Arvin Vohra: Marriage isn't magic but skills can be learned

Not a single study says, marriage provides some magic, sacred, special, irreplaceable value. They just say that it provides supervision and money. Two parent families aren't magic. My advice: look at the details of successes. What we do in my business: we look at the outliers. Instead of studying parents who are kind of successful, we study parents who were shockingly, unbelievably successful. Talk, in detail, with successful parents, or talk to successful individuals about their own parents. Source: Facebook posting on 2018 Maryland gubernatorial race Apr 4, 2017
