CHILDREN OF MARRIED PARENTS HAVE THE BEST OUTCOMES (letter to Dompost, June 27)

It may not be politically correct, but it’s factually correct to say the children of married parents have the best outcomes in life.

It’s a question of commitment, but even more, for many couples it’s a commitment before God that they’ll support each other life-long and although some don’t, they’re all given the grace to do it.

‘The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world’, they used to say - but society has warped since then grotesquely, to the degree that most women would rather compete with men in an office or Parliament than shape their children’s future.

The singular value of mothers is shown in a new study revealing that the auditory cortex of the brains of babies who hear their mother’s heartbeat and their voice, singing and reading, is significantly larger than babies’ exposed to ‘routine noise’. From the fourth month of pregnancy babies hear and respond to their mother’s voice, their inseparable companion until birth and until 40 years or so ago, for the first years of life. 

A mother’s voice means the world to a baby. It’s father’s, not so much. Not nearly.
