Domestic Violence at the Root
This presents as the most important issue for family dissolution or divorce among low-income families (Haskins et al. 2005). Research conducted by Kathrun Edin and her team found that many poor mothers are willing to bear children even for men they consider unsuitable for marriage. Often, it is because these women believe they are in love with these men and that having children may improve these men's attitude in the long-term. But these women are aware that their boyfriends or cohabiters have problems with forging long-term relationships. Quarrels often grow out of chronic infidelity, physical abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction, criminal activity and imprisonment. Research showed that these men harbor similar doubts about their women (Haskins et al.).
Some of the problems in these situations and relationships may be managed by quality marriage education when combined with employment, mental health and other support services (Haskins et al. 2005). Some cohabiters may and do respond to faith-based programs, some to employment programs, some to intervention to addiction, and some to relationship skills training. Diversified programs may prove effective if funds for marriage education and for services come in. The strength of the research and demonstration approach can derive from the fusion. Trying new ideas with sufficient coverage and evaluations on what programs work, solutions can begin to appear (Haskins et al.).
Those behind the experiment must, however, keep in mind two cautions (Haskins et al. 2005). One is that these programs must keep the principle of individual choice paramount. Coercion must be ruled out. The other is that there should only be modest expectations from the experiment. Success cannot come right away. In the immediate future, children will continue to live in single-parent settings (Haskins et al.).#

Another important area of change relates to sexual norms and values in the family. Studies show that there has a definite growth in more permissive attitudes towards sex and particularly premarital sex. The number of people who see sex between an unmarried man and woman as "wrong" dropped from 36% in 1972 to 24% in 1996. (the Emerging 21st Century American Family) These statistics indicate a change for the earlier view

Rather than hysterically creating units to force fathers to do their duty, the underlying reasons for their lack of dutiful response should be investigated. Once the root causes of family decline are investigated, more effective remedies can be put in place.
