Single couples can’t save thousands of dollars by filing jointly on their taxes.
When a single person dies, social security cannot be routed to anyone in their family, as is the case with married persons. Social Security privileges marrieds in many ways. A single person can’t add disability to their spouse’s wages in the event of injury and receive lower taxes.

According to Dr. Helen Fisher, men’s desire to marry has dropped while women’s desire to marry has risen, which is a bad sign because they’re expected to initiate the union. Perhaps the biggest reason marriage rates have dropped in America is because men [not necessarily women] aren’t aware of its benefits.

What you see is Mr. Big sleeping with Carrie and then running away.” she says explaining her interpretation of the Heritage Foundation’s study, concluding that the more sexual partners one has outside of marriage, the less likely they are to be fulfilled within it. If sex strengthened commitment, the more people that shack up [live together unmarried] would equal more people marrying and having a successful marriage at that. But we’re seeing the exact opposite. Couples who shack up before marriage are less likely to ever marry and in fact see marriage as a negative and outright oppose it!

But I will say God more highly honors the person who not only receives by faith, but, has the underlying character to acknowledge and give God thanks!
Though God honors a man who can receive by faith, He more highly honors a man who can say thankyou as well.
How do I know? Because of the 10 lepers that were healed, only one returned and gave thanks to God. This same leper was made whole, or, more

However, we’ve dug, dug, and dug, only to find that the number one culprit to this is, none other than the United States itself! We’ve located a myriad of laws that accelerate low marriage rates, high divorce rates and single parenthood.
For starters, federal and state governments still spend about $150 billion each year subsidizing single-parent families. This stands in stark contrast to the approximately $150 million they
