Old-School Marriage vs. Today: A Discussion with Kendall Williams and Jeff St James

Why can’t we stay married like Grandma and Grandpa did?

In this raw and honest conversation, we unpack the real reasons traditional marriage doesn’t hold the same weight today. From generational shifts in power and freedom to changing incentives and societal norms, we dig into:
- What Grandma tolerated that many won’t today
- How independence changed marriage dynamics
- Why some see more benefits in divorce than staying together
- The hidden structures that make leaving a marriage easier than ever
- Whether marriage is still seen as a prize in today’s culture
- Why romance and sex often decline after the wedding
- We’re not here to sugarcoat it—we’re asking the hard questions.
- Is marriage still worth it? Or have we outgrown the old model?
