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\\u2014and you'd be wrong. Nothing predicts happiness better than a good marriage.\\n\\xa0According to new research by the University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox, our kids and communities\\u2014not to mention our civilization as a whole\\u2014are 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.\\nIn this hard-hitting book, Wilcox reveals the anti-family messages and policies coming out of Holly\\xadwood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America that have weakened marriage. Along the way, he knocks down a number of myths they\\u2019ve propa\\xadgated. He reveals:\\n Both men and women who get and stay married accumulate much greater wealth than people who don\\u2019t marry.\\n Married men and women with families report more meaningful lives, compared with their single and childless peers.\\n Couples who take a \\u201cwe-before-me\\u201d approach to married life\\u2014by, for instance, sharing joint checking accounts\\u2014are happier and less divorce-prone than couples who do not.\\n Couples who forge \\u201cfamily-first\\u201d marriages\\u2014characterized by frequent date nights, family fun time,\\xa0and\\xa0chores done with the kids\\u2014enjoy the happiest marriages.\\nWilcox spotlights four groups\\u2014Asian American, Conservative, Faithful, and Strivers\\u2014who have built strong, stable marriages by defying the me-first mes\\xadsages of our elites in favor of a family-first way of life.\\nThis is a book for anyone who wants to under\\xadstand why, even as fewer men and women tie the knot, America\\u2019s 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,\\xa0Get Married\\xa0reveals the road forward.\\n\\xa0\\nOrder Newt's Latest Book: March to the Majority: The Real Story of the Republican Revolution!
