Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
– Genesis 2:24
In a recent international report from the Social Trends Institute co-sponsored by the Institute for Family Studies, the research showed that retreat from marriage seems to decrease family stability for children in a wide variety of social contexts. Using data from 100 countries around the globe, the study also found that family instability was higher in countries where more children were born to single mothers and cohabiting couples.
It is proven that marriage is associated with more family stability for children across the globe and that strong family relationships build sustainable societies.
