I have three children, two were born in Russia and one in Canada. So from an experience of 22 years living in Canada. I can point out only a couple of issues on a topic of this thread.

The marriage decreasing an amount of income ( the way taxes are calculated for married couples, common-law marriage or single parents)
The most government financial support and benefits goes to a single parents: housing, health, education etc. Do I have to say more?!
I even didn't mention the cost and headaches of divorces.
Me personally would gladly to marry someone I love ... but government does everything not to let it happen.
In my strong opinion children must grow in a real families ( not a common-law ones)
But here I hear a word Socialism somewhere in a distance.

It's surprising but not entirely upsetting nor sad.
A child needs love nourishment, encouragement, warmth understanding and hopefully a parent or parents who are emotionally stable to guide them through a safe and happy childhood.
Whatever form that takes is non of my business but if the child is neglected or interfered with in any way then that should be everyone's business, that's around the child.
In my day childhood lasted literally until you were 18....nowadays your lucky if you reach ten before its swiped and for some alot earlier.

Mobility (moving around not upward mobility) has destroyed the expanded family. Grandpa an grandma kept the kids together for the grandkids. That pressure has been removed. They can't do it from half a country away.

And of that 18% a certain amount will be gay marriage. So, it's not looking good for the future.

In that particular case, the son did fine. Mom cooked for them, kept house, while dad ran the farm. So whether he was go between or not, they didn't fight in front of him. He did have stability. It depends on how parents stay together. Some fight insistently. Some keep it all under wraps but the tension is so much the kids suffer. Parents need to be a united front when dealing with kids.
My neighbors divorced. She has gone out of her way to put the kids against dad, made his life miserable and spoiled the kids because she was too self centered to care what they did.
I know elderly who live "in sin" because if they marry, their Social Security gets cut. So the government does play a role. Single parents get help. I grew up where there were farmers who were poor. The kids helped as soon as they could. Pa eked out a living and feed and clothed his kids. Government gave him diddly. And they made it with healthy, happy kids. Food might be basic but it was real food. Now food stamps and food pantries provide processed foods and junk. Give that mom a whole chicken and she is either to "busy" or lazy to cook it or has no idea what on earth to do with one.
Government hand outs is a major cause of obesity in America.

The daily wire is a conservative run media. I decided to check the United States census which did not coincide with the wire. With that being said other than the misinformation I found the article quite interesting and food for thought. I agree where it says people are waiting till later in life to marry and also where it talked about more people are choosing to live alone. Neither one are bad things in my opinion. I do know that people do not stay married like the did years ago. And I also cannot fault that. A woman no longer has to stay with a man that beats the tar out of her. She has choices. And I am sure a fair amount just want out once they see being married is not always fun laugh
