Why is noting married people are happier and kids do better with married parents so controversial
NY Post ^ | 18 Feb 2024 | Karol markowicz

Getting married is better than not getting married.

Your health is better.

You’re richer.

You’re happier.

More important, children who are raised by two married parents have an advantage over those who are not.

Nothing about these factual statements should be controversial.

People don’t like to be told that they are failing to be their best.

Democrats long ago figured out a traditional healthy family is anathema to squalid and sordid government policies.

Remember how Dan Quayle was crucified on this subject?

It is considered by the liberals as an attack on single mothers, to suggest that it is preferable for children to be raised by both biological parents.

I know that’s nonsense, but rememeber the uproar about Dan Quayle. Unfortunately we live in a world and media universe, in which we see issues discussed from the liberal point of view. Accordingly, discussions of family structure or which families are more beneficial, offends the sensibilities of liberals.

“You’re richer”

That very much depends on who you marry.

Sometimes being married can make you broke, especially if you marry someone who is obsessed with money.

Because they hate the fact that we’re happy and well adjusted. We don’t want what they offer

It doesn’t fit with any of the leftist narrative.

And since the family is the cornerstone of civilization, if you are going to destroy a country and culture, you have to go after the family first. So you can’t let people know that married people are happier and kids do better in two parent families with a actual mother and father. And their own at that.

It’s obviously racist to say that. White parents marry more often than blacks.

Our daughter graduated from HS in 2000. She told us that in one of her classes she was the only student with their mother and father still married.

We still are married - 47 in June. Though I confess I still often wonder about the mental processes of women. They are wired differently than men, no doubt about that. LOL

In this case it is. This has been studied for decades . It's only controversial because leftists encourage illegitimacy and divorce and relish the societal havoc they create.

Based on current stats and trends, certainly not enough to brag about.

Finances are a religion.

Best to weed those money obsessed loons out before you get on your knee.

Exactly. It is of fundamental importance to the Left that souls see themselves as victims, and the Left as saviors, and to be dependent upon welfare and racist policies that favor the political base of the Left, and thus the declension of the Biblical family unit, and perversions of Biblical morality is fostered, as proxy servants of the devil.
