Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
Using data from the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, Franciscan University of Steubenville professor David Ayers, an expert in, compared different Maryland counties based on percentages of households headed by married couples. The data showed a significant correlation between a higher percentage of married households and lower levels of crime, drug use, alcohol abuse, adolescent sex, and poverty.
One of the exceptions to this was rates of sadness, depression, and suicide, where no significant correlation was found. “And what you can see from these reports is that there is, in fact, a very robust connection between those two variables,” he added. “When we form that way, life goes better for every Marylander, and when we don’t form them that way, life is harder, especially for kids and adults and communities.”
Even those living in counties with higher marriage rates without necessarily being married will see cascading benefits, Ayers noted.
