Mark McDonald is a psychiatrist in Los Angeles.

He previously chatted to me about masculinity.

This time, he chatted to me about why the traditional family matters.

As he points out, there are exceptions, but it's important to remember that exceptions are not the rule.

Whether we like it or not, the traditional family matters.
