The Case for Marriage is well written and well argued, empirically rigorous and learned, practical and commonsensical. It is a very valuable contribution to the debate about marriage in modern American society. Amassing powerful resources of data and theory, they attack the current anti-marriage conventional wisdom and devastate it.
Married people are healthier, happier, more productive, and enjoy better sex.
On reflection one wonders how anyone could have possibly thought otherwise. Future discussion of marriage and family will not be able to ignore this work, no matter how much the anti-marriage ideologues would like to. In this cynical, high-divorce culture, this book is a MUST read for every citizen. We need to know the facts about what marriage does accomplish, and here, finally are the facts, in understandable terms. If you think so, read this book.
