With marriage rates on the decline....do people still want to get married? And why does it still hold the significance it does? We're joined by Allison Raskin, who just published a book digging all the complexities of modern day marriage, inspired from her experience overcoming a broken engagement to tying to knot with her now-husband. We're chatting about the societal expectations and importance of marriage today, how to make the leap of faith a little less scary, and what to do when you and your partner aren't on the same page (or timeline) about marriage.

To learn more about Allison, follow her @allisonraskin, visit her website https://www.allisonraskin.com/, and check out her book 'I do (I think).'
