In this episode, I explore the evolution of marriage over the past century, discussing historical, cultural, and technological changes that have shaped modern relationships. Topics include the impact of the Industrial Revolution, agriculture changes, the sexual revolution, no-fault divorce, and technology.  I also address the economic independence of women and the influence of technology on dating and relationships. While marriage has changed, it is not dead!  I offer insights into how to navigate modern relationships successfully.
