About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of timing in dating and marriage, arguing that readiness often outweighs romance.

How much of dating really comes down to timing? In this episode, I argue that being in the right place at the right time matters a lot more than finding the right person. Using the metaphor of musical chairs, I reveal why people get married – and it’s more often to do with readiness, not romance. If you’re serious about settling down, this will change how you think about strategy, opportunity, and choice.
