The situation you describe above should result in the same success in raising children. Exactly. Ergo, you cannot claim that marriage is the key variable. You cannot do so logically. It's like saying beef stew is good for your eyesight when it's carrots, which traditional beef stews contain, that help your eyesight. Just because two things are commonly associated does not mean that they are interchangeable. This is very basic. Go ahead and advocate for two parent families. I will join you. The point is that marriage has the best chance of producing a two parent situation for raising children. Personally, I think that if you're going to raise children it would be best get married. But marriage as it is practiced in the here and now is broader than than. That's why it's important to focus on the salient variable rather than be distracted by an institution with other baggage. At best it complicates things unnecessarily and at worst it leads us astray. Besides, how can we properly educate our kids if we disregard such fallacies? <g>
