In this episode, we dig into the research that says... maybe not.

Deana and Diane unpack the surprising data behind who benefits most from marriage—and why single women, especially those who’ve never married, often report higher happiness, lower stress, and longer life expectancy.

This episode isn’t anti-marriage—it’s pro-awareness, pro-choice, and pro-women making decisions that truly serve them. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Is this relationship helping me thrive?”—this one’s for you.
