LU – As a society we need the family unit which consists of a father, mother and children. Just look at the black community the disintegration of the family unit created most of their problems. Divorce just creates more problems. It lowers the standard of living of both parents possible resulting in them qualifying for government programs and many times takes the farther out of the children’s live.
Is Society better off with children growing up in a one parent home and with a lower standard of living or living in a 2 parent home with a higher standard of living but one of the spouses is controlling.
The question also is will the wife be better off married and living a middle class lifestyle or divorced living a lower income lifestyle. How will the children react will they side with their father blaming their mother for the lowering living standards when they will be heading to college or will they side with their mother that their father is controlling and abusive.
