About this listen

 The episode offers an extensive argument in favor of modern marriage, presenting it as a statistically advantageous and comprehensive "life-upgrade subscription" despite the ease of casual relationships today. The source argues that marriage provides significant financial advantages, citing data showing increased wealth, higher earnings for men, and better benefits for women. Furthermore, the author supports marriage by detailing its considerable health and longevity benefits, referencing studies like the Harvard Grant Study to demonstrate that married people live longer and have better survival rates from serious illnesses. Finally, the text asserts that marriage improves mental health, acts as a "loneliness vaccine," results in better sexual satisfaction, provides a superior environment for child development, and serves as an essential legal and bureaucratic "life hack" for navigating societal systems.
