Married at 22. First kid at 23. No regrets. So why do Mormons get married so young—while the rest of modern culture seems stuck in hookup apps, pornography, and endless situationships? In this episode of Theological, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with Josh Carr, a young member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, political commentator, husband, father, and former missionary, for a conversation about Mormon dating, eternal marriage, sex before marriage, pornography, dating apps, modesty, masculinity, and why family is so central to LDS life. Josh explains why Latter-day Saints believe marriage is not only “till death do us part,” but an eternal covenant made in the temple. He says marriage helps human beings become more like God — both in the afterlife and in this life.
