Only well-fathered families can thrive. Here’s how to build yours to last – forever.

Men and women might be politically equal, but they are not functionally identical. This matters most where we are most different: Men cannot birth or suckle infants – and women cannot head successful families.

In this week’s Church of Splendor homily, we take up the topic of building well-fathered families – Clan Testudo families:

The marriage contract shown in the video is linked and explained here: “5 reasons every grown-up couple should marry – with an ironclad marriage contract to make their new family last forever.” Discussing that contract – prior to marrying – will tell you everything you need to know about your prospective spouse. And, I should think obviously, no man should marry without having his right to his marriage, his children, his family protected by a marriage contract like this.

Only well-fathered families thrive. There is no way women can supplant men in the family – for the simple reason that it is his family or there is no family. People who marry this way will stay married, and everyone else will founder.
