Food for thought.
So many people today get divorced, and I can remember my children feeling as though they were in a minority group, because they had a mother and a father, married, living together.
I am sure Winston can give a spreadsheet on the rate of divorce over the years?
The single parent family, the conflicting advice between parents who are separated and getting at each other through the children are not helping the current situation, and at the risk of going off topic, it's possible that people don't put the same effort into marriage in the first place, and work hard at it as they can get a divorce all too easily. or maybe they are not prepared to put up with things that their parents and grandparents tolerated.
One other thought. I know of a 21 yr old girl who has 4-5 children to different fathers, has no intention of getting married, and is living comfortably on welfare thank you very much. No male role model and no female role model either in this case.
