The future of the American family depends on Americans' ability to agree on the role government should play in supporting marriage and raising children—so how can voters bridge political gaps and come together in support of the family?

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. Accordingly, in this report from the Institute for Family Studies and the Wheatley Institute, we sought to find the top attitudes and behaviors that were predictive of a high quality and stable marriage in a recent survey of married men and women.

This year marks the tenth fielding of the American Family Survey, a collaborative effort between the Wheatley Institute and Center for the Study of Elections and Democrat at Brigham Young University and the Deseret News.
