view. I am a single parent and I am everything to my children, I am their FAMILY!!
Answers are hard to find, since the causes of the problems you describe stem from seemingly good approaches to other social ills.
For example, women who were mistreated, and single moms, can now receive government support through a lot of good programs. Unintended result: No apparent need for DADS.
Women are trained to be more independent, and they can make it on their own, or with Govt. help.
No wonder marriage is on the rocks.
And with modern birth control, everyone gets what they want without any commitment.
Families are being redefined. Schools are part of the problem, so don’t look for help there.
The only hope is the Church, as far as I can tell. But, then it’s really always been that way.
