What do fathers do? -- The essential father.

Reclaiming fatherhood and marriage.

Subject: The American family is changing. Divorce, single parents, and stepfamilies are redefining the way we live together and raise our children. Is this a change for the worse? David Popenoe sets out the case for fatherhood and the two-parent family as the best arrangement for ensuring the well-being and future development of children. His argument has two critical assumptions, which he supports with evidence from a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, biology, and history. The first is that children flourish best when raised by a father and a mother with their differing psychological and behavioral traits. The second is that marriage, which serves to hold fathers to the mother-child bond, is an institution we must strengthen if the decline of fatherhood is to be reversed. https://www.amazon.com/Life-without-Father-Compelling-Indispensable/dp/0674532600/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1591213371&sr=8-1
