Description:



University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox explains how our ruling class publicly disparages marriage - the institution most likely to deliver prosperity and happiness to ordinary Americans - while privately embracing it.

America is in crisis. Happiness is falling, loneliness and despair are rising, too many schools are riddled by fights and failure, crime is unacceptably high, and the American Dream is out of reach for millions. The problems are visible to us all, but virtually no one is talking about the solution that matters most: Marriage.

New research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox shows that Americans who get married and have children today are leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless. In fact, nothing predicts happiness in life better than a good marriage--not even a hefty bank account or a great career. And kids and communities--not to mention our civilization as a whole--are much more likely to flourish when the state of our unions is strong, according to Wilcox, who directs the National Marriage Project at U.Va. 

But our country is in crisis because record numbers of Americans are not succeeding at getting or staying married. In this hard-hitting book, Wilcox reveals the anti-family messages and policies that have weakened marriage coming out of Hollywood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America. 

The good news, however, is that millions of Americans are succeeding at marriage. Dr. Wilcox spotlights four groups--Asian, conservative, religious, and college-educated Americans--who are building strong and stable marriages by defying the me-first messages of our elites in favor of a family-first way of life. 

This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why, even as fewer men and women tie the knot, America's most fundamental institution matters more than ever for our civilization. And for men and women looking to forge strong, stable, and happy unions for themselves and their children, Get Married reveals the road forward.
