For the past 50 years, the constant drumbeat from the news media, popular entertainment, and from all other cultural influencers has been this: The nuclear family, consisting of one child or more living with both a married mother and a father, is a dinosaur on its way to extinction.
For many years, regretfully, statistics tended to bear out that assertion. Seven years ago, in 2014, more than 40% of babies were born out-of-wedlock, including an alarming 70% of Black children. For women under the age of 30, 65.7% of babies were born outside of marriage.
