ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of the book. This book lays out the groundwork necessary for strong marriages. It examines the impact of marriage on the private sector, specifically the benefits for individual adults and, especially, for children. The book analyzes the impact of marriage on the public sector by exposing the ramifications of same-sex "marriage" and summarizing the issues associated with the plethora of legislative and public policy initiatives that are linked inextricably to the marriage and family issues. After several decades of changes that undermined marriage, there are public policymakers and opinion leaders who are taking courageous stands to promote stable marriages and discourage out-of-wedlock births. Marriage, say the feminists, has always been about male domination of women, not about two people learning what it means to respect and value each other. According to the feminist view, marriage only degrades and oppresses women.
