Worth a read. It challenges the idea that marriage is a silver bullet, as so many male pundits keep chiding us. It also challenges the "money can't buy you happiness" myth that helps the rich keep more of their riches. #giftedarticle

One thing it doesn't do is discuss differences by gender. This quote suggests the answer to happiness is not marriage but getting a wife.

I'm reminded that we keep seeing so many of these "Shouldn't everyone get married?" pieces at the same time that happiness in marriage is under attack from the right.

Final thought: I'm glad Thompson doesn't see a silver bullet but a web. Still, I keep wondering if we are asking the wrong question. We might be happier if we pursued something other than happiness. I wrote a bit ago about this--and the tendency to make happiness, like so much else, a competition.
