Why All Males Need Rites of Passage

December 17, 2024

5 Reasons Men Should NOT Get Married

September 25, 2024
John Heinen, Devin Schadt, and Sam Guzman explore the nature of marriage in our fast-paced hook-up culture and examine why some men (and women) argue that men should avoid marriage. With declining marriage rates and persistently high divorce rates, it's clear that marriage is challenging, leading millions to opt out entirely. We discuss 5 reasons why marriage is difficult for men and why some argue we should abandon this supposedly outdated social construct. But is there truth to these statements? The discussion reveals how these five reasons fall short in helping men live their best lives and uncovers the enduring value of marriage. We also get to answer a question from a listener about how to pray and improve his life after a devastating divorce.
