Maybe Salt Lake does suck, but wherever you stand on that issue, I think we can all agree that it sucks a whole lot less than Phoenix

Really enjoyed this discussion. Parents talk a lot about how much they want a “village” to help raise their children. An under-appreciated point: it takes a lot of time, effort, and self-sacrifice to build a community like that.

NEW! We spoke with Jim Dalrymple II about how he and his wife are recreating 'the village' around their nuclear family, and what that looks like in a modern context. Jim shares his experience as a father and why young men should consider a leadership role in the domestic sphere.

I love Jim’s take as a dad who enjoyed “DINK” life before having kids. He raises the idea of becoming the CEO of your family, which I think is a really attractive message for high-achieving Millenial and Gen Z (men and women) who’ve bought into careerism/hustle culture. Thanks…

There's a lot of pessimism about marriage out there. But in fact it's become more inclusive and egalitarian. The problem isn't that marriage sucks, it's that too many people believe it sucks.

Doomism creates a kind of smoke screen that obscures marriage’s benefits, as well as the trajectory of its evolution—a trajectory most Americans see as clearly positive.  ifstudies.org/blog/the-doome… Jim Dalrymple II

“Marriage doomism completely misses the long arc of history; in fact, the institution of marriage has over the last century become vastly more equitable, inclusive, and aligned with the centrist values of today’s modern Americans.” Jim Dalrymple II ifstudies.org/blog/the-doome… Inst.

My inlaws (mid 60s) are currently educating my wife (late 30s) on Gen Z slang like 'no cap' and 'sus.' what a time to be alive.
