That’s a major shift — for our culture, our politics, even for how (and where) we live — that raises a bunch of interesting and important questions: Why aren’t more people marrying? What would need to happen to get more people to marry? And most important, why marry at all? Brad Wilcox is a professor of sociology and the director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. His new book, “Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization,” argues that (heterosexual) marriage should be a national priority, one that deserves support from lawmakers and everyday Americans alike. But it also argues that the myths around marriage — like the idea of a “soul mate” or even worries about what a bad marriage could do to potential children — are getting in our way. “I think having a more realistic understanding of the way that love and marriage tend to work out for most of us would be helpful in reducing the expectations and making people more realistic about it,” he said [in our conversation](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnvxC4P0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wMi8yNi9vcGluaW9uL2JyYWQtd2lsY294LW1hcnJpYWdlLWNvbnNlcnZhdGl2ZXMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDI0MDIyNiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMTYwODAmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTU5MTY0JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpl1LiL3GXLnB_2Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~).
