First Comes Love, When Comes Marriage?

Steven Ing, MFT Episode 26

The median age for marriage is now 30, compared to 23 in the 1970s. Increased gender equality, advances in technology, and different goals are part of the reason younger generations are putting off “settling down,” but what is the rest of the equation? Join our conversation, where we discuss what we can we learn from some new philosophies about commitment and what elements of love and relationships are consistent through the ages. 

For over 30 years, Steven Ing, MFT, has been a Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in forensic work. He is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and the author of two books on sexuality: We're All Like This and Get Busy Living. He is the creator and host of the true crime podcast Sex Crime Central and co-host on the podcast Managing Love Intelligently. In 2022, he was the victim of an attempted murder and survived multiple stabbings. And good thing: in 2023 his feminist science fiction novel Polliwog was published and he was appointed a community faculty member for the UNR School of Medicine. He lives in Reno, Nevada, with his wife, Sharon, on the edge of the Toiyabe National Forest.
