Get hitched. Have kids. Save society from anti-marriage progressive elites
Description
The statistics are undeniable: married people tend to be happier, amass more wealth and live longer, healthier lives than unmarried people, as sociologist Brad Wilcox tells Brian this week. Marriage also reduces child poverty and makes communities safer. So why are so many so-called progressives in politics, the media and other influential spheres so invested in destroying the traditions of marriage and familyhood? There’s something bizarre afoot, notes Wilcox — author of the new book Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization — when society’s elites are predominantly married with children, gaining all the benefits that come with that, even as they discredit traditional families … for everyone else.
