M$The best available marital research proves beyond a doubt that a healthy long term marriage is protective for men, woman and most importantly, children.
Married couples have better emotional, psychological and spiritual health, - period. The negative health, social and economic effects associated with divorce and single parent homes may be comparable to and in many cases actually exceed the risks associated with tobacco smoke.
As just one set of important examples, kids in single family and even in homes where parents live in no married or co-cohabitation arrangements are far more likely to:
1) Develop serious emotional and behavioral problems,
2) Under-perform academically at and drop out of school (not to mention skipping college)
3) Experience emotional, physical and sexual abuse
Some leading american researchers and policy makers are even beginning to recognize that by strengthening marriages, we may be able to give our faltering economy a major boost.
