With marriage rates hitting an all-time low in the UK (in 2019 the proportion of married adults in England & Wales fell below 50% for the first time), it's worth asking the question: what have we got to lose as culture by seeing the decline of this time-honoured institution? What are the effects to women, men, society, the poor and the soul of marriage and what (if any) are the differences between this and the UK's most common relational form, cohabitation (more than 90% of those marrying in 2021-2 had lived together before marrying)? These are just some of the questions we will be addressing on the podcast! I am joined by some brilliant guests, including Elaine Storkey and representatives from the Institute for Family Studies, Marriage Foundation, The Coalition for Marriage and FamilyLife Global.
