The Family is Irreplaceable

The world has had there biggest changes in the last hundred years than any other century. The definition of the family has changed along with the world.

Up until around the 1900s the family was very traditional. Families were made up of a mother, a father and children. Now, they can be anything, like two women or two men raising children, a single mother or father raising a child. It has become less common to find a traditional family. The change in laws for the LGBTQ+ community were great but they have some long lasting, negative affects on the children involved. The children won`t be raised by both a mother and father. The relationship between a child and a mother or a child and a father is very important to not just the child but the parent as well. For example, a girl that has been raised by a single mother doesn't have that attention, time, or resources needed to protect them from the world that a father could provide. Children are proven to be healthier and more likely to get an education if they have both a mother and a father that love each other and are still married. Going along with that the parents are more motivated for their children and strive in health, wealth, and education.

Other things that drastically changed in the last hundred years is the thoughts on cohabitation, divorce, premarital sex, delayed births, delayed marriage age, birth rates, house hold size, employed mothers, etc. One hundred years ago, people were very proper. People liked a person of the opposite sex, went on chaperoned dates with them, asked them to get married and only after you were married you could live with them, have sex, and have a baby, mothers took care of the children and the father provided the money, and then they died without getting a divorce. (Unless one of the "Four As" happened. The "Four As" are Addiction, Adultery, Abuse, and Abandonment.) These days people can do any of those things in whatever order they want.

It is proven that the world society, population, economics, etc. strive on healthy traditional families.
