W. Bradford Wilcox is Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, Professor of Sociology, and Senior Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies. On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Wilcox shares his research on marriage, families, and how the structure of both impacts economics, class divides, and individual success.

“We do know that when it comes to your happiness in life, marriage tends to give you a boost, and that kids tend to reduce your happiness…of course they also tend to increase your sense of meaning in life,” Wilcox said.
