On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent Podcast, we explore the question "Does marriage really matter?" We examine whether marriage is beneficial for individuals and society, or if it hinders personal fulfillment. We discuss surprising statistics about declining marriage rates and changing attitudes towards marriage among younger generations.

Our guest, Professor Brad Wilcox, presents scientific evidence challenging popular myths about marriage and argues for its importance in creating happier individuals and flourishing children. We also look at the concept of "inverted hypocrisy" in how elites portray marriage in media versus their personal lives.

Join us as we navigate through current ideas about marriage, explore which groups are succeeding in maintaining strong marriages, and uncover the statistics that demonstrate the benefits of marriage for men and women.
