This is the tried and true formula that must now compete with the new formula: grow up, have a child, and go on welfare. Going on welfare is easier than getting married. All the bases are covered and a woman doesn't have to depend on a man to pay the bills. And now that it's an entitlement, it will be impossible to take away. When Johnson was in office, fewer than ten percent of children were born outside marriage. Now it's forty percent. 

Also, given their treatment by family courts, more and more men are becoming reluctant to marry. The benefits that come with marriage can be too easily taken away. In fact, women are now freezing their eggs to give themselves more time to find a father for their children. 

Unless some changes are made, I'm pessimistic about the future of marriage. And pessimistic the new formula will work to provide a decent life for children.
