About this listen

In this episode of Living with Boundaries, we tackle a question every parent will eventually face:

When is the right time for our kids to get married?

Is it better to marry young and grow together?
Or wait until careers are established and maturity is fully developed?

Josh and Matt take different positions in this conversation, referencing the book Outdated: Find Love That Lasts When Dating Has Changed by Jonathan Pokluda*, and unpack how modern dating culture has shifted expectations around commitment.

We explore:

  • Cultural pressure to delay marriage
  • The risks of marrying too young
  • The risks of waiting too long
  • Emotional, financial, and spiritual readiness
  • What boundaries parents should set — and which ones they shouldn’t

This isn’t about controlling our kids’ timelines.

It’s about raising men and women who are spiritually grounded, emotionally healthy, and ready to build covenant marriages that last.

Living with Boundaries is a podcast for dads who want to lead their homes with clarity, conviction, and courage.
