Get Married by Brad Wilcox, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Sociologist and director of the National Marriage Project Dr. Bradford Wilcox reveals the social transformations and political posturing threatening the traditional American family and offers a way forward to protect and nurture it. America is in crisis. Trust is falling, crime and economic inequality are soaring, and loneliness and aimlessness are rising. The problems are visible to us all, but the solution is right before our eyes: Get married. According to new research by Dr. Wilcox, Americans who get married and have children today typically enjoy the kind of companionship and financial stability that result in more meaningful, happy, and prosperous lives than men and women who are single and childless. In fact, nothing predicts happiness in life better than a good marriage. And kids and communities are much more likely to flourish when marriage is strong, according to Wilcox, who directs the National Marriage Project at U. Va. In this hard-hitting book, Wilcox refutes the anti-family messages and policies coming out of Hollywood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America. He shows that the benefits of the American Dream are still there for the taking for every American willing to take the plunge, settle down, and say yes to a family-centered way of life. Doing so will not only save them and their children from downward mobility, instability, and aimlessness; it will save America from ruin —one marriage at a time. | Get Married by Brad Wilcox, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
