Podcasts about The National Marriage Project

Is marriage still relevant in today's culture? In this illuminating conversation, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons welcome sociologist Dr. Brad Wilcox, author of "Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." Dr. Wilcox presents compelling research that challenges the prevailing cultural narrative that marriage hinders personal fulfillment and success.Drawing from his research as director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, Dr. Wilcox shares how marriage significantly impacts not just individual happiness but society as a whole. He explains how the shift toward "expressive individualism" since the 1970s has undermined marriage, and dispels common myths about marriage including the "flying solo myth," the "family diversity myth," and the "soulmate myth." The data is clear: contrary to popular belief, married people report greater happiness, experience better financial outcomes, and contribute to stronger communities.Rebekah and Dr. Wilcox also discuss the challenges women face in "having it all" and the importance of recognizing different seasons of life. For young adults contemplating marriage, Dr. Wilcox offers practical advice about finding someone with shared values, faith, and dreams—emphasizing that couples who build a foundation of friendship before marriage tend to experience more stable and fulfilling relationships. Whether you're married, single, or parenting young adults, this episode offers valuable insights about why the institution of marriage remains crucial for personal happiness and societal flourishing.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fJoin the Marriage May Challenge:https://www.rebekahlyons.com/marriagemayRegister for the Marriage & Parenting Retreat:November 20-21, 2025 at: https://www.rebekahlyons.com/retreatParticipate in the THINQ resource, Let's Talk Relationships: https://events.thinqmedia.com/relationships

Send us a textThe most common statistic cited regarding marriage and relationships in the United States is that the 50% of all marriages end in divorce. Another one that is gaining traction is that more Americans than ever before will end up unmarried and alone. Nobody likes these statistics. How did we get from the 60s, hairdos and stay at home moms, to a 50% divorce rate and a high probability of dying alone? Should we care? How do we balance the benefits of modernity – women in the workplace, higher incomes, more interesting jobs – with the benefits of structured families, love, and children?  Today, UVA Professor Brad Wilcox is here to explain to us how we can have both: better economic status and better family life. After all, the highest indicator of long-term happiness, meaning, and satisfaction is close relationships. He is the director of The National Marriage Project and the author of Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization. Want to explore more?Emily Oster on The Family Firm, an EconTalk podcast.Jessica Todd Parker on Beauty, Family, and Photography, an EconTalk podcast.Amy Willis, Could Too Much Division of Labor Be Bad? at Speaking of Smith.Erik Rostad, Friedrich Engels' The Origin of the Family, at Speaking of Smith.Patrick Fitzsimmons, Adam on Polygamy and Kin Networks, at AdamSmithWorks.Never miss another AdamSmithWorks update.Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

In an era of evolving societal norms, finding joy remains a central concern for many Americans. While conventional wisdom often points to financial success and personal autonomy as the cornerstones of a fulfilling life, emerging research suggests a different path. Brad Wilcox, the director of the National Marriage Project, delves into the surprising connection between marriage and happiness, challenging popular misconceptions and exploring the profound impact of strong family bonds on individual well-being and societal stability.

Closing out What the Hell's summer book series, Brad Wilcox discusses his book Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization (Broadside Books, 2024) in front of a live audience of the very people on whom Wilcox hopes to impress his message: College students. Today, Americans are getting married and starting families older and older, if at all. But America's youth might be surprised to learn that not only are married people more likely to be more financially stable and successful in their careers than their unmarried peers, but they are generally happier and feel more fulfilled as well. The data is there, we should all Get Married.Brad Wilcox is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he directs The Home Economics Project. Wilcox is also a Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia, where he directs the National Marriage Project, and is a senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies. He is the author of Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization (Broadside Books, 2024).Find Get Married here. Find the transcript here.

What if the institution of marriage holds the key to societal well-being? How does marital status correlate with happiness, prosperity, and positive outcomes for children? Why do some elites downplay marriage's importance in public, even as they themselves often lead marriage-centric lives? Brad Wilcox is a Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia, director of the National Marriage Project and an author. His latest book is titled Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization.Greg and Brad discuss contemporary views on marriage and how shifting societal norms around education, career focus, and individualism have impacted the timing and meaning of marital commitments. Brad Elaborates on what he calls the "soulmate myth" and how this quest for perfect partnership can delay or complicate marriage decisions. They draw intriguing comparisons between Western and arranged marriages, exploring how cultural expectations and extended family involvement contribute to marital success. Brad also dives into the evolving gender roles within marriage and their implications for marital stability and happiness.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What needs to be done to strengthen marriages in general?39:15: We have to help our elites understand that marriage benefits not just them, but people in general. And so, insofar as they're school superintendents, professors, journalists, C-suite executives, they could be taking steps in Hollywood, at Netflix, heading up a school district's approach to relationship education, a New York Times journalist to just do a better job. And I'm not even asking for like a rose-colored take on marriage, but just like a truthful take, so that our ordinary kids out there who are watching a Netflix show or, exposed often indirectly to some kind of major media coverage just come to appreciate more how much marriage matters for them and for any kids that they have down the road. That would be, I think, part of the answer. But we've also got to recognize and realize that there's a financial piece to all this, and that's why addressing things like the marriage penalty and also giving people a more generous child tax credit would be helpful as well.Can the people around you help you choose a better partner?13:48: As we begin to get more serious or think about getting more serious about someone, I think we should pay attention to how our friends and family members react to a potential boyfriend or girlfriend to make a better decision about our future.Is there a way in which your ability to manage conflict within the marriage helps you to manage conflict elsewhere?16:00: Selection effect is part of the story, yes, but having the counsel of a spouse, having the perspective of a spouse as you navigate both work and social challenges of one sort or another, has been invaluable for me, and I think for a lot of people, and we do see when it comes to men, for instance, that guys who are married earn markedly more and make more strategic choices professionally than their peers who aren't married, even controlling things like race, education, profession, and age. So, I do think that being married often endows us with extra benefits, including the counsel and support of our spouse as we navigate life.Should your spouse be your best friend? 14:41: One of the key challenges for contemporary couples is to not rely on their spouse for all of their social support and all of their emotional connections and to recognize that oftentimes, a good girlfriend, a mother, a brother, a guy friend, or a friend is going to be a better place to turn than your spouse. Not putting all of your emotional eggs in the marital basket paradoxically tends to make your marriage more resilient rather than less important.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Robinson CrusoeCapstones vs. CornerstonesIndividualismLimbic CapitalismBowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American CommunityAndrew TateHannah Pearl DavisMelissa KearneyRobert NisbetÉmile DurkheimGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at the University of VirginiaHis Work:The Awfulness of Elite Hypocrisy on MarriageGet Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save CivilizationSoul Mates: Religion, Sex, Love, and Marriage among African Americans and LatinosSoft Patriarchs, New Men: How Christianity Shapes Fathers and Husbands (Morality and Society Series)

Dr. Brad Wilcox's angle is simple—marriage is a good thing for couples, children, communities, and the world. As the Director of the National Marriage Project, he leads a group of committed sociologists studying national marriage trends in America. What he's seeing is alarming. Marriage rates are on a decline, age at first marriage is on the rise, and many people are writing off the institution as outdated and unnecessary. Dr. Wilcox is using all his energy to push back on that narrative, encouraging men and women to pursue marriage because, in his own words, “nothing predicts overall happiness as much as a good marriage.” Whether you are married or not, there's something in here to push your relational life forward. 

Want to be happy? Get married. Studies have shown that marriage is an excellent predictor of increased happiness. Dr. Brad Wilcox, Professor of Sociology, is the Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, and joins Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse to discuss how to be happy, what the numbers say, and explain how wedded parents are critical for children's stability and future successes.  Watch this timeless clip from Dr. Wilcox next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV7LDFIe_J0 With Nicholas H. Wolfinger, Dr. Wilcox is the co-author of Soul Mates: Religion, Sex, Love, and Marriage Among African Americans and Latinos (Oxford, 2016), which shines a spotlight on the lives of strong and happy minority couples. He is also the coauthor of Gender and Parenthood: Biological and Social Scientific Perspectives (Columbia, 2013) with Kathleen Kovner Kline.

Statistics on marriage and family formation in modern America seem to get worse year after year. Why is this the case, and what can be done about it? Prominent sociologist Brad Wilcox joins host Garrett Snedeker for a in-depth discussion of Wilcox's new book "Get Married."

Today's show is part of the insightful "Society Check-In" mini-series.  This episode is all about understanding what's happening in our culture, how we should educate ourselves, and how that knowledge translates to effective leadership everywhere, from the workplace to our own families. This episode is a must-share!  I'm joined by expert Brad Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project, to talk about the research on families and marriage. His new book, Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization, explains how the current erosion of strong families is at the root of many of our society's problems, and it traces this decline back to anti-family influences in entertainment, politics, media, education, and big business. Join Brad and I as we talk about:  What types of people are the happiest How marriage affects our happiness Four groups that are forging strong marriages Ways our community can support struggling marriages The family first model Teaching our kids the success sequence Favorite quotes:  9:27 audio - “There are four groups today, Asian Americans, religious Americans, college-educated Americans, and conservative Americans who are more likely to be married today and either more likely to be happily married or stably married.” 10:18 audio - “For most couples, especially those with kids, having a reliable breadwinner in the picture is key.” 15:26 audio- “Serving others and being there for others actually makes us happier.” 16:57 audio - “In general, we see that both men and women who are married parents are the happiest Americans today and that is because our kids bring us not just stress and drama but also a lot of meaning and joy.”  18:25 audio - “For young adults who do those three things, get a high school degree, are working, and get married their odds of being poor as they head into their late 20s and 30s are just 3 and their odds of being in the middle class or higher are 86%.” 22:04 audio - “Couples that are embedded in a church community or some kind of synagogue or temple are more likely to avoid divorce because they are surrounded by people who tend to prioritize marriage and family.” Coaching this week: How to Make Progress (Audio 23:47)  In today's coaching session, I talked about how necessary it is to take a small step forward, even without perfect clarity. What will inaction cost you? I also discussed some quick ways to commit to taking action—God will guide you as you go.

Is it even worth voting if our elections are rigged? Will EdChoice expansion dilute Christian schools' ability to preach the Gospel and provide a wholesome environment?

Before answering your questions, the men also give their initial reactions and thoughts on the Presidential Primary Election results from Tuesday. Check out these episodes mentioned on the podcast today: What's Going On at the Texas Border? With Lora Ries - In this episode, the men also discuss the advice Alistair Begg gave to one grandmother to attend her grandson's homosexual/trans wedding ceremony to show her love and why CCV disagrees with his advice, but also why it's unfair to categorize him as "woke." Defy the Elites and Get Married with Brad Wilcox - Brad Wilcox, a sociologist and Director of the National Marriage Project, reveals the power of marriage to break the poverty cycle and create thriving, stable communities. We'll be back on The Narrative with Volume 10 next month!

Here at the dawn of the engagement-maximization era, the sex wars have gone nuclear. Every day, despite a pretty exhaustive “mute” list, my Twitter and TikTok feeds are inundated by sanpaku-eyed influencers opining the absolute impossibility of modern love. Pearl Davis, whose star rose ex nihilo as the first wife of the red pill right, has made it her mission to convince men that marriage is primarily a raw deal for them. Modern women are all dishonest w****s, she insists. Even the speaker? Compare that to the swarms of liberal feminist influencers who teeth begin to gnash every time Ballerina Farms makes a new post. She peddles a dangerous lie that being a stay at home mom is ideal, let alone a real possibility, they whine.In a sea of bad (and confused, if not dishonest) PR, the institution of marriage needs defending.In today's episode, I chat with Brad Wilcox, Professor of Sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, Future of Freedom Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Having recently authored Get Married: Why Americans Should Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families and Save Civilization (Harper Collins, 2024), Wilcox came to present the case for marriage as good, not just for society or children or taxation purposes, as it has been previously argued, but for men and women as individuals.Enjoy!

Cultural elites claim marriage is obsolete, but recent data shows:  Children who grow up with a married mom and dad overcome poverty at high rates Boys from intact families are more likely to graduate high school than go to jail Married Christian women report the highest levels of relational satisfaction Brad Wilcox, a sociologist and Director of the National Marriage Project, joins CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, and Communications Director Mike Andrews on The Narrative to reveal the power of marriage to break the poverty cycle and create thriving, stable communities. Aaron and David also discuss the leaked files from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which prove that the so-called global authority on "gender medicine" doesn't meet the standards of evidence-based care.

Newt Gingrich Interviews Author of ‘Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization.' Brad Wilcox on Get Married Newt's World  Feb 11 2024   Other Episodes University of Virginia sociologist and director of the National Marriage Project, Dr. Brad Wilcox discusses his new book, Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization. Wilcox argues that marriage is a key predictor of happiness and that society flourishes when marriages are strong. He also highlights the negative impacts of the decline in marriage rates, such as increased loneliness. Wilcox suggests that cultural, policy, and religious changes are needed to support marriage and family life. He also emphasizes the importance of character and shared values in choosing a spouse. Despite current trends, Wilcox remains hopeful that individuals can forge strong and stable marriages. About the book: Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization  by Brad Wilcox (Author) A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read What's the recipe for happiness? If you listen to liberal elites or red pill influencers, you'd say it's making money, living for yourself, and staying single without kids—and you'd be wrong. Nothing predicts happiness better than a good marriage.  According to new research by the University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox, our 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. Despite this, 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 coming out of Holly­wood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America that have weakened marriage. Along the way, he knocks down a number of myths they've propa­gated. He reveals: Both men and women who get and stay married accumulate much greater wealth than people who don't marry. Married men and women with families report more meaningful lives, compared with their single and childless peers. Couples who take a “we-before-me” approach to married life—by, for instance, sharing joint checking accounts—are happier and less divorce-prone than couples who do not. Couples who forge “family-first” marriages—characterized by frequent date nights, family fun time, and chores done with the kids—enjoy the happiest marriages. Wilcox spotlights four groups—Asian American, Conservative, Faithful, and Strivers—who have built strong, 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 for our civilization more than ever. And for men and women looking to establish strong, stable, and happy unions for themselves and their children, Get Married reveals the road forward.   Order Newt's Latest Book: March to the Majority: The Real Story of the Republican Revolution!

The marriage rate has come down 65% since 1970. There are multiple factors behind this decrease, but one of them is what we might call the poor branding that surrounds marriage in the modern day. From all corners of our culture and from both ends of the ideological spectrum come messages that marriage is an outdated institution, that it hinders financial success and personal fulfillment, and that it's even unimportant when it comes to raising kids.My guest would say that these ideas about marriage are very wrong, and he doesn't come at it from an emotionally-driven perspective, but from what's born out by the data. Dr. Brad Wilcox is a sociologist who heads the nonpartisan National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, which studies marriage and family life. He's also the author of Get Married.

On the Lean Out podcast, we've talked a lot about plummeting birth rates in the West, about high rates of unhappiness among modern women, about the loneliness epidemic in our society, and about the crisis unfolding among men, with large numbers of suicides and overdoses. Our guest on the program today says there's a factor we should consider with each of these issues — and that is low marriage rates.
