- Strivers income, success oriented, hardworking Engaged Encounter great marriages don’t just happen.
Liberals who espouse family diversity for others are themselves a traditional model of family. Jeffersonian Award UVA 150K/4 yrs 80 % of the recipients mother/father live at same address[1]. Ivy schools survey 23/25 intact homes Yale class.

What do these 4 groups predominantly share. Note all put an end more important than the lived means. Living towards an objective goal, over rides other things. We don’t live on the outlier, does not pertain to goal.
Every one goal delayed gratification. Not looking for titillation. Not marrying fulfils me. Not a romanticism. There is authentic romantic. Many true love stories. Love defined willing the good of the other.
All 4 of the groups strive goal, delayed gratification, seeking the good of spouse and children
Something joins them, commonality.
Not innate to human person. All persons can aspire to these 3 things regardless of where you come from
Directed to a common goal
Delayed gratification
Seek/ will the good of the other
All can aspire to this.
Life rightly ordered
Highschool diploma, finishing what you started as it were
No promiscuous sex
Married
Children after wedding
These things matter, advantage so high. Monumental catastrophe. Live in fallen world. Pious men seduced; literature give us examples.
In general, ordained by God.
