WSJ Book review on "Marriage and Caste in America"

Marriage Works USA. The new initiative from CFOC.

A bold new program targeting the attitudes of teens aged 15 to 19, aimed at promoting one of the world's most cherished institutions: marriage. The campaign's core message is a practical, added-value approach that can be summed up in just two words: Marriage Works. Research suggests that children do best when two parents who have a healthy marriage raise them. Assisting teenagers to reach adulthood before childbearing would help more children grow up in families with healthy marriages - and improve the well being of their children.
