“Decades of social science affirm what common sense and millennia of human experience show: Children are most likely to thrive when raised by their married biological mother and father. Each brings irreplaceable benefits–complementary investment, stability, identity formation, and protection from higher risks found in non-biological households. If we want individual children, as well as all of society, to flourish, marriage law must once again unite the child to the two people responsible for his or her existence.” – Katy Faust
