Brad Wilcox：互联网上关于婚姻是糟糕交易的观点，一部分源于左翼和右翼对婚姻的批判性关注，也反映了年轻人寻找合适伴侣的困难，以及一种以工作、金钱和个人品牌为中心的“唯物主义”心态。左翼和右翼都存在这种“唯物主义”心态，认为事业、金钱和个人品牌比婚姻更重要，这导致了对婚姻的负面看法。数据显示，已婚人士的经济状况普遍优于未婚人士，已婚男性失业率和离职率低于未婚男性。定期约会之夜、宗教信仰和避免婚外情等因素可以降低离婚风险。与稳定婚姻的夫妇交往可以降低离婚风险。已婚人士，尤其是已婚父母，比单身人士更幸福，良好的婚姻是预测幸福感的最强因素，胜过其他任何因素。即使婚姻失败，人们也可以从与子女的关系中获得满足感。亚裔美国人、宗教人士、受过高等教育的人和保守派人士的婚姻幸福度和稳定性更高。社交媒体上对婚姻的看法与人口调查数据存在差异，社交媒体更倾向于展现快乐和享乐，而忽略了婚姻中的意义和满足感。婚姻对身心健康有积极影响，但体重可能会增加。已婚男性比未婚男性寿命长8-9年。孩子在父母双方都健在的家庭中更容易获得教育、社会和情感上的成功。父母婚姻状况对孩子的幸福和成功至关重要，比父母的收入更重要。受教育程度、经济状况和政治倾向共同决定了婚姻状况。政治立场差异会影响婚姻的稳定性，因为在价值观和生活方式方面存在分歧。保守派比自由派更幸福，部分原因在于他们更可能结婚并拥有幸福的婚姻。自由派对婚姻和生育的重视程度较低，这可能会对美国未来的意识形态构成影响。“灵魂伴侣”的神话是一种不切实际的爱情观，它忽视了婚姻中除了浪漫爱情之外的其他重要因素。爱情不只是感觉，更是为了对方的福祉而努力。一些男性主义的观点过于以自我为中心，对女性的评价过于负面，鼓励男性自私自利，这会损害婚姻的成功率。给年轻女性的建议：让朋友知道你想要结婚，利用宗教社区，积极主动地表达兴趣，谨慎选择约会网站。给年轻男性的建议：保持良好的体格、拥有明确的人生目标、参与社区活动、在约会中积极主动。男性的稳定工作对婚姻的成功至关重要，比具体的收入水平更重要。 Chris：提出了一些质疑，例如婚姻的风险、对个人自由的限制、以及如何平衡个人幸福与婚姻中的幸福。
