Everybody wants to have better relationships, whether it is with their friends, the person they are dating, their spouse, or God Himself. Today, Dr. John Cuddeback joins Ben Eriksen to discuss these types of friendships, as well as virtue, happiness, and even dating. Their conversation draws on the wisdom of Aristotle as well as a relatively unknown Saint Aelred.

Dr. Cuddeback’s practical wisdom is extremely helpful for all ages, but most especially the young as they develop new friendships and consider dating and the vocation to marriage.
