In our conversation with David Sarusdale, we tackled one of the most pressing social shifts of our time: the changing landscape of marriage. As the cost of living continues to climb, David suggests that the decision to “walk down the aisle” is no longer just a romantic milestone—it has become a high-stakes economic calculation.
He offered a fascinating breakdown of why both men and women are increasingly hesitant to commit, pointing to the skyrocketing costs of raising a family in today’s economy. However, David’s take isn’t all doom and gloom. He shared a counterintuitive theory on why this “higher consciousness” and lack of spontaneity might actually be a good thing for the future of the American family. In his view, the very factors making us more cautious could lead to a surprising trend in divorce rates that challenges how we think about long-term stability.
