Stephen Moore highlights a concerning decline in marriage rates, particularly among young men, asserting it poses a greater threat to America's future than national debt or climate change. Statistics reveal a significant increase in unmarried men aged 18-39 and a corresponding drop in married men within the same demographic since 2000. This trend is linked to negative social outcomes like loneliness, addiction, and less economic success. Moore also examines women's role, noting their increased career orientation and financial independence have lessened their perceived need for marriage. Additionally, declining religious belief among women reduces the emphasis on holy matrimony as a moral obligation. The article stresses the negative impact of fatherless homes on children's success, particularly for sons. While not advocating a return to 1950s norms, Moore urges acknowledgment of the problem. He suggests a national commission on "Rediscovering Love, Marriage and Parenthood." The piece concludes by underscoring the urgency, citing that only 47% of households were headed by married couples in 2025, down from 78.8% in 1949. Reversing this trend is deemed crucial for America's prosperity and happiness.
