There is no denying that healthy marriages are important to society. And one look at statistics on divorces and children born out of wedlock shows the institution of marriage in United States is not as healthy as it should be.
However, it's highly doubtful that a series of congressional hearings can change that.

Consequences still harmful for out-of-wedlock births
At least teenage pregnancies aren't still on the rise. That's not new, but it's still good news. It's also the most hopeful outlook on a startling report last month by the National Center for Health Statistics showing that nearly 40 percent of all American births last year were to unmarried parents. ... , but the rate of babies born out of wedlock rose to its highest level ever. And teenagers weren't driving that trend.

Talking with political science students over the last several years has taught me a lot. Reading "Red Families v. Blue Families, Legal Polarization and the Creation of Culture," recently published by Oxford University Press, has put what I have been hearing into better perspective.
I have learned how very hard it is for young people to get a college education today. Money is tight and getting tighter, so they work to save for college and have outside jobs while in college. Only infrequently is there anyone to help them, except government- sponsored student loans that tend to grow and last a lifetime.

By chopping wood on his own time. Venture Smith also eventually bought a farm. In 1798, he sold his story to a teacher, who published it. It is thought to be Colonial New England's only surviving slave narrative.
The freshman honors class used Smith, whose life and legacy are being dissected by an international community of scholars and scientists, to explore the meaning of identity from a scientific, legal, philosophical, historical and artistic viewpoint, genetics Professor Rachel O'Neill told The Associated Press.

It is already one of the most embarrassing video clips in sports history, and it has nothing to do with dropped passes or missed dunks. It is footage of New York Jets defensive back Antonio Cromartie, a 26-year-old man, trying to list the names of his children.
Cromartie, in the HBO reality series "Hard Knocks," sits on the field, counting his kids on his fingers. At times he seems to struggle remembering them, and he skips one of their names altogether.

WASHINGTON - The number of babies being born out of wedlock has increased sharply in the United States, driven primarily by significant jumps in women in their 20s and 30s having children without getting married, according to a federal report.
More than 1.7 million babies were born to unmarried women in 2007, a 26 percent rise from 2002 and more than double the number in 1980, according to the report from the National Center for Health Statistics. The increase reflected a 21 percent jump in the rates of unmarried women giving birth, which rose from 43.7 per 1,000 women in 2002 to 52.9 per 1,000 women.
