4. The Foundational Relationship
For Society
There are five major institutions in society:
The Family
The Church (Synagogue or Temple)
The School (Grade School, High School, University and Media)
The Government
The Marketplace (The Economy)
In which five major tasks are accomplished:
Begetting and forming the next generation
Dealing with transcendent truths
Learning and teaching
Using physical force (locus of power) for the common good
Taking care of material needs through exchange of goods and services

7. The more monogamous women are (one sexual partner in a lifetime) the more stable their marriages.
When they engaged in one non-marital sexual relationship (normally before marriage) the likelihood of stable marriage dropped to 54 percent and with two sexual relationships to 44 percent. More frequent relationships further diminished the stability of unions.
This chart alone is one of the strongest arguments for teenage chastity … the future stability of one’s future marriage!...to save future children from divorce.
