With a

woman look at culture from a Christian worldview. I'm John Stone Street with the point. A recent

Vox article snarkily titled,

What Financial Security in America? Better get married?

Complained. That, and I quote, couples get hundreds of legal and economic privileges single people

don't. If that feels unfair, it's because it is.

Though perhaps an especially compelling claim during tax season this few mistakenly

misses, that tax breaks are to incentivize

what's good for society and nothing's better for society or saves the

government more money than flourishing marriages and families. Without them

societies don't even have a stable future.

And laws should reflect that reality.

That's why even tax laws should reflect the value of life, marriage, and family.

Also, they should limit the government in any way that's possible.

When the church cares for those in broken family situations,

assisting single parents and widows who need long-term stable support, the government can stay

out of that lane. In other words, laws are not best understood by what seems fair by Vox.

They're best understood by what's good.
