Has anyone noticed that families now are different than they
were 20 years ago? Less people are getting married, divorce rates have risen,
more children are born to single parent or cohabitating couples, and the age of
people getting married has risen. The big question is, does this matter?
Maybe we
wont see the effects of theses changes
for a few years, although we will see them. Lets think about the children being
born into these new kind of families. Children born in a traditional marriage
will have better emotional and social health than those born into a
non-traditional marriage. This is because they have a better change of having
their financial needs met, stability in the home and both a father and a mother
figure. What do you think? Does it matter if a child is born in a traditional marriage?
Or as ABC has put it, “A new kind of family”?
