These days, one cannot tell if such is married. With a lot more women claiming their independence, or refusing to be treated badly, and thus driving off fathers who did so, there are more and more single mothers, and women who have a kid... well, I don't know about other men, but you watch such a woman and you can see if she is someone you would like being with, in the way she treats her kid. Responsibility, honor, faith, care, love. She will show them all, or their lack.
Sorry for the long response. Your statement struck a chord.
