Restored: Helping Children of Divorce Dating is a Mess: A NEW Way to Meet High Quality, Virtuous People | Emily Wilson Hussem: #169
Dating today feels exhausting. Confusing. And for people from divorced or dysfunctional families, it can feel even heavier — because one wrong choice doesn’t just mean heartbreak… it can feel like repeating your parents’ story.
In this episode, Joey sits down with Emily Wilson, Catholic author and co-founder of Sacred Spark, to talk about the most important factor in building a healthy marriage: choosing the right person — and why modern dating culture makes that decision harder than ever.
Emily shares what she’s learned from helping nearly 20 couples get married through her viral matchmaking posts, why you can’t “analyze” your way into certainty, and how real discernment only happens when you actually meet people in real life.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why choosing who you marry matters more than anything else
- The fear of repeating your parents’ mistakes (and how to move past it)
- How real discernment happens through in-person dating
- A NEW way to meet high quality, virtuous people
If you’re single, want marriage, but feel anxious, stuck, or afraid of choosing wrong — this episode is for you.
