The German government has, for the first time, launched a “Loneliness Monitor”. Unsurprisingly it finds, among other things, that single parents suffer significantly more loneliness than non-single parents. Is that any wonder? For decades there has been a media barrage against marriage and the traditional family. Then the tables were turned, and today they raise to the status of marriage unions other than the established heterosexual marriage based on fidelity and reliability. And then they redefine the concept of family as wherever children and adults live together.
