WTH Should I Read This Summer ... LIVE! “Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization” by Brad Wilcox.

Closing out What the Hell’s summer book series, Brad Wilcox
discusses his book Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the
Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization (Broadside
Books, 2024) in front of a live audience of the very people on
whom Wilcox hopes to impress his message: College students.
Today, Americans are getting married and starting families older
and older, if at all. But America’s youth might be surprised to
learn that not only are married people more likely to be more
financially stable and successful in their careers than their
unmarried peers, but they are generally happier and feel more
fulfilled as well. The data is there, we should all Get Married.


Brad Wilcox is a nonresident senior fellow at the American

Project. Wilcox is also a Professor of Sociology at the
University of Virginia, where he directs the National Marriage
Project, and is a senior fellow at the Institute for Family
Studies. He is the author of Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy

(Broadside Books, 2024).
