Fathers disappear from households across America as a non-Christian liberal ideology deepens its hold on government, public education, the mainstream media, social services, and society as a whole.

"The spiral continues each year. Married couples with children have an average income of $80,000, compared with $24,000 for single mothers."

“We have one class that thinks marriage and fatherhood is important, and another which doesn’t, and it’s causing that gap, income inequality, to get wider,” Mr. DiCaro the vice president of the National Fatherhood Initiative said.

In every state, the portion of families where children have two parents, rather than one, has dropped significantly over the past decade. Even as the country added 160,000 families with children, the number of two-parent households decreased by 1.2 million. Fifteen million U.S. children, or 1 in 3, live without a father, and nearly 5 million live without a mother. In 1960, just 11 percent of American children lived in homes without fathers.

The near-total absence of male role models has ripped a hole the size of half the population in urban areas."

People are more self-centered and too proud to admit their faults. They want the easy way out instead of recognizing they made the choice to start that relationship and should make the choice to finish it.

Do you think one thing that is promoting this is a welfare system that gives money to single mothers? Our church has an unmarried couple attending, she has two children by different fathers, and her boyfriend is not working ....when discussing their financial situation he refers to 'her check' supporting them all. Now she's pregnant again. If they get married, she'll lose that welfare check. It seems our government is encouraging this.

I've worked in a crisis pregnancy center and it seems some unmarried moms have the thought that since they are moms and raising children that the government SHOULD take care of them. And they have live in boyfriends. One lady brings in her son's girlfriend for a pregnancy test every month....hoping that if she's pregnant (and remains unmarried) the girlfriend will qualify for HUD housing and then they can all live with her.
