Do adults need to place more value on marriage?. Yes, family structure is an important factor in reducing poverty and expanding opportunity. Children raised in stable and secure families have a better chance to flourish. Two-income households on average has more resources to devote to raising children compared to one parent attempting to raise children alone..

When it comes to policymakers promoting strong, stable, and committed families many of the challenges are related to culture more than legislation or programs.

An agreement was reached on four cornerstones of a pro-family, pro-opportunity agenda which are:.

Statistics have shown that....

A child raised by two parents outperforms a peer raised in a single-parent family on key developmental, educational, behavioral, and employment-related outcomes, controlling for other factors. Parents who are married are more likely to stay together and provide a stable environment. 4 out of 5 children who started out in the bottom quintile but who were raised by parents married throughout their childhood , rose out of the bottom quintile as adults. Children raised in the bottom quintile by a parent who remained unmarried throughout their childhood had a 50% chance of reaching the top quintile. 2/3rds of cohabiting parents have split up before their child reaches the age of 12, compared to only 25% of married parents..

Selection Effect. Selection Effect it results related to the positive benefits that appear to flow from marriage. Adults who possess certain characteristics such as trustworthiness or perseverance, may be more inclined to marry, and children raised by adults with these characteristics may do better. Marriage itself is to serve as a "mechanism" by which parents support a mutual commitment to invest intensively in their child..

Principal Foundation. Marital commitment remains the principal foundation upon which most Americans can build a stable and secure environment with two engaged, committed, and nurturing parents..
