do you legitimately believe marrying two criminals together will fix their issues with poverty and criminal activity, cause you should explain your reasoning a bit. parroting this data doesn't really prove anything other than black people marry far more infrequently than white, i dont think any of us understand your train of logic connecting marriage with doing better in life.
actually more like if they actually had families instead of raising children in poverty with no fathers and no support outcomes across the board would be better for the next generation. even more than that, marriage has an effect on the current generation by increasing life expectancy and lowering the likelihood of criminality
