I’m curious about the woman-centric framing of all this social con messaging, is it the case that lots of twentysomething women are receiving marriage proposals from eligible men and turning them down? What’s the leverage point here?
It was a pleasure to contribute to @BradWilcoxIFS and @FamStudies’ series on the benefits of marrying young to reflect on my own experience and what I learned along the way. "When I started my first job out of college as a researcher at Harvard Business School, my coworkers had trouble remembering that my new husband was not my boyfriend or fiancé. We had just gotten married at ages 22 and 24, yet my two brilliant colleagues, who were headed to Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School, kept referring to him as my boyfriend. We laughed about it, but their confusion revealed something deeper: to them, marrying young seemed puzzling. Why would someone “limit” their choices so early in life?" In this piece, I explain why it didn't feel limiting and how it supported both my personal and professional growth. ifstudies.org/blog/marry-you…
🇬🇪 His Holiness and Beatitude, Archbishop of Mtskheta-Tbilisi and Patriarch of All Georgia, Ilia II, has passed away at 93 years old. He was the spiritual leader of the Georgian Orthodox Church and credited with expanding and deepening the faith in the Soviet and later post-Soviet period. May his memory be eternal.
