this, but entirely sincerely, because it's awesome when you are certain that everyone around you is there because of real bonds of affection and not a terror of being judged Outgroup

The family is that group. A group united by love. Things that weaken the family-like both parents working and easy divorce-should be discouraged

This is a monstrous conclusion. Locking people who don't like each other anymore into a relationship will, at best, create a Potemkin facade of a working marriage, the outer appearance without the inner blessings. It is subjugation and misery.

The only reason for any family to stick together is "I love you and I want you in my life" *any* force beyond that is abhorrent. If someone doesn't want me around, I don't want them around because Society's made it inconvenient for them to leave. That's awful.

So I a policy of paying women for each child would help them reach their preference for more children and, if they choose to, stay home

Marriage is a pretty bad, rough proxy for child-guardianship; granting that one's to have government at all, and that government has a legitimate interest in promoting child-rearing at all, it always made sense to me to assign resources to child-caretakers, and not 'the married'.

Right, but I think the best child raisers are two biological parents who love him, which is why married couples who have kids should be granted extra support and societal praise

substantial disagree there, but we can take comfort in the reality that the policy options each of us alternately espouses and abhors from one another are equally unlikely to be implemented.
