Bill > HRes735

This resolution strongly affirms the critical importance of the nuclear family in American society by designating July as "American Families Month" and making several key declarations. Specifically, the resolution recognizes that stably married mothers and fathers provide the best outcomes for children, highlights the nuclear family as a fundamental building block of civilization, and acknowledges the social and economic benefits of strong family structures. Drawing from various academic and sociological sources, the resolution argues that family stability is a key predictor of positive outcomes for children, contributes to reduced urban violence, helps combat poverty, and provides a social safety net. The resolution also expresses concern about declining marriage rates, which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported reached an all-time low in 2020, and calls for policies that support nuclear families and remove barriers to family formation. Ultimately, the resolution aims to raise public awareness about the significance of strong, stably married families and encourage actions that support and strengthen family structures across the United States.
