The data doesn't lie. Getting married and staying married benefits
women, children... and men. Social scientist, Professor Brad Wilcox, gives
convincing proof that marriage, despite being much maligned today, is actually
a better way to live, well, happily ever after. But there are some caveats.
First, the myth of the soul mate. No human is perfect and so no potential
spouse, no matter how much he or she makes your heart flutter, is capable of
fulfilling your every desire. Sooner or later the butterflies go free and what
remains is the reality of a relationship that takes work. But it's well worth
it.
On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Wilcox, Professor of
sociology at the University of Virginia and a "Future of Freedom" Fellow
at the Institute for Family Studies, breaks down the evidence he found while
researching his new book, "GET MARRIED: Why Americans must Defy the
Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." It's a tall order,
but the data shows that coming from a two-parent household is a better
reassurance that a child will do well in school, be happier and have a better
chance of achieving the American dream. Case in point, Ivy League colleges and
universities have an overabundance of overachievers with one common
denominator, the majority come from stable, two parent households. Wilcox
points out, this is actually odd since many professors at these liberal
establishments tout diversity of family types--single parent, parents never
married --but in their own lives represent the more traditional, married
parents with children.
