Does Marriage Still Make Sense?
from Only Gets Better · host Heather and Selin
Episode 7: Does Marriage Still Make Sense?This week on Only Gets Better, we’re talking about marriage.Which is funny, because Selin is… happily married, and yet, she’s also the one asking all the questions.So, we follow that curiosity — not about her relationship, but about the whole idea of marriage. What it is, what it’s become, and why we don’t really question it as much as we probably should.We get into:Sleepwalking into things that society expects of us.Not being terribly cool with the government having a say in when we end a relationship, or that marriage began as a contract between men.How people react when you don’t follow the expected script.We also talk about the divorce rate — and yes, we’re calling it a positive.Not because divorce is easy or something to aim for… but because it means women have choices.And before you think we're complete cynics (looking at you, Heather) we do discuss the romance part, too.This one is a deep dive from two different perspectives and we have a few laughs along the way, as always.Selin's recommendation:We Don't Have Time For This - Podcast - Apple PodcastsLinks Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onlygetsbetterpodcast Selin’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/littlefacelens Heather’s Insta: https://www.instagram.com/progression_lab Heather’s Substack: https://substack.com/@heatherpatersonwrites
