The foundation of thriving communities is strong families. That idea resonates with many of us, but the data also demonstrates it. Join Dr. Brad Wilcox and NAE President Walter Kim as they confront common yet false narratives about marriage in society today.

This conversation covers why marriage not only benefits those who have committed to forging strong marriages but also society as a whole. You’ll also hear Brad and Walter discuss:

• The anti-family messaging that afflicts our culture today;
• Why segments of society that forgo marriage face higher risk of deaths of despair;
• Research-based encouragement for young people, in particular, to get married; and
• Factors that go into forging a healthy and long-lasting marriage.
