Married or Single?
Manage episode 426048729 series 2140049
Marriage has long been considered a goal to aspire to and a conventional path to happiness. But over the last few decades, the traditional view of marriage as the cornerstone of adult life has been questioned. Changes in economic conditions, gender roles, and cultural values have fueled a reevaluation of whether marriage is still desirable or necessary for personal fulfillment and social stability. Those who believe it’s better to get married argue that married individuals report better physical and mental well-being, compared to single adults. They also experience economic and social benefits. Those who believe it’s better to be single say singledom helps promote independence, allows individuals to make decisions freely, makes it likely to create broader social networks and communities, and feel more fulfilled than they would if they felt pressured to be partnered.
Whether you are in a relationship or not, we debate the following prompt: Married or Single?
Arguing Married: Jonathan Rothwell, Principal Economist at Gallup
Arguing Single: Bella DePaulo, Social Scientist and Author of "Singled Out" and "Single at Heart"
Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates
