Answer 1

Ans. (b) About two-thirds of Americans believe that parents ought to stay together if they have children.

Earlier the focus of the US government was to treat the effects of broken families but now one can observe a cultural shift in attitudes toward marriage across America. It is now an established fact that strong marriages play a critical role in social and personal well-being. The existing literature demonstrates that children in married families are healthier, perform better in school, live in poverty less frequently, and are involved in crime or other destructive behaviours less often.
