How Can We Make Marriage Great Again?
Season 1 Episode 106
In this episode I sat down with Shah from his ‘This is Shah’ channel - https://www.youtube.com/@thisisshah
We dove into why the divorce rate is so high and what’s happening with modern dating and relating? Shah is extremely knowledgeable about family law and the court systems and we have an extensive conversation about dowry and bride price systems from the past.
Listen in to learn about whether the dowry has wisdom we could implement today, why caricatures of men and women are shaping modern dating dilemmas, Barbies and Bugattis, whether Andrew Tate would become monogamous if he was presented with a dowry, what the purpose of a prenup is and why it began, what the three stages of relating are based on David Deida’s work are, which stage are we in now, how we can define actually love? And so much more.
Such a great conversation with Shah, enjoy.
