Marriage Makes Women Happier

If you’ve heard that marriage is a raw deal for women, you’ve been sold a headline—not the data. In today’s episode, Glenn Stanton of Focus on the Family walks through research showing married women—especially married moms—report the highest life satisfaction.

Cohabitation, meanwhile, isn’t a “trial marriage.” It’s dating with shared rent—more sliding than deciding—and it delivers more instability and conflict.

Micah and Glenn also talk faith. You’ve probably heard that “the church is dying.” Glenn’s book The Myth of the Dying Church documents the opposite: where Scripture is taught and discipleship is real, churches remain vibrant. Even more surprising, Gen Z isn’t simply checking out; many are seeking deeper, historic Christianity.

Why does this matter for culture and policy? Because strong families shrink the state. When marriages are healthy and dads and moms keep their vows, government has less to “fix.” Kids do better in school, neighborhoods are safer, and people are freer. That’s not theory; it’s the lived reality of communities built on covenant love instead of temporary arrangements.

If you want limited government, start with strong families. If you want happier citizens, start with faithful marriages. Let’s recover the courage to say what’s true and good—and then live it.

My friends, free speech isn’t meant to be comfortable. It’s meant to be free. And that freedom means protection from government punishment — not immunity from what your boss, your neighbors, or society might say in response.

Sometimes you’ll hear ideas that offend you, maybe even ideas you despise. Yet protecting speech that challenges us is exactly what keeps liberty alive. If we only allow words that make us comfortable, then we don’t have free speech at all — we have approved speech. And when speech must be approved, the playing field is tipped, and truth itself becomes harder to reach.

Courage means standing firm for the right of others to speak, even when we’d rather not hear it. That’s how liberty survives, and how truth endures.
