begins this book called Marry Him, where she reveals she had like basically 61 different things, you know, checks she was looking for in a potential husband.
He had to be a certain height.
He had to be kind of, you know, a certain level of professional success.
He had to be good looking.
But her point in kind of revealing this list to the readers is that she had a list that was just way too long.
and so she finds herself in her late 30s as a single mom when many of her friends had gotten married and they'd gotten married because yes they had some non-negotiables in a husband but they had a much smaller list and they realized that this guy would actually kind of meet the most important criteria they had but not every criteria that they had so i think it's also important to sort of understand and appreciate
how kind of keeping your expectations, you know, more realistic can be helpful in finding someone who would be, you know, a good husband, but not necessarily your perfect soulmate.
So I think we are kind of in a bad spot when it comes to dating.
And that then is a big factor in this sort of low marriage rate and low fertility rate.
We're kind of hitting record after record in terms of low fertility.
And that's all downstream of a lower marriage rate.
I think unless and until we can kind of figure out how to deal with technology in ways that don't kind of sideline us from real socializing and also from developing the social skills that will make us good friends and good spouses, we're going to be in a predicament.
But I do certainly see signs from the Gen Zers that I know and work with that there is a kind of new approach to technology that I think will help kind of them and people like them, you know, make more headway when it comes to friendship, dating, and then later on marriage and family.
For instance, I'm seeing a lot of Gen Zers in my orbit kind of switching out smartphones for simple phones, especially in kind of the more religious world, having kind of like more deliberate norms about things like digital fasting on Sundays, for instance.
So I think it's these kinds of deliberate efforts to kind of develop a new relationship to technology that will help young adults increase their odds of forging relationships for themselves with real people in the real world.
Yes.
It's certainly a sobering.
Her book, Sex Tinction, is kind of giving you sort of, you know, the pretty negative story about kind of how difficult it is to date and to find real love in today's world.
Oh, certainly.
Yeah, I mean, Christians don't live in a bubble, most of them, most of us.
