Tip: On the First Date, Ask them "what is a woman?" If they can't answer, they're not the one, Pal.

I'm 36, like Matt. I got married at 19. Even back when I first got married, a question everyone asked was "how many kids do you have?" And they were surprised to find out it was NONE! Because getting a girl knocked up was the only possible reason anyone could fathom a 19 year old getting married. But I married for love, and we are still going strong.

I'm 23, got married 5 months ago, we had dated for 3 yrs. We were saving ourselves for marriage. Best decision of my life.

I met a young man in college who asked me out on a date. I accepted, and while we sat in a restaurant on that first date, I told him that I only dated men who were Christian and whom I believed could be a great husband. We became engaged a year later, and married in another year. We are now almost (June 2023) at 50 years of marriage. Throw out the dating apps and bachelor shows. Just saying. 🙂

I was 19 when I met my husband in 1992. I had never heard of the internet. We met in college. Dated for 2 years and then got married in 1994. We’ve now been married for 28 years and raised our son together. We’ve had our ups and downs but now our marriage is the strongest it has ever been. So yes, Matt is right! Old-fashioned or not. Dating to marry is still the best way!

Matt I can truly say with full confidence that as a single man who has been dating for the past 6 years, you have not even scratched the surface of how bad it is. You should honestly have me on the podcast and I will generate an entire season of shows from dating as a conservative in California.

25-year-old man living in liberal New Zealand, I'm an alien here, I feel like I'm the only one who holds traditional beliefs and doesn't want to engage in meaningless 'relationships' and hookups. I want a family, I want purpose, I want to be a good husband and father because that is what is right. Thanks for the video, sums it up nicely

[samchiu]

I'm 15, and find it very tempting to conform to society's skewed views on dating. Thank you Matt, for your words of wisdom.

I was 19, husband had just turned 21 when we got married. Almost a decade later and 3 kids in, couldn't be happier. My husband is my partner in everything, he's the breadwinner and I homeschool the kids, but now he's backing me up as I run for school board! You can do so much more when you're married ❤️

[keto-ish]

We raised our girls with the idea that you don't date until you're ready to get married, both my husband and I experienced such heartache in the dating scene! Plus when I was young I had tied my self-worth to having a boyfriend so each breakup made me feel like I was unlovable.

[Sonofadam]

I’m 32, I married at 21. We have 4 kids now & it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I have indeed had the same thoughts that Matt has about dating today. I’m very grateful for my marriage.

[viola]

I hate dating so much nowadays that I just gave up and accepted being alone over constant disappointments

[shalomchoga]

I just turned 26 and I somehow wish I was born in the 70's or 80's because this generation is overwhelming in all aspects.I thank God for people like Matt..a voice of reason.

[noahhecker]

I’m currently courting a woman with both of us having the intention to be married one day, and I love Matt’s comparison about being married is better than wandering the cold world alone. I’d rather go through the struggles of marriage and get through them stronger, than be left bitter and alone

[rinoacooly]

I’m a few years older than my husband and when he first said he wanted us to date seriously, I told him I’m dating with marriage in mind and I have certain standards I expect and if he wasn’t interested in that, I had no hard feelings but it would be best not to continue dating. Well, we are married 6 years now with two kids and life is good.

[crossthreader]

Last chopper out of Nam is a pretty good analogy. Glad I’ve been married for almost 15 years. Good luck to future generations

[brucemcneill]

I’ve been married for over 17 years and we have two fantastic kids. Life is good.
This is the best advice I’ve seen in a long time.
I’m forwarding it to all my single friends.

I met my husband through Tinder. We were both in our 30’s. I had a bad car accident and was stuck at home with a injured leg. I downloaded tinder that day because I was bored and I wanted to chat. He was living in a very small town were everyone knew his ex and his trainer convinced him to download tinder and to put another location that day. It was definitely meant to be. Being single after 30 sucks. The type of people you meet come with a lot of baggage, but there is also a lot of good people looking for love as well. We were honest from the start. I told him I just wanted to chat because of my accident and he told me his hope was to find a good woman to marry and have kids with. I was like: “ bruh! Tinder isn’t the right place for that!” 😂 little did I know… I got lucky!

Don’t lose hope! ❤

[ControveryDisturber]

My husband and I treated "dating" as an interview process and before meeting ruthlessly eliminated applicants who weren't marriage material. We ended up being each other's first serious relationship because we were the first people we each met with aligned values and who were interesting to talk to for longer than a few hours.

[Amalthea]

Great video, Matt! We need to restore courtship and dating with purpose, plus the value of marriage.
