Jeremy Pryor's Podcast The Case For Marriage And Why Monogamy Is Under Attack with Conn Carroll
Marriage, monogamy, the family, and children are under attack.
But there's so much information, so many posts, infinite news articles...all coloring our vision and distracting us, which means it's hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong, and where.
Jeremy and Conn Carroll discuss the history of monogamous marriage, the results of the last few centuries of liberty-obsessed philosophers, and what we can do to turn the tide to save marriages, birth rates, and families in America.
Conn Carroll is the author of Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy, and is the Commentary Editor for the Washington Examiner.
