Lyman Stone is a husband, father, and follower of Jesus. He is also a PhD Candidate in Sociology at McGill University. As a demographer, Lyman specializes in understanding fertility preferences. On this episode of the podcast, however, we focus primarily on what demographic data tells us about the state of marriage in the United States today. We consider the happiness that marriage brings, the best steps single people can take today to find a mate or be more “marriageable” themselves. Lyman also shares some research related to secularization of children and why you need to worry more about what you teach your kids about Jesus at home than what they are going to learn in college. We also discuss marriage tax penalties and why cohabiting is a terrible idea for anyone who desires marriage in the future.
