I'm not saying that single family is better. Here's a quick excerpt from my conclusion:

The general point here that is being made is not that single parents are in general better in parenting than regular couples. The ability of the parents to love, protect,
spend time and communicate with the child is a lot more important in raising a child than whether the parents are single, couple, unmarried or gay.

Ah, I see where you're going with it. Disregard my previous comment.
