Cultural Update: Does Marriage Have a Future?; Women's Happiness Around the World

Scott is joined by guest co-host Erik Thoennes this week to discuss:

• Marriage: A New Atlantis essay argues tech and economics have “unbundled” marriage; the hosts counter that a Christian vision roots love, covenant, and fidelity amid today’s easy-in/easy-out norms.
• Women’s happiness: An Atlantic/IFFS survey finds married mothers are about twice as likely to report being “very happy”; the conversation explores why (connection, purpose) while still affirming the goodness of singleness.
• Afghanistan: A UN “Gender Alert” outlines sweeping, codified restrictions on Afghan women under Taliban rule; the team urges informed, compassionate engagement.
