Also, once you're on government assistance, there is little motivation to pull yourself out of it. There is essentially a wide gap where you're better off not working than going to work and making something.
it's called the "welfare cliff"

The amount of young white single mothers I saw on bumble and tinder was eye opening. The mainstreaming/making trashy cool has a lot to do with this, imo. I mean for frick's sake, some of these girls are having big public displays/baby showers for their bastard kids. Can you imagine that happening just 30-40 years ago?

I have contemplated this in a "cause or effect" analysis- is it that I am a "stable person" (emotionally, financially, etc.) as is my wife, and that is why we are able to get into and stay in a stable marriage, or is it that the stabilizing characteristics of marriage are what lead/cause us to be "stable".
The more I think about it the less I think it matters whether it is cause or effect- the outcome is just so much more demonstrably better.
