| Zusammenfassung: | "Fragile families"—unmarried parents who struggle emotionally and financially—are one of the primary targets of the Healthy Marriage Initiative, a federal policy that has funded marriage education programs in nearly every state. These programs, which encourage marriage by teaching relationship skills, are predicated on the hope that married couples can provide a more emotionally and financially stable home for their children. Healthy marriage policy promotes a pro-marriage culture in which two-parent married families are considered the healthiest. It also assumes that marriage can be a socioeconomic survival mechanism for low-income families, and an engine of upward mobility. Through interviews with couples and her own observations and participation in marriage education courses, Jennifer M. Randles challenges these assumptions and critically examines the effects of such classes on participants. She takes the reader inside healthy marriage classrooms to reveal how their curricula are reflections of broader issues of culture, gender, governance, and social inequality. In analyzing the implementation of healthy marriage policy, Randles questions whether it should target individual behavior or the social and economic context of that behavior. The most valuable approach, she concludes, will not be grounded in notions of middle-class marriage culture. Instead, it will reflect the fundamental premise that love and commitment thrive most within the context of social and economic opportunity |

Randles New York, NY Columbia University Press [2017] © 2017 1 online resource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed May 05, 2017) "Fragile families"—unmarried parents who struggle emotionally and financially—are one of the primary targets of the Healthy Marriage Initiative, a federal policy that has funded marriage education programs in nearly every state. These programs, which encourage marriage by teaching relationship skills, are predicated on the hope that married couples can provide a more emotionally and financially stable home for their children. Healthy marriage policy promotes a pro-marriage culture in which two-parent married families are considered the healthiest. It also assumes that marriage can be a socioeconomic survival mechanism for low-income families, and an engine of upward mobility. Through interviews with couples and her own observations and participation in marriage education courses, Jennifer M. Randles challenges these assumptions and critically examines the effects of such classes on participants. She takes the reader inside healthy marriage classrooms to reveal how their curricula are reflections of broader issues of culture, gender, governance, and social inequality. In analyzing the implementation of healthy marriage policy, Randles questions whether it should target individual behavior or the social and economic context of that behavior. The most valuable approach, she concludes, will not be grounded in notions of middle-class marriage culture. Instead, it will reflect the fundamental premise that love and commitment thrive most within the context of social and economic opportunity In English Geschichte 1990-2010 gnd rswk-swf Family life education United States Family policy United States Marriage United States Poor families Services for United States Unterschicht (DE-588)4062024-4 gnd rswk-swf Elternschaft (DE-588)4152054-3 gnd rswk-swf Ehe (DE-588)4013630-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Ungleichheit (DE-588)4055736-4 gnd rswk-swf Stabilität (DE-588)4056693-6 gnd rswk-swf Sozialpolitik (DE-588)4055879-4 gnd rswk-swf USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Soziale Ungleichheit (DE-588)4055736-4 s Ehe (DE-588)4013630-9 s Stabilität (DE-588)4056693-6 s Unterschicht (DE-588)4062024-4 s Elternschaft (DE-588)4152054-3 s Sozialpolitik (DE-588)4055879-4 s Geschichte 1990-2010 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-0-231-17030-7 https://doi.org/10.7312/rand17030 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
