Why is dating so difficult for young people today? On Driving Home the Faith, Ken Craycraft speaks with Emily Dinneny, social media apologist for Catholic Answers and spokesperson for the new book YouCat Love Forever from Ignatius Press. They discuss why modern dating can feel like an endless series of choices, how dating has become disconnected from its purpose, and the dangers of treating potential spouses like products that can simply be “swiped” away.

Emily also explores why many young adults are delaying marriage, the impact of social media and unrealistic expectations about romance, and the importance of patience, discernment, commitment, and recognizing that marriage is not simply about finding the perfect person—it is also about allowing God to sanctify us through the vocation of marriage.
