It puts you in a better position to have the money you need and the spousal support you need to provide kids with even basic nutrition. For some families the constraint is money. For others it's time.

If you get your ass through school, you'll make more money. If you have someone to raise kids with, between the two of you the time can be managed.

Family values. It affects everything, even kids' nutrition.
I think I agree more with this statement then anything you have ever said. People don't plain to fail they fail to plain. Sounds stupid but it is the truth.
