The '''invisible hand of marriage''' is an unseen force of productivity that results from the marriage of a man and woman.<ref>This concept was first discovered and developed on Conservapedia. When this entry was generated here, a Google search on "'''invisible hand of marriage'''" did not find a single reference on the [[Internet]]: "No results found for 'invisible hand of marriage.'"</ref>

The '''invisible hand of marriage''' is more powerful and influential than the "[[invisible hand]]" identified by [[Adam Smith]] in [[economics]]. Indeed, the source of productivity from Smith's invisible hand has been erroneously attributed to purely economic considerations, without properly factoring in the productive force of [[marriage]]. Self-interest and [[greed]] are not the primary driving forces of the invisible hand, but marriage is.

Key elements of the '''invisible hand of marriage''' include:

* the powerful incentive to work for the benefit of someone else who needs your efforts, such as a spouse or child
* the motivation to work for a future that will likely extend beyond one's own life
* the [[checks and balances]] against unproductive activity, anxiety, depression and addiction, from the very different perspectives of a man and a woman
* the insights and wisdom that result from complementary outlooks by a man and woman in marriage
* the pushing and prodding, analogous to what a supervisor, coach or sergeant does, that encourages and compels people in marriage to achieve their best
* a division of labor that enables each spouse to work on what he or she does best
* the ability to raise and educate children better by utilizing both the male and female perspectives and experiences on life
* a solid God-like relationship of love that each partner desires one another to make it to the finish line, Heaven.

== Same-sex marriage ==

There is no '''invisible hand of marriage''' if those purporting to be married are of the same gender. Virtually none of the above elements exist in a same-sex "marriage". Same-sex "marriage" is a recipe for unproductive activity, anxiety, depression and addiction, and lacks the enormously beneficial checks and balances provided by a true marriage.

==The Invisible hand of Aschlafly==

'''The invisible hand of Aschlafly''' is a term used by Andys students. Though described as invisible it is actually Andys physical hand. Some students reject the invisible hand of Aschlafly but Andy takes this to mean they are liberals and not ready to accept his hand. He then ejects them from the room and accuses them of having closed minds. You have free will to deny Andys hand.
