Marriage Makes Women Happier: Myth Busting Cohabitation And Gen Z Faith
Guest host Micah Clark—Executive Director of the American Family Association of Indiana—welcomes Glenn Stanton, Director of Family Formation at Focus on the Family, for a no-nonsense conversation about what the data really say about marriage, motherhood, faith, and family. Glenn unpacks fresh research (including his recent Federalist piece) showing married women—especially married moms—report the highest levels of life satisfaction. They also explore why cohabitation isn’t a “trial marriage,” how faith drastically lowers divorce risk, and why stable, married families lift communities and shrink government dependence.
In segment two, Micah & Glenn tackle the myth that the American church is collapsing, drawing insights from Glenn’s book The Myth of the Dying Church and the surprising revival-energy among Gen Z. They discuss how elites “talk left but live right” on marriage, why children flourish best with a married mom and dad, and why public policy should stop undermining the very institution that makes people freer and happier.
If you care about culture, policy, and the next generation, this episode gives you research-backed clarity—and hope.
