222: What Makes Someone Give Up Being Si...

MATTHEW HUSSEY
About this episode

In this brand new episode, I sit down with my wife Audrey to talk about why people fear commitment and whether people are less inclined towards marriage in 2024. With the prevalence of dating apps it can feel like we have more options than ever, but people feel it's even more difficult to find their ideal partner. We discuss what has changed in modern dating, reasons for optimism when it comes to commitment, how you can influence someone's view on what commitment means, and how to improve your communication to have a healthy relationship. ►► Get Commitment Without Games or Ultimatums. . .
