Jeremy Tusia & Ilan Volchek
About this episode

Should you date solely for marriage? There are many philosophies on dating, such as not marrying your first partner, waiting until marriage for physical intimacy, or simply going with the flow. But is there a single dating philosophy with the intention of marriage that is truly helpful?

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they share their view on whether people should date solely for marriage. Expect to learn about why having more than one partner in your lifetime can be beneficial, why it may be essential to have a single phase in your 20s, if marriage is truly for everyone, how to voice your long-term intentions when dating, the key to maintaining a healthy relationship for high school sweethearts, and much more.
