I have been criticised on numerous occasions for saying that if we want a better society we must encourage stable family life - by which I mean marriage for life and fathers who take responsibility for their household. Of course that's what the Bible promotes, but the world (and much of the church!) won't listen to God's word. And yet, for many years, science has also shown that marriage (not cohabitation or single-parenting) and responsible fatherhood is best for children. And yet the intollerance of liberal thinking, policy-making and reporting has suppressed this truth in favour of the lie which says 'all sorts of families are equally good for children'.
Well finally, the BBC has allowed someone to say something different. In an excellent programme about the failure of society, John Ware reported on the uncomfortable truth that marriage is best for children and society. If you missed the programme, you can see it here on BBC i-player.
