Jeff St. James discusses the question, "Is Marriage Really Needed in 2025?"

“Why would I get married when I already have everything?” That’s what more and more people are thinking—and in this episode, we’re breaking down why.

From the shifting roles of sex, parenthood, and commitment to the rise of individualism and modern freedom, we ask the tough questions:
- Why aren’t men (and women) opting into marriage?
- What happens when sex and children are no longer tied to marriage?
- How do we make marriage attractive again—and should we?
- What are real couples doing to build strong, lasting relationships?
- Is marriage still a tool for growth, or just an outdated ideal?

We don’t have all the answers, but this conversation gets real.
Let’s unpack the “opt-out” mindset—and talk about what it means for love, family, and the future.
