"Couples who worship together divorce roughly 30% to 50% less often, the @UVA sociologist Brad Wilcox finds." @WSJopinion wsj.com/opinion/fatherhood-a…
"If you have friends who are an encouragement to your marriage and commitment as a parent, you are way more likely to be doing the same thing."
"When you first have kids, it is a huge challenge... but parents in America are more likely to be happy with their lives, compared to their childless peers."

"A sobering new report on young men in America makes it plain: Men without work, purpose or a family to provide for tend to flounder. And when men flounder, they don’t suffer alone. The women in their lives suffer. Their communities suffer. The wreckage is shared." @Deseret

"Over 2/3 of young adults" are not dating regularly. "If trends continue, 1-in-3 young adults will not get married. The implications are staggering: a generation of permanent bachelors—& bachelorettes—untethered from the bonds that have given life its deepest meaning." @wapo
Join @BradWilcoxIFS Tuesday, February 10th, for a lecture on why so many young adults today are struggling with dating and marriage and what we can do about it.
