The Marriage Myth (Pt 2): Who Needs ‘Mr. Right,’ Anyway?

In Part 1, Jess and Susie dissected how a salacious Newsweek report about women’s likelihood of getting married sparked a national panic. Here they share their own views on marriage – and unpack what we’d make of that silly story today. (If you haven’t listened to Pt 1, we recommend starting there!)

Guests:

• Sharon Attia, associate producer for IN RETROSPECT and resident young millennial
