In this episode of Beneath the Headlines, host Mike Woodruff sits down with Dr. Brad Wilcox, professor of sociology at the University of Virginia, director of the National Marriage Project, and author of several books on marriage and family. They discuss the cultural shifts undermining marriage, why it remains a vital institution for adults and children alike, and how society can better support strong, stable families.

Dr. Wilcox shares insights from his research, addressing common objections to marriage—like the pursuit of career over family or the search for a "perfect" soulmate—and explains why delaying or dismissing marriage may come at a cost. The conversation also explores the growing demographic challenges of declining birthrates and what it might take to reverse the trend.

Whether you're single, married, or simply interested in the forces shaping modern relationships, this episode offers a thoughtful look at the enduring importance of marriage in an age of skepticism.
