“…Worrisome is the ever-growing gap
between the rich and poor and between those who strive to preserve family values and commitments and those
who have given up on doing so. Statistically, those who have less education and
consequently lower incomes are less likely to marry and to go to church and
much more likely to be involved in crime and to have children outside of
marriage. And these trends are also troubling in much of the rest of the world.
(See W. Bradford Wilcox and others, “No Money, No Honey, No Church: The
Deinstitutionalization of Religious Life among the White Working Class,”
available at www.virginia.edu/marriageproject/pdfs/Religion_WorkingPaper.pdf.)
Opposite of what many had thought,
prosperity and education seem to be connected to a higher likelihood of having
traditional families and values.”
