Nelson Interview Brad Wilcox on The Commonwealth Matters
(Frankfort, KY) – This week’s episode of The Commonwealth Matters podcast features Dr. W. Bradford Wilcox, Professor of Sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. He’s the author of numerous books and journal articles defending the importance of marriage and the family. This conversation was focused on his most recent book, Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization.
Wilcox argues that our society’s elites preach against the benefits of man/woman marriage and the natural family while practicing them themselves. To combat this misinformation, Wilcox calls us to tell the truth: “for the average woman and … man, [they’re] much better off financially if they stay married and are twice as likely to be very happy with their lives.”
