The Bible is clear about that. Our husband or wife is our closest neighbor, and we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Children are a blessing from God. My wife and I were married 14 years before God gave us a daughter. While there’s no guarantee as to how our children will turn out, following God’s rules for discipline is necessary. "While no chastening for the present seems to be joyous, but grievous, nevertheless afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby." God hates divorce.

It's both cultural and genetic. Women pick different fields and women bear children, which tends to interupt their careers more than it interupts the careers of their sperm doners. When industries take 20+ uninterupted years of 50-60 hour weeks to rise to their top, you'll statistically find a lower percentage of women willing to do what it takes, relative to men. Add the historical (and still existing) bias of women to lower-paid fields, and there you have it.

It is no surprise that their familial wealth rarely lasts past the third generation." That is certainly a different take on the old "shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves in the three generations" saying. Never looked at it that way. Regards, TDL “Wealthy parents get so busy that they cannot raise their children, so they hand the kids off to those who are often far less capable.
