U.Va. sociologist, Deseret News contributor tells BYU students marriage and families are the ultimate source of happiness
November 28, 2023
“Get married” was the message Tuesday morning for Brigham Young University students who filled the seats of the Marriott Center. At the BYU Forum address, Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology and the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, said marriage plays a significant role in determining a person’s overall happiness throughout their lifetime.
Wilcox, who is also a contributing writer for the Deseret News, and who helped with the Utah law passed to protect kids from risks linked to social media, opened with the Greek myth of King Midas, famous for his ability to turn everything he touched into gold.
