I have heard from early boomers about what life was like with a whole family under one roof. They were financially well off and the family was whole but was it always better for the child? Not always. The man or woman would be cheating behind back. They could be emotionally separated and sometimes fighting with the child stuck in the household hearing all of that knowing that it did as much damage or even worse, emotional scarring long lasting effects. So while financially they were better off it was not always a positive story for the couple and their children. So yes there were positives it was as damaging for the children till the couple divorced. Yeah divorce also has negative consequences for a child seeing their parents separate but also financially. Anyway that is just my thoughts after hearing from early boomers what life was like. I am not sure how we can replicate the 50s in a more modernized society. Families have always been dysfunctional. One emotional and the other financial.

On average it worked out better.  Trust me on this, I am in a position to know.  Look up the crime statistics on children from single parent households some time.  It is not a pretty picture.
