President and Mrs. Bush
To encourage marriage and promote the well-being of
children, I have proposed a healthy marriage initiative to help
couples develop the skills and knowledge to form and sustain
healthy marriages. Research has shown that, on average, children
raised in households headed by married parents fare better than
children who grow up in other family structures. Through
education and counseling programs, faith-based, community, and
government organizations promote healthy marriages and a better
quality of life for children. By supporting responsible
child-rearing and strong families, my Administration is seeking
to ensure that every child can grow up in a safe and loving
home."
