If you’re not gonna do it for the kids…

Maggie Gallagher has been making eloquent, sophisticated arguments proving simple (some would say self-evident) truths for years now: Marriage is good for spouses, children, and society at large; or, in her words, married people are happier, healthier, and better off financially.

To Maggie’s arguments we can add another: married people leave smaller carbon footprints; divorce hurts the environment . So, if you’re not gonna do it for the kids, do it for Mother Nature.
