Re: For first time, unmarried households reign in US
I still don't buy it. Again, that may be the case for some people but I still don't believe that signing a piece of paper with my SO is going magically make me a fabulous parent who bears incredibly well-balanced kids. Nor do I think NOT having that piece of paper means I will be a horrible parent.
It strikes me that it's quite similar to instantaneously being considered smart enough to vote the moment you turn 18...being logical enough to drink responsibly the moment you turn 21...becoming a better driver the moment you turn 25... All I need to do is sign a marriage contract and *poof* - great parent. I simply cannot buy it.
Again, just my honest opinion. I'm agreeing to disagree.
