#146: 1/3 Less Marriages Today Are Making Us Lonely | JP De Gance

April 13, 2025 • Restored

At the root of our culture’s many problems is the breakdown of marriages and families. My guest shares sobering statistics, such as that “there are 31% less marriages annually now than in the year 2000” and there are “65% less marriages now than in the year 1970.”

He says this is hugely contributing to the loneliness crisis today. Thankfully, there is a cure, which we discuss in this episode, plus:

How the lonelinest group of people at church aren’t the old
Encouragement for young people from broken families who fear love and marriage
What a healthy relationship looks like and how to build it, including the 5 stages of healthy relationships

If you’ve been affected by the breakdown of marriages and families, this episode is for you.
