TALK
Ready or Not?: Fostering Marriage Readiness in a Culture of Marriage Preparation Paradoxes

What are the best ways to become ready for marriage? Unfortunately, we now live in a culture where the promoted path of marriage preparation is actually producing the opposite of what is intended - and is actually making people less ready for marriage. In this talk, Dr. Carroll will discuss how young people today can still prepare for a loving and lasting marriage in a culture full of marriage preparation paradoxes. He will discuss the latest relationship science related to cohabitation, sexual chemistry testing in dating, pornography, and delayed age at marriage and how these common patterns often undermine true marriage readiness in young adulthood. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the factors that marriage prediction research studies have shown to promote true marriage readiness for both individuals and couples.
