The Spectator P.M. Episode 123: The Reasons Behind Liberal Womens Reluctance to Marry

In a recent episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo explored a significant social trend: the growing reluctance among young women to get married. Titled "Why Liberal Women Don’t Want to Get Married," the episode aired on March 24, 2025, and highlighted the reasons behind this shift.

The discussion tapped into recent surveys indicating that more young women prefer staying single rather than entering marriage. Holmes and Margo examined various factors contributing to this trend, including political and social differences between young men and women. They also pointed out how changes in dating culture, particularly the rise of online dating, might be impacting marriage rates negatively.

Listeners were encouraged to reflect on the implications of this trend, as the hosts argued that marriage should still be promoted as a valuable institution. The episode serves as a thought-provoking commentary on modern relationships and societal expectations.

For those interested in hearing the full conversation, the episode is available on platforms like Spotify and Rumble. Holmes and Margo also share their writings on the Spectator’s website, providing further insights into their views on marriage and relationships.
