What if the most powerful boost for happiness, health, and stability isn’t found in a pill, a paycheck, or a new app—but in your marriage?


This week we welcome Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at UVA, director of the National Marriage Project, and author of Get Married. He unpacks why marriage matters now more than ever—not only for kids, but for adults too. From lower mortality rates to greater joy, stronger finances, and deeper meaning, the evidence is in: marriage still wins.


Brad also reveals the 5 C’s of thriving marriages—Communion, Children, Commitment, Cash, and Community—and why simple habits like regular date nights and shared rituals make all the difference. We explore what elites aren’t saying about family life, how to de-politicize marriage, and why choosing “we” over “me” may be the most revolutionary step you take.


Tune in and discover why marriage isn’t just personal—it’s vital to our civilizational!
