They shape real decisions for millions of people. The U.S. Census Bureau counted 9.8 million one-parent households in 2023. That figure includes 7.3 million mother-only and 2.5 million father-only households. A quarter of American children under 18 live with one parent. The question of romantic success for this…

12/11/2025
