Helping young people achieve their life goals of marriage is deeply important because a happy marriage is one of the best predictors of life satisfaction for men and women.

The Washington Times references a Wheatley Institute research in a recent article that discusses how liberals have become increasingly dissatisfied compared to those who lean conservative. They cite Wheatley's study on how a person's happiness is directly tied to family and religion.
