Today we’re joined by Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia and senior fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, to discuss the importance of marriage, the growing trend of polyamory in our culture, and his new book, "Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." We start off with an explanation of why so many are misguided about what marriage actually offers people and why the lie that Christian marriages are doomed to fail is perpetuated so often from both the Left and the Right. We look at the rise in media coverage and normalization of polyamory and discuss what this means for how people see relationships and sex, as well as its disastrous effects on children. Is married life really making us sad, and what do we lose when we, as a society, fear marriage?
