Begetting and forming the next generation (marriage and children) Dealing with transcendent truths (worship, prayer, reflection) Learning and teaching throughout the lifetime Taking care of material needs (income and savings) Being prepared to use physical force if necessary for the good of the family and when called upon, for the good of society

All children first learn these tasks within the family. The more unity there is between the parents on how these tasks will be performed in the family, the easier it will be for the children to learn how to perform them. Family Family

Belonging: Male + Female
Society At Large Family Child / Adult Father Mother Thus the foundational relationship out of which all the institutional capacities spring is the marital relationship (or the relationship between mother and father). To the extent that relationship is good and unified, children thrive, families thrive, communities thrive, nations thrive. To the extent this relationships is weakened or nonexistent, children suffer, families suffer, communities suffer, and nations suffer. Marriage is the foundational relationship for a fully functional society.

Marriage / Child Relationship
The Non-Thriving Marriage / Child Relationship When mother and father are in tension, conflict, or separated, children feel it and are weakened by it. This is the constant lesson of family therapy with young and mid-childhood children. Eliminate the conflict between the parents

Society’s Foundational Relationship
There is a whole new realm of sociology, the sociology of religion, which demonstrates an age-old common-sense set of knowledge: that marriages are strengthened by the practice of prayer and worship (signified above by the triangle). When prayer and worship are present children thrive even more, and thus society thrives even more.

Number of Non-Marital Sexual Partners
Versus Percent in an Intact Marriage Source NSFG 1995 Here is the impact of monogamy on the stability of marriage. The first bar is the woman who has never had sexual intercourse outside of marriage (0 partners outside of marriage). 80% of such women in the United States have stable marriages … stay united to their husbands. The rest of the chart tells the rest of the story: the more sexual partners the more likely they are to divorce. Even having one partner brings the rate of divorce very close to one in two chances (54 %).

Female Homosexuality Homosexual development is also linked to family structure. And again we see the family that always belongs together has the lowest rate of homosexuality, though even there things go wrong (as any clinical psychologist will tell us – and as every married parent knows). Here there is the least incidence, not only in the intact married family, but also in the (broken) always-single mother family. This last structure however, on many relational measures, is often quite strong – not as strong as the always intact married family but stronger, often, that all the others. This arises from the phenomenon that for the child’s day to day experience his or her family is quite intact … the separation or rejection by parents of each other happened outside of his or her experience, in infancy, often. Thus we get the strength we see here (the lesser amount of homosexuality). Keep in mind that in this chart the numbers are small so the confidence in the pattern has to be reduced. All that notwithstanding this is the best estimate of homosexuality we have from a nationally representative federal survey.

Female Homosexuality By combining all the non-intact family structure together we get a clearer picture of the impact of the rejection of parents of each other on the phenomenon of homosexuality. The same caveats hold here as hold for the previous chart: the numbers are small therefore the confidence is reduced. None the less these are the best data we have.

Medians are used so that the extreme incomes of multimillionaires do not give a false picture. Using the Federal Reserve’s Survey of Consumer Finance, we can see that the always-intact-married-family, on average, earns the most. The married stepfamily comes close. All other family structures are significantly less.

Net worth for most families is composed of the value of the house they own, their retirement savings, and some other goods such as cars, refrigerators, etc. In these data the figure shown is median income, not average income. That means that fifty percent of all families in any structure earned above this level and fifty percent below this level. This, rather than average wealth is used, because the billionaires would quickly distort the average. Using the median, we get a better sense of the impact of family structure on capital wealth. As is clear from this, marriage has a dramatic impact on the capital worth of the family. Both the always-intact-married and the married-stepfamily have the highest capital worth by far. Thereafter, the net worth of other family structures drops dramatically. The always-single-mother-family only has a net worth of only $350. The always-intact-married-family has a net worth of $120,250. $40,000 $27,800 $20,540 $16,540 $14,850 $20,000 $350 $0 First Marriage Second(+) Divorced Widowed Cohabitation Separated Never Married Marriage

Each label on the different family structures is a shorthand history of belonging, rejection, or indifference within the family. The lowest level of poverty is in the always-intact family (12 percent), where the parents have always belonged to each other and to their children. The real picture is probably even better for many intact families are graduate students whose income is very low but about whom no one is really worried for they are on their way to a middle class income. The next family structure, the stepfamily, is in a similar situation with 13 percent in poverty. Here, the parents and children belong to each other, but normally in the history of this family there is serious rejection (divorce) for at least one of the parents or rejection originating with an out-of-wedlock birth. The level of poverty in the divorced, single parent family is much higher at 31 percent. This form of the family is fractured by the parents’ rejection of each other. The next highest level of poverty is amongst cohabiting parents who are characterized by ambivalence about their future with each other (39 percent). The separated, single-parent family has a similarly high level of child poverty at 41 percent. Finally, the always-single mother family has the highest level of child poverty at 67 percent. This is the family structure where the father has never belonged to the mother nor fully to his children.

The blue and red column on the right represents the impact that the marriage of the fathers to their mothers in which both incomes are combined.

This particular chart illustrates not just simple correlations but the regression results after controlling for parental income and education. Interestingly, these results highlight stepfamilies’ difficulties in attaining a sense of intactness and belonging. The highest rate of incarceration (of boys in the main part) is in families where the mother comes from outside the original biological family to form the reconstructed stepfamily. The next highest is when the father is brought from outside the original biological family to form the new stepfamily. The next comes in the never married, single-mother family. The lowest rate is in the always-intact, married family. There are dramatic differences among these rates: 1, 2.07, 2.71, and 3.7. Family Stepfather Family Source: C. Harper and S.

However even taking these divorce and separation rates into account the ‘ever-married’ woman experiences a much lower rate of abuse than does the ‘never-married’ woman.
