Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · Why You're Still Single & How To Get Married | Brad Wilcox · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

So maybe it's a religious dating app, or maybe it's an app like Keeper, which is a new app that's

using algorithms to kind of match people who are interested in either a long-term relationship or marriage.

So kind of steering clear of the Tinder model, that's obviously not gonna be helpful in terms of finding the kind of person who would be good for marriage.

So dating apps are a necessary evil, I would say, but the ideal is trying to find someone in person if you can.

And the thing is, you know, I encounter, you know, as a professor at UVA, just, you know, tons of young women and young men who are great people, right?

And who are single.

And, you know, I can't tell you how many students have sat kind of in my office hours and kind of told me they haven't had one date at UVA.

I'm just like,

So I think it's about trying to figure out ways to bring people together and to also exploit opportunities where you're meeting people is part of the answer here.

And then we also, I think, have to do more to organize events where people can meet folks who are like-minded, especially marriage-minded.

So there's a new group, for instance, in Washington, D.C., and they're organizing young adults, primarily who are Catholic, but, you know,

need not be Catholic, who are interested in kind of in marriage and they're doing lectures and they're doing volunteering and they're doing dances and they're like these fun, well-done events that bring together interesting people.

You know, that's the kind of thing that we need to see a lot more.

But I also think too, we as parents and professors and pastors and priests, you know, need to do a lot more to kind of put people in touch, you know, to be thinking more deliberately about this person would be good for that person.

to arrange for dinners and other activities where we can kind of play the role of matchmaker.

Certainly it's important.

And this is why I think both women and men should be making an effort to be in shape or get in shape when they're looking to date or when they are dating.

But I think it's certainly the case that a lot of people discover a kind of romantic or sexual attraction

Just by being with someone, by seeing them do something well, or by seeing them care for a certain person in a powerful way, or discovering a kind of friendship that they hadn't necessarily expected.

So I think that for many folks, the kind of romantic or sexual attraction can develop over time.
