Profile | The Bush administration's Wade Horn pushes marriage as an important weapon in the war on poverty | Russ Pulliam

"Fight poverty. Stay married."

That could be a Wade Horn bumper sticker.

Mr. Horn is one of the chief architects of the George W. Bush administration strategy of making the two-parent family central to the battle against poverty. With a Ph.D. in child psychology Mr. Horn is not inclined to a bumper-sticker approach to family issues. He acknowledges the exceptions and tries not to be simplistic. Yet as a general rule, children need a father and mother as a parenting team, he says, and government shouldn't be afraid to wrap its policies around that kind of wisdom.

Mr. Horn's task is to help the Bush administration take a step-by-step approach to stamping family-friendly policies on federal social programs.
