Why are fewer young Americans getting married and what does this mean for the future of families?
In this episode of Parent Empowerment, Mandy Drogin sits down with TPPF's family policy expert, Hannah Bruck, to examine the cultural, economic, and societal forces shaping marriage and family formation in America today.
From the rise of online dating culture and social media influence to shifting cultural views on relationships, and financial stability, this conversation explores why so many young people are delaying marriage... or avoiding it altogether. Mandy and Hannah also discuss the critical role strong families play in building healthy communities, raising successful children, and sustaining a thriving society.
