What if you had to date your spouse in the age of TikTok, ChatGPT, and DM culture? In this episode of *Grown & Growing*, Keion and Shaunie Henderson unpack what love, commitment, and intimacy look like when algorithms are running the room.
They get into:
- Why this generation has more information about relationships than ever — and more confusion
- Raising kids (especially sons) who aren't in a rush to marry or start families
- The difference between real love and "cultural love" when the butterflies fade
- Choosing a co-parent carefully, and why picky isn't shallow
- Deal breakers, dinner-table pet peeves, and the missing-front-tooth debate
- Why you don't really know someone until you live under the same roof
- How AI, DMs, and voice notes are quietly replacing real conversation
- Phone calls, anxiety, and the lost art of just talking
It's honest, funny, and a little uncomfortable in the best way — a conversation about protecting real intimacy in a world built for shortcuts.
