Americans ambivalent toward single-parent families

This is an article found on physorg.com announcing a new article published by the Journal of Marriage and the Family. This article describes findings from a single-parent family study of teh evolution of attitudes toward single-parent families. The questions of why Americans form single parent families and their expression of ambilivalence toward themselves. Very interesting. I want to see the whole article now.

Increase in marriage licence...is it a disincentive to marry or an incentive to get counceling?

This is a short but sweet article. I have heard of states lowering marriage licenses to get people to marry but this article says just the opposite. It is planned that the increased fees will pay for counseling for couples who wish to get a divorce. Is this really fair? Does this provide a disincentive or an incentive?
