Produktbeschreibung
Sociologist and director of the National Marriage Project Dr. Bradford Wilcox reveals the social transformations and political posturing threatening the tradition American family and offers a way forward to protect and nurture it. America is in crisis. Trust is falling, crime and economic inequality are soaring, and loneliness and aimlessness are rising. The problems are visible to us all, but the solution is right before our eyes: Get married. According to new research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox, Americans who get married and have children today enjoy the kind of social solidarity and financial stability that result in more meaningful, fulfilling, and prosperous lives than most of their fellow citizens. And their kids and communities are much more likely to flourish. In this hard-hitting book, Wilcox refutes the anti-family messages and policies coming out of Hollywood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America. He shows that the benefits of the American Dream are still there for the taking for every American willing to take the plunge, settle down, and say yes to a family-centered way of life. Doing so will not only save them and their children from downward mobility, instability, and aimlessness; it will save America from ruin ?one marriage at a time.
