The Center for Marriage and Families seeks to study and strengthen marriage as an institution that opens social opportunity, nurtures bonds between parents and children, organizes the care of the vulnerable from the beginning to the end of life, and enables the whole person to thrive.
The Center's tools are rigorous research, lively writing based on strong scholarship and powerful stories, engaging ideas in the public square, and contributing intellectually to innovations in public and social policy. The Center is part of the Institute for American Values, a non-profit, nonpartisan think tank in New York City.
