As kids, we had moments where we imagined what the future would look like. Maybe we pictured being a cowboy, a firefighter, or maybe – if we were really feeling ambitious – even President of the United States.

Nearly all of us probably envisioned that, when we grew up, we’d find someone to spend our lives with. But, for more Americans than ever before, we’re travelling the road of life without a sidekick.
So what about us singles? Are we just exotic? Is marriage something we should even want in 2015? And how can we navigate the ever more befuddling realm of dating in a way that honors God – and actually works?

And now here’s our full conversation with Lisa Anderson! There’s much more insight, practical advice, and quite a few laughs as well.
