“Marital Dysfunction and Divorce has pervasive ill effects on children and the five (5) major institutions of society- the family, the church, the school, the marketplace and government itself. If the family is the building block of society, then marriage is the foundation. Ignoring or failing to address the problems will do little to change the culture of divorce.” -- Author, Patrick F. Fagan is William H.G. Fitzgerald Senior Fellow in Family and Cultural Issues.
