Why Marriage Matters

Let the discussion begin. First, it is extremely important for everyone to read Is There Hope for the American Marriage? by Caitlin Flanagan. Just before going to lunch, I assessed a case in which the male was the biological father of four children by three different women and the female was the biological mother of four children by four different men, one of which was among the father’s four. Flanagan’s essay does an excellent job of explaining why this issue is critically important to our society, and how what’s happening in America is far more deleterious than any terrorist attack. Once again, I will strive to stimulate commentary from all of us who see this as perhaps the most important issue of our time.
