- Brad Wilcox bio
Brad Wilcox is Professor of Sociology and Director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, the Future of Freedom Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, and a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. The author of Get Married: Why Americans Should Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families and Save Civilization (HarperCollins, 2024), Wilcox studies marital quality, marital stability, and the impact of strong and stable marriages upon men, women, and children. The author and editor of six books, Wilcox has written for scientific journals such as The American Sociological Review and The Journal of Marriage and Family, as well as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and National Review. A Connecticut native, he now lives in Charlottesville, Virginia with his wife and family.[1]
No death sentence if the proposed constructs are not met. Wilcox, a Catholic, lost his father at the age of 6 yrs and filled with rage and loss. His mother found other male role models to fill the void which allowed him to flourish in his adulthood.[2]
Caveat striking difference father died and father abandoned. Orphan not fatherless due to death. General man died, grieved introduce children to him and virtues of the man. Much harder of abandoned. Separation fundamentally different.
VII. Get Married critique of book publishing quality
Pages are rough and contrast between ink and paper not first rate. Glad to put the book down after reading it.
