First, a little Friday light fare, easy on the palate.
Now, on to the “hard” stuff…
The reasons mothers need to be married are legion, but let’s look at one:
“Mothers who manage to get and stay married are much less likely to produce boys who end up terrorizing playgrounds, parks, and little old ladies walking home from the grocery store. One recent Princeton study found that boys who grew up in an intact, married family were half as likely to end up in prison as young adults. After studying murder and robbery rates in our nation’s cities, Harvard sociologist Robert Sampson observed, ‘Family structure is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, predictor of variations in urban violence across cities in the United States.’ This is why neighbors should thank the married mothers on their block.”
Read more about why women ought to marry before having children and remain married while raising children. The benefits extend beyond the person in the mirror.
Why is it that bird-brained birds are intelligent enough to build nests before laying eggs, but so many human females don’t? Answer that question, and you’ll get a prize.
(Of course, few people would expect women with or without children to remain with husbands who beat them, including me.)
Happy Mother’s Day, mothers!
