The Importance of Marriage and Fatherhood
March 27, 2025
An article from Institute for Family Studies came to my inbox via the Responsible Fatherhood Roundtable List Serve. The article was “Progressives Are Starting To Come Around on the Importance of Marriage and Fatherhood.
The article did a good job of laying out the growing awareness of the struggles that men and boys are experiencing at a growing rate, citing studies that report that higher education is now about 60% female, boys make up 2/3s of the worst performing students in elementary and high schools, 1 in 4 men without college degrees are not employed full time and that men are between 2 and 3 times more likely than women to suffer “deaths of despair” such as death from substance use or suicide.
