In this episode of The Family Ties, co-hosts Frank Abdul Shaheed & 
 Faridah Abdul-Tawwab Brown discuss the importance of the family unit as a prescription for society. They reflect on personal experiences and cite statistical data to highlight issues such as the decline of marriage and the rise of out-of-wedlock births, particularly within the African American community. They emphasize the need for a return to familial and societal structures grounded in spiritual and moral values, as mandated by God, to secure a just and prosperous society. The episode also touches on the significance of discipline, communal support, and the economic and social implications of deviating from these traditional values.
