The second most important decision you'll ever make is who you marry. (The first? I'll reveal that at the end.)
This week we're diving into marriage—why it matters, how to choose well, and what the research actually says about living together before marriage.
The data is fascinating: married people live 2.2 years longer, are twice as likely to be very happy, and recover from illness faster. But couples who live together before being engaged are 48% more likely to divorce. The timing of commitment matters.
I'm making the case for marrying young (I married my wife at 22), addressing the "independent woman" narrative that's left many in their mid-30s lonely and regretting their choices, and talking about how to know if someone's "the one."
Plus: the difference between sliding vs deciding, why character matters more than chemistry, and how to grow together instead of growing apart.
Whether you're single and want to marry, dating, engaged, or already married, this episode will challenge how you think about the most important relationship decision you'll make.

👋 I'm collecting emails so I can share stuff that doesn't fit in podcast episodes - things I'm reading, learning, testing out. Recently, that's been NT Greek and Bitcoin Standard lectures, but it changes constantly. If you want those kinds of updates when I send them, go to dafyddmorse.com/signup
