Why Dating Is A Failed Concept
Why is dating broken?
Why are young men flooding back to church?
In this conversation, I sit down with Patrick Coffin: Catholic broadcaster, close-up magician, and host of The Patrick Coffin Show. We go deep on the real reasons relationships are falling apart: and it goes back further than you think.
We cover:
→ Why dating is a failed concept (and what humans actually need)
→ The 3 "divorces" that broke Western civilization
→ How your image of God shapes your attachment style
→ Why empaths and narcissists can't stop finding each other
→ The difference between emotional permanence and emotional impermanence
→ What the Traditional Latin Mass has to do with secure attachment
→ Why "spiritual but not religious" is code for "I don't want to be challenged"
→ The biochemistry of feeling loved (oxytocin, vasopressin, and cortisol)
→ How to repair after conflict: the skill most families lost 120 years ago
Plus: Patrick performs a live magic trick that lands.
This is the intersection of faith, neuroscience, and attachment theory: the stuff that actually changes how you bond.
