Patching up the American family
What Maher means by this is that the statistics of what happens to divorced families such as being on welfare, juvenile delinquency and substance abuse is such a problem? They are trying to support and build healthy happy families and marriages that to control the problem caused by divorce.

NOSTALGIA AS IDEOLOGY
Coontz is talking about the downward spiral that marriage had become, and that if the trend continues that the public will no longer accept marriage a special rite like it should be. Even though there is no magic pill to fix everything that is wrong with marriage statistics today we have to try to start somewhere.
Focus: Resurrecting and supporting a happy healthy family life in modern marriages.
SUP: the downward spiral of holding marriage as a sacred life time institution, of what it used to be.
SUP: help support marriages it to improve work-life policies so that couples and families can spend more time together and build stronger bonds, and possibly provide counseling.
SUP: making it easier for marriages to succeed.
The nostalgia that the time has stolen away from the people that grew up with a loving consistent devoted family is not just a dream anymore now on the rebound while more people strive to have a happy and healthy marriage and family life their dreams can become realities, in nostalgia as ideology.

MORAL PARENT, MORAL CHILD
What the sentence means is that if the parents set a crack addicted, lying, disillusioned, wrongheaded, poverty ridden example for their kids the children won't know what a moral was if it bit them. You can't expect a good well rounded child to come from a home where there is nothing but sorrow and hate. Parents have to set a good foundation for their children and to lead by example.
FOCUS: To improve the morals of children in single parent homes parents must put quality over quantity and lead their children by setting a good example.
SUP: parents need to be less narcissistic
SUP: an on-going trusting relationship with a mature ethical adult strongly determines the ethical development of that child.
SUP: children of depressed parents who lash out at their children have more struggles with everything
Moral parent, moral child: family structure matters less to a child's development than the quality of the parenting. This story is about regardless weather a child has a single mom or dads if we are worried about the morals of our youngest people the youngest people get their behaviors from their parents. So if you have a moral parent you have a moral child regardless of the amount of parents in the home.

Old cultures and new international families
Passage meant that the story of Anne-Marie hopes to be an illustrative example of how the Caribbean immigrants are using child-minding as they immigrate to the United States.
FOCUS: Anne-Marie an immigrant from Trinidad in the Caribbean uses child-minding while she is away from her children throughout her new life in America. Her culture still keeps her close with family that live in different countries around the world.
SUP: mothers who immigrates from the Caribbean often rely on child-minding
SUP: when newly arrived to the US A-M's infant sons stayed in the crib bean with her mother to be cared for while she put down roots.
SUP: They had a large international family that spanned several countries yet were all bonded and close to each other.
Old cultures and new international families: the old cultures of such as child minding are coming to America with the immigrants through these practices they create strong bonds with family members far away and help to create international families
I think that marriage is an institution that should not be taken lightly. Things seem simple in the beginning but they complicate as they grow with children, mortgages and life. I think that people should not get married if they are just going to get divorced in a few years of months. Marriages take allot of work and I agree with tee statement from Nostalgia as Ideology that "The most constructive way to support marriages is to improve work-life policies so that couples can spend more time with each other and their kids." This is the real world and even if you can’t spend as much time as you want with your children it has got to be quality over quantity. Children should not be in a bad marriage and a parent might be home all day but how much time gets spent with the child. In a bad marriage there is substance abuse, domestic abuse and possibly sexual abuse towards the children. That no place for children to be, so even if there is a constant parent around it may not be the best thing. I agree with the Moral parent moral child essay on the fact that parents have to lead by example to create well balanced and behaved children. They are healthier, do better in school and are probably not the school bully. I think that the titles of husband, wife, mother and father should be taken with pride and doing the best you can in a marriage or as a parent. Children and spouses are not as returnable as most people may think either you are labeled as a failure as a parent or you lose a lot of money and half of your things in a nasty divorce when you quit nobody wins. When you become a parent or a spouse you are saying that you’re an adult and are able to be held accountable for you and you family’s actions. When it boils down to it there are times when the only people left to lean on is our family.
