Only by removing obstacles to marriage and helping young people wed earlier and stick together can birth rates be sustainably increased. This is a challenging task, and “pro-nuptialism” has even less high-quality research on it than “pro-natalism.” However, policy makers could offer “marriage bonuses” or at least eliminate marriage penalties, like the fact that low-income people can lose their housing or SNAP benefits if they choose to combine their incomes.
I'm not sure, it can be expensive to live how some people do, but maybe it doesn't have to be that costly?

I already have a baby.
There needs to be incentives to have single income households. Nobody wants kids when you just ship the kid off to indoctrination factories

I agree.
It should be possible to have a single family household if you both choose. That is why it is important to remove the marriage penalty from the tax system and all other govt programs.
