Nearly three decades of research evaluating the impact of family structure on the health and well-being of children demonstrates that children living with their married, biological parents consistently have better physical, emotional, and academic well-being. Pediatricians and society should promote the family structure that has the best chance of producing healthy children. The best scientific literature to date suggests that, with the exception of parents faced with unresolvable marital violence, children fare better when parents work at maintaining the marriage. Consequently, society should make every effort to support healthy marriages and to discourage married couples from divorcing.
近三十年的研究评估了家庭结构对儿童健康和幸福的影响，结果表明，与已婚亲生父母生活在一起的孩子在身体、情感和学业方面的幸福感始终更好。儿科医生和社会应该提倡最有可能培养出健康孩子的家庭结构。迄今为止，最好的科学文献表明，除了面临无法解决的婚姻暴力的父母外，当父母努力维持婚姻时，孩子的情况会更好。因此，社会应该尽一切努力支持健康的婚姻，并劝阻已婚夫妇离婚。
