While many search for happiness through financial or career success, being married and having a family increases overall happiness more than other achievements.

Phenomenal talk! I was chomping at the bit to listen to his talk, and it didn’t disappoint. Strong families lead to strong societies, and a “very happy” marriage is at the base of this ideal 🙏🏾
Incredible talk and so current with the Andrew Tate and Pearl references. Love the hard data and soft whisper of the holy spirit telling me this is truth. Marriage, and family is at the center of Gods plan.
This is so great. Glad to see this at BYU.
Powerful talk! Thank you Dr. Wilcox!
This is a great talk.
The root issue of it all is that everyone who refuses to sacrifice their will to receive the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost and the joy that comes with it will seek it in whatever way the world suggest... money, education, "self love", ease, comfort, and more. As long as we continue to be temporally and carnally minded we will never have marriages full of pure love, which never faileth.
Amazing talk. I'm so blessed to be in my 14th year of marriage to my amazing husband. Marrying him in the temple was the best decision of my life. ❤
Fascinating work and presentation! Yes on creating a new culture. Our work in therapy is to reduce or eliminate the barriers embedded in trauma histories that keep individuals and couples from experiencing the healing power of Christ. I would love to have a conversation with you Bradley if you’re so inclined. Love your work and we’re definitely on the same team! Nathan Porter
Thank you for this fantastic talk! It completely exposes the satanic lies these false prophets are spreading on their social media platforms. I'm 47 years old, not yet married but I look forward to the day when I will be sealed to a wonderful woman in the temple.
Single life can bring satisfactions, thrills, and even joys, but the earnest pursuit of marriage and family according to God's law brings abiding satisfaction, peace and joy to the deepest parts of the human core! Thanks, Brother Wilcox, for a presentation that speaks to a younger crowd and combats the deafening attacks on God's own social institution of the family. I believe good marriage IS the solution to the world's worst problems.
Marriage is the greatest joy in my life! 25 years of Marriage.
Very important information
I really like what is being said :)
Amen to that! Even with challenges sometimes, my marriage is most valuable and important in my life. I'm so grateful I chose this life, my husband is my love and joy (second to Jesus of course 😂) always and forever.

Thanks for your comment! Sometimes we are unable to show what is on the speaker's screen for copyright reasons. It's unfortunate. But we try and add links to the video description so that viewers get all the information they need!
I like good. This talk good. My thought deep.
@11:50 its no coincidence that peak happiness in this world and the world to come are in marriage.
Fantastic talk.
We still have a separation of church and state in this republic. Using political choices as a basis for determining happiness in marriage discounts the multiple other factors which go into this happy life. I personally believe that putting God first is the biggest contributor to good family relationships. 6:13
Brad is the GOAT of combatting fashionable elite narratives on marriage and family

What’s crazy is the wealthy liberals that espouse the ideas are more likely to be married…
Tá ok. Somos culturas diferentes dos Estados Unidos ou mesmo da Índia e dividi a esta apresentação em partes. Mas isto é maravilhoso saber. De tudo que vai permanecer da vida boa desta Terra, ver um um homem feliz com uma mulher sendo sua feliz esposa a seu lado e o que vier depois do casamento deles estudos filhos obstáculos amigos velhice , vê-los juntos é romântico e fofinho. Não é por me divorciar de um relacionamento ruim que não os admiro ou desejo ambicionar ser a esposa feliz. Embora seja muita pouca informação de como fazê-lo assim deste jeito. Sou feliz de um jeito especial.
Marriage is my job and subsequently mother, after 7 yrs of infertility. All of this brought the greatest of Joys/Woes - the greatest of sacrifices/receiving. The Best Rollercoaster Ride ever with a “We before Me”. It’s the Best of Work I can do, the funnest ride to share and such a pleasure to serve these beautiful, talented people… learn to truly LOVE like we made it our priority! I’m sure God prioritizes His Family First. 😊
Beautiful speech. I love how he shows that society is changing our priorities.

That is the danger
This talk did nothing to address any valid concern about high percentage of divorce rates, the legal and emotional ramifications of divorce on the spouses and kids that go through it. Or more importantly educate people how to try and avoid divorce and what to do in the case if it happens to you. Mormons who don't study outside of church teachings on many of these topics get screwed over because they are taught all or nothing and if they fall short they suffer more. I agree a healthy marriage is probably the healthiest thing most individuals stood strive for but gosh dang to ignore the legit concerns from( poor judgement of oneself or future prospect) (corrupt legal judges or laws) (and realizing people change or are influenced) So what a good decision yesterday sounds bad in the future in retrospect.
Please what’s the name of his book?

I hope Andrew Tate sees this
