"The kids who got a better start — because their parents were married and working — ended up better off. Most of the poor kids from single-parent families stayed poor."

So we should be encouraging people to get married, stay married, and stay responsible enough to hold down a job if they are going to raise kids. Not a new idea at all, but that's cool to have a study to back it up.




But we don't know from the study if marriage is a cause or an effect.
