About this Episode

In a culture that’s delaying, rejecting, and redefining marriage, what’s keeping young people from the relationships they deeply want?

BYU professor Dr. Brian Willoughby breaks down the hidden fears, mixed messages, and spiritual confusion behind modern dating and what the restored gospel can uniquely offer.

We discuss:

  • Why marriage and family are being delayed—or avoided altogether
  • The concept of “Me-Marriage” and how we can avoid it
  • How our culture of individualism and “on-demand” connection is eroding real intimacy
  • The quiet consequences of rejecting eternal family structures
  • Why covenant sacrifice still leads to the deepest fulfillment

This conversation is a wake-up call and a message of hope. The doctrine hasn’t changed—but our culture has.
