Ten “Marriage Values” Policies to Rebuild America

Marriage-absence is the greatest domestic problem America faces.  Our most daunting social, economic, budgetary, criminal, and constitutional dilemmas are driven by marriage-absence and will not abate unless traditional marriage is protected and encouraged.

Establishing sensible policies to return America to a marriage-based society will prove rewarding, productive, and seminal.  The major problems of most unmarried mothers and their children will be naturally resolved.   A woman's right to be supported by, cared for, and helped by her husband will be ensured.  Health care coverage will become commonplace without resorting to National Health Care.  Chronic budgetary deficits at state levels will disappear and the federal deficit will drop as the number of single parent families costing taxpayers $20,000 each -- plummets. [i]   Most children will grow up in intact homes, disciplined and prepared to learn in school.  Substance abuse, child abuse and neglect, and poverty will decrease to manageable norms.  The dollar will regain strength as the currency of world exchange.

The future of the United States is in jeopardy.  Therefore, we must re-create marriage in America now, while we still have time to prevent certain financial and social collapse. 

The rewards of Marriage Values policy are certain.  We can reconstitute our nation's most valuable asset: healthy marriages, the social and economic cornerstone on which all successful nations have been powered.

1. Ensuring heterosexual marriage as the social norm

No-Fault Divorce laws were a mistake that encouraged marital irresponsibility, resulting in a 50% divorce rate, a 51% decline in marriages since 1970, a 16-fold hike in cohabitation, and an 800% increase in out-of-wedlock births.   Marriage as an institution is no longer trusted by younger Americans. That's why the number of cohabiting couples soared from 430,000 in 1960 to 6.8 million in 2008, and unwed births jumped from 224,000 to 1.71 million. The "Marital Responsibility" model presumes it is responsible to remain married and cooperatively work through relationship issues as they arise.
