Title: The Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization Author: Brad Wilcox Narrator: Mark Deakins Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 15 minutes Release date: February 13, 2024 Genres: Counseling & Inspirational Publisher's Summary: A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox explains how our ruling class publicly disparages marriage – the institution most likely to deliver prosperity and happiness to ordinary Americans – while privately embracing it. America is in crisis. Happiness is falling, loneliness and despair are rising, too many schools are riddled by fights and failure, crime is unacceptably high, and the American Dream is out of reach for millions. The problems are visible to us all, but virtually no one is talking about the solution that matters most: Marriage. New research by University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox shows that Americans who get married and have children today are leading happier and more prosperous lives, on average, than men and women who are single and childless. In fact, nothing predicts happiness in life better than a good marriage—not even a hefty bank account or a great career. And kids and communities—not to mention our civilization as a whole—are much more likely to flourish when the state of our unions is strong, according to Wilcox, who directs the National Marriage Project at U.Va.  But our country is in crisis because record numbers of Americans are not succeeding at getting or staying married. In this hard-hitting book, Wilcox reveals the anti-family messages and policies that have weakened marriage coming out of Hollywood, Washington, the media, academia, and corporate America.  The good news, however, is that millions of Americans are succeeding at marriage. Dr. Wilcox spotlights four groups—Asian, conservative, religious, and college-educated Americans—who are building strong and stable marriages by defying the me-first messages of our elites in favor of a family-first way of life.  This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why, even as fewer men and women tie the knot, America’s most fundamental institution matters more than ever for our civilization. And for men and women looking to forge strong, stable, and happy unions for themselves and their children, Get Married reveals the road forward.

Imagine shedding the burdens of your past and stepping into a future full of freedom, purpose, and joy. Overcoming emotional wounds can feel nearly impossible; however, there is a path forward and starts when you focus on the abundant life God has envisioned for you. Deeply wounded as a child, Mariela Rosario grew up with pain that seemed too profound to heal. She fell into toxic habits of drug use, people-pleasing, and shame. Then, alone in her house in 2015, Mariela experienced a miraculous encounter with God that prompted her to turn away from those destructive patterns. Now she uses her experiences to help inspire other women overcome their past hurts so that they, too, can walk in freedom and joy…because when a woman's God-given purpose is activated, she speaks fire.  In She Speaks Fire Mariela draws on the biblical story of the garden of Eden to explore eight lessons about shame that will nourish you and lead you to live authentically, powerfully, and freely. This transformative book will help you see: - why the seed of shame might be holding you back from God's call, - what it looks like to let go of the need for others' approval, - who your real enemy is and why he will never win, and - how to bravely own your story so you can help others find freedom too.   Feelings of shame can be so overwhelming that it's hard to even know how to start moving forward. She Speaks Fire is an invitation to healing that offers you the encouragement and wisdom you need to take that first step. It's time to come out from under the oppressive weight of shame and into the liberating warmth of God's embrace so you can discover freedom, purpose, and joy.
