☆ ‘Marriage Predicts Happiness Better than Education, Work and Money’ - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-03-30 | by ( Nicholas Kristof | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
With little notice, the United States may be crossing a historic milestone in family structure, one that may shape our health, wealth and happiness. Historically, most American adults were married — more than two-thirds as recently as 1970. But the married share has crept downward, and today only about half of adults are married. And to be clear, it’s more of the former than the latter.”Wilcox believes that perhaps a third of today’s young Americans will never marry. Survey data indicates that married couples on average report more happiness, build more wealth, live longer and raise more successful children than single parents or cohabiting couples, though there are plenty of exceptions.

☆ Brad Wilcox Thinks American Culture Is Undervaluing Marriage - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-02-26 | by ( Jane Coaston | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
As of 2021, around 25 percent of 40-year-old Americans are not married — the highest percentage ever recorded. While divorce rates have plummeted from their early 1980s high, fewer people are choosing to marry in the first place. Yes, around two million Americans get married every year (and you probably have the save-the-dates on your refrigerator door to prove it). I spoke with Mr. Wilcox about getting married, staying married and whether the government should help individuals find partners. How did we get to this point where, as you write, we are seeing the “closing of the American heart”?

☆ Partnership Report: Three Books on Marriage

Photo: Bob Thomas/Getty ImagesMarriage seems to be having a moment. In “The Two-Parent Privilege,” Melissa S. Kearney describes how marriage helps children flourish. Brad Wilcox implores adults in a forthcoming polemic, “Get Married,” to find happiness and security the old-fashioned way. A critic in New York magazine bemoans the “marital revivalism” of such wedlock proponents, while, online, arguments rage over the practical value of marriage to the individual: Are women happier single or as wives? Why should men even bother to marry, given the calculus of risks versus rewards?

☆ Opinion | To Be Happy, Marriage Matters More Than Career
  + stars: | 2023-08-17 | by ( David Brooks | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When I’m around young adults I like to ask them how they are thinking about the big commitments in their lives: what career to go into, where to live, whom to marry. Most of them have thought a lot about their career plans. But my impression is that many have not thought a lot about how marriage will fit into their lives. In 2006, 50 percent of young adults said it was very important for a couple to marry if they intended to spend the rest of their lives together. But by 2020 only 29 percent of young adults said that.

Almost 90% of the world's population now live in countries with falling marriage rates. One major factor is the changing economy," said Brad Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at University of Virginia. "Governments all over the world are worried because of economic implications," said Leng Leng Thang of National University of Singapore. The decline in marriage rates is turning into a demographic crisis for Japan — which is the world's third-largest economy and home to the world's oldest population. Watch the video above to learn what causes increasing number of couples around the world to opt out of marriage.
