“Every civilization rests on these four pillars: marriage, family, society, and polity. If all four remain solid, then most people will know happiness and their civilization will flourish. But if any of these pillars cracks or crumbles, people—-perhaps very many people—-will become unhappy and the edifice of their civilization will run the risk of toppling.”
