The Heritage Foundation think tank is urging the federal government “to save and restore the American family,” kicking off the midterm election year with a call for conservatives to focus on domestic issues. Its recommendations include a “marriage bootcamp,” designed to prepare cohabitating couples for marriage. It proposes a “universal day of rest” that would build upon blue laws that limit alcohol sales in some municipalities. And it discourages online dating, in part because of research showing that “couples who meet online are also less likely to get married." During President Donald Trump’s second term, Heritage's Project 2025 has been used as a blueprint to overhaul U.S. policy.
