Always the Groomsman, Never the Groom
from The Fishbowl With Jade · host Author Jade Mills
In this episode, Always the Groomsman, Never the Groom, we’re diving into a question many people are quietly asking… when did marriage stop being the goal?Inspired by The Serial Groomsman, this conversation explores the shift in how men and women view commitment today versus the past. From the illusion of endless options to the impact of modern dating, delayed timing, and personal independence, we unpack why some people keep showing up for love but never fully choose it. Is it fear, past experiences or a lack of understanding of what marriage truly requires?We also challenge the idea that marriage has become repetitive or “boring” and ask a deeper question, is it the person, or is it our relationship with consistency, growth, and long-term commitment? This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about reflection. Because maybe the real question isn’t whether people value marriage anymore, it’s whether they understand it.The Fishbowl with Jade not Hade :) (blooper)
