The result was the adoption of policies damaging to the family. We promote the family as the fundamental unit of society. The clock cannot be turned back, but people can rediscover the basic values that make nations and families strong. It is all about priorities and choices. Successful families prioritize the marital relationship, take child rearing responsibilities seriously, and make positive work and leisure choices.
Public officials provide leadership in bringing family issues to light.
When the main sectors of society combine to improve the quality of family life, there is reason for hope. Legal models define the community's interest in preserving and enhancing life, marriage, and parent-child relationships. Families are impacted by marriage and divorce laws, tax policies, criminal justice programs, educational programs, child support laws, welfare assistance programs, reproductive health programs, adoption policies, etc. Court rulings also have significant impact.
