Learn more at issues ETC.org making the case

July 12th and 13th in Chicago issues ETC

dot org. We have talked a lot here on issues etc about the birth rate. We've also discussed the marriage

rate. All of these rates are going down in the United States. It is not just a temporary slump, it looks like a trend

that has been following on this direction for decades and not expected

demographically to turn around any time.

What are the political, what are the economic,

what are the technological roots of the decline

of marriage and family, and what policies could help the return of marriage and family.

Joining us to talk about natural marriage and family policies, Dr Brad Wilcox, he's professor of sociology and director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia

The Future Freedom Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies and author of the new book

Get Married,

Why Americans Must Defy the Elites,

Forge Strong Families and Save Civilization,

and a recent column for the Washington Examiner

titled, The American Heart is Closing

to Marriage and Family Can Red States change that?

Dr Wilcox, welcome back.
