From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2008-02-13:
"The right research and policy question today is not 'what kind of family do we wish people lived in?' Instead, we must ask 'what do we know about how to help every family build on its strengths, minimize its weaknesses, and raise children more successfully?'" -- Stephanie Coontz, "The Future of Marriage".
