Does marriage make you happier?
Since 1980, happiness has fallen only 1 % pt for married young adults. For unmarried, 15 % pts.
In an age marked by greater atomization, the marriage advantage hasn't just persisted, it's growing.

If you look at current employment status, only women who have stepped out of the workplace "have above-replacement fertility rates," according to @lymanstoneky.

Young adults are experiencing a "happiness crash"—but marriage is a firewall.
New @grantjbailey @FamStudies finds no decline in happiness among married young men and women.👇🏽
They told a generation of ambitious people:
Build the career.
Make the money.
Travel.
Keep options open.
Marry later.
But the data keeps saying something awkward:
Stable marriage is one of the strongest wealth-building advantages in America.
Higher assets.
Lower poverty risk.
More stability.
Better outcomes for kids.
Meanwhile many elites publicly tout #luxurybeliefs - like marriage is optional - while privately enjoying traditional family lives...
Talk left. Walk right.
Hot take:
Marriage and family are not side quests to success.
They’re the engine room.

Too much fun with @Delta #ai. @SouthwestAir, how does your #bot compare? @MiddleSeat, are my expectations too high? Real problem was, I came there for help, and they started by trying to sell Delta Vacations, whatever those may be! Bad #marketing! Failed #customerservice
