Jumu'ah Live: "Let's Face The Facts About Marriage's Value In Modern Times"

Marriage itself-and particularly healthy marriage-is associated with a wide range of economic, psychological, and social benefits. Married African Americans earn more, have higher levels of occupational prestige, and are more likely to own their own homes compared to their unmarried peers. Married Black adults report more happiness, satisfaction, and fewer emotional problems than unmarried Blacks. Compared to Blacks who are unmarried, married Black men and women report that they are more likely to reject illegal and unethical behavior,[9] and married Black men are less likely to be involved in criminal activity.
