From the Administration of Children and Families, Wade F. Horn, Ph.D. pled for policies to strengthen marriages. He said:

"The reason we have come so far in promoting healthy marriage in America is because... President [Bush] understands that the cry of the hearts of so many children is for their families and for the important role fathers can play in their lives. And he understands that the one important way to answer that cry is to become serious about renewing marriage.”

During his first year in office, President Bush said this about the need to renew fatherhood by strengthening families:

 “None of us is perfect. And so no marriage and no family is perfect. After all, we all are human. Yet, we need fathers and families precisely because we are human. We all live, it is said, in the shelter of one another. And our urgent hope is that one of the oldest hopes of humanity is this, to turn the hearts of children toward their parents, and the hearts of parents toward their young.”

Turning the hearts of children to their parents, and the parents to their young is, indeed, the great hope of our efforts to strengthen marriages in America. I know it is the great hope of members of this subcommittee as well.”
