i was raised for part of my childhood in a 2 parent home, the home of my grandparents. it was a single income house and during my time there i was steady stable ad cared for. the other part of my childhood i spent in a single parent home, my mothers. she had 2 incomes from 2 fulltime jobs during my time with her i became unstable but still loved and cared for, diagnosed with multiple mental disorders so she could get me on ssi. i am now 27 yrs old married and a working mother of 3 ( havent been working very long waited for my youngest to start preschool so ive been a stay at home mom the previous 9 yrs). my husband is a hs graduate with 2 yrs of college and im a hs dropout. during the time my husbands pay was our only income we did just fine, and no we did not have any type of government assistance neither of us will accept handouts. my children were happy, healthy, very well behaved and well adjusted. i was happy, and stable. now im working as well and we are barely stretching from paycheck 2 paycheck 2 cover bills gas and groceries, my children are less happy without me, and do not behave as well for their father in the evenings as they did for me. i am constantly stressed out or depressed from not having much time with my kids (only a few minutes every morning thru the wk, and a few hrs on sat and sun). so judging the article from where i sit its very biased bs, ive been in multiple situations faced many hard facts growing up and continue 2 now. i stand at a point where i think its has nothing 2 do with income head of house or the sex of your parents, it is knowing what you want out of life and working hard enough to have that. i wanted a better life for my children than the life i had as a child i have pushed hard, worked hard, and broken down many times to make sure they have all they need and some of what they want. so no it doesnt matter what kind of home your raised in or the type of situation good or bad your raised with, its all on you as an adult to decide if your going to do something with yourself. i havnt done much with my life but i am proud of myself for the few things that i have accomplished and will continue to work hard to accomplish more. i got my GED last spring, and i am hoping to enroll in college this fall.

gay marriage is irrelevant to that issue since homosexuals dont produce children together,,,,
Funny; I know plenty of gay and lesbian couples with children. Either they are the biological children of one partner, or they've been adopted. These kids exist. But then again, I also know plenty of heterosexual married couples who are poor, and some wealthy single parents... so I think the whole discussion is a crock of you-know-what. The fact that it started out with a quote from the Heritage Foundation (a group with a nefarious and societally-backward agenda if there ever was one) should be a clue. |

Culture Marriage reduces poverty Charlie Butts (OneNewsNow.com) Tuesday, September 25, 2012 Marriage proves to be an excellent way to keep children from growing up in poverty. That conclusion was reached through a study done by The Heritage Foundation. Spokesman Robert Rector tells OneNewsNow a child's probability of growing up in poverty is reduced by 82 percent when the parents are married. Rector "If you look nationwide, in a given year about 37 percent of the single-parent families with children are poor," he says. "By contrast, of the married two-parent families, only 7 percent of them are poor. And you know what? That reduction occurs even if you make a comparison between parents at the same education level." Rector points out that what the mainstream press in America never acknowledges is that with 70 percent of the poverty in America occurring in single-parent families, marriage is a key solution to poverty. "It's actually a stronger factor than graduating from high school," he adds. "Now, I'm not suggesting that people should drop out of high school -- [finishing high school is] clearly a very positive thing. But the fact of the matter is that marriage is actually more powerful in terms of its social and economic outcomes, and no one talks about it. It's a big secret." Rector says the experts on the subject know it, but there "really has been a gag rule on talking about the benign effects of marriage in the United States for decades." http://www.onenewsnow.com/culture/2012/09/25/marriage-reduces-poverty it has always just made sense to me the foundation of life is the male and female together, and the best potential for a life once born is with that foundation in tact,,, my biggest regrets are bringing my children up in split families,,,, I would advise anyone against purposefully creating a life with someone they werent committed to raising that life with,,, I think the odds of commitment increase when people have the commitment witnessed by family and community,,,,and mandated by the law 
I think the divorce rate disagrees with you........ |

I think the divorce rate disagrees with you........ I think the divorce rate proves marriage can break up just like casual relationships but what I stated was I dont think it happens AS OFTEN When people have had their commitment recognized by family and community as when they are just hooking up |

I think the divorce rate disagrees with you........ I think the divorce rate proves marriage can break up just like casual relationships but what I stated was I dont think it happens AS OFTEN When people have had their commitment recognized by family and community as when they are just hooking up Yes, marriages fail. The wedding chappel is similar to a courtroom with witnesses. Strange as it may sound in these days, it used be truly looked upon as a devastating failure when married couples would breakup. And divorce was not so easy. It was a bit more shameful than today. And couples worked harder to maintain unity in the family relationship. I believe, just as the public education system was beneficial for the nurturing and teaching of ethics and the like, even moreso was the instituion of marriage designed. . Back in the day obligation to commitment, love, respect were valuable to family structure. And every effort was made to hold to those virtues. Families had unity of spirit. Nowadays, vain things have weakened the minds of men and women. Material things and extramarital affairs, and even substance abuse seem more important than family bond. Children are happier and are more likely to follow the beaten path of commitment and productivity where there is a proper foundation laid. and where shame is not a a part of the equasion. That is.. where parents try to keep their environment unquestionably sound.

I might be the only one who thinks this but what does it really matter? Who are we to say what is acceptable or not? I think that as long as your happy with the choices you make, and you can handle the effect that it will have on the children, then be open with those kids. Marriages between men and women do not always workout, t hey are not perfect, and they end up getting divorced. But yet that is acceptable? He cheated? She cheated? That is ok, but not falling in love with another guy/girl? Grow up. I have friends that are lesbians, and they both work their butts off and raise amazingly strong children. In the end, it's not who teaches them, it's how it's taught, explained and patiently accepted.
