She Says Marriage Is a Business Transaction - Here’s Why

In this episode of Let’s Fix Modern Dating, I sit down with Jocelyn Cañas for an honest conversation about love bombing, boundaries, and what men and women may be getting wrong about modern relationships.We start with one of Jocelyn’s biggest dating pain points: love bombing. She describes it as someone trying to create an intense emotional connection too quickly through attention, gifts, constant communication, and saying all the right things before genuinely knowing you. She shares a personal experience where the relationship started intensely, but once she became emotionally invested, the consistency disappeared and boundaries began being disrespected. That leads us into an important question: When does effort become manipulation? We discuss why the version of yourself you present at the beginning of a relationship needs to be sustainable, and why people should date with honesty and intention instead of creating an unrealistic version of themselves just to win someone over. We also have a deeper conversation about masculine and feminine roles. Jocelyn says she prefers a man who can take the lead, especially in the early stages of dating, because it allows her to feel more comfortable in her feminine energy, but she also emphasizes communication, transparency, and making sure both people actually agree on what “traditional” roles mean. From there, things get even more interesting when we talk about money and marriage. Jocelyn says she would not want to financially support a man and explains why she believes women should still maintain some financial independence even if they have a partner capable of providing for them. Then she gives one of the most provocative takes of the episode:Marriage should be viewed as a business transaction.Jocelyn explains why she believes women who want children should be extremely intentional about who they marry because pregnancy, motherhood, career impact, physical health, and mental health can create major sacrifices. We also bring back Crazy or Not, where I give Jocelyn unconventional ideas that might, or might not, help fix modern dating.We debate:Should you run a background check before entering a relationship?Should couples share phone passcodes?Should couples share their locations 24/7?Should opposite-sex friendships be banned once you enter a relationship?The goal of Let’s Fix Modern Dating is not to blame men or women. It is to have honest conversations about what each side experiences, expose the misunderstandings between us, and find realistic ways to create healthier relationships.Question for the comments:Do you agree with Jocelyn that marriage should be treated more like a business decision? Or does that take the romance out of it?Subscribe to Let’s Fix Modern Dating with Will Scott for honest conversations about attraction, relationships, masculinity, femininity, dating standards, communication, and modern romance.Follow the show on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/letsfixmoderndating/Follow Jocelyn Cañas on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the.flan.queen/This episode is brought to you by Elite Level Status Wines.Approachable, medium-bodied wines with great flavor and minimal aftertaste.15% OFF for listenersVisit: https://www.elitelevelstatus.co/ An Elite Level Status Podcast
