Ashley and Bailee take a closer look at how evangelical culture framed marriage as the ultimate marker of spiritual maturity and the “arrival” into adulthood — and the ripple effects that followed.

From the rush to the altar to the unease around staying single, we explore how these spoken and unspoken rules shaped our choices, relationships, and sense of self. We also reflect on what lingers after leaving that world behind, and how we’re learning to reimagine love, partnership, belonging, and independence.
