The Cultural Whiplash
For years, marriage was marketed as the ultimate trap. We were told freedom meant “no labels,” “no commitments,” and “no strings.”
But now the same generation that coined situationship is quietly craving stability. It’s not because they’re old-fashioned. It’s because they’ve seen what loneliness in the name of independence actually feels like. They’ve watched their parents’ divorces, their friends’ heartbreaks, and the emptiness that follows endless swiping.
For many, this isn’t theoretical—it’s personal. Nearly 25% of Gen Z was raised in single-parent homes. They’ve witnessed what it looks like when marriages fail or never happen at all. They know firsthand the ache of instability, the fatigue of watching love fall apart, and the longing for something that lasts.
And suddenly, marriage doesn’t look so outdated. It looks revolutionary.
Gen Z has discovered what many before them forgot: Freedom without roots isn’t freedom, it’s drifting.
And they’re done drifting.
When Counterculture Becomes Covenant
Charlie Kirk said it best in one of his recent Turning Point USA interviews:
“Our culture’s bad philosophies have steered young people away from marriage, but marriage and family are God’s design for a fulfilling life.”
That message struck a nerve. Because deep down, Gen Z isn’t running from commitment, they’re running from chaos. They’re exhausted by the revolving-door relationships that leave them more confused than connected.
They’ve tried the modern experiment and it failed. Now they’re reaching back for something ancient that actually works.
That’s why Charlie Kirk’s words and the movement rising from them matter.
I was shook when he referenced me in an interview and invited his audience to check out my Last Year Single® program, a matchmaking and marriage movement that’s helped thousands step into marriage.
It’s proof: People aren’t just talking about marriage again. They’re fighting for it.
The Revival Nobody Saw Coming
Here’s the twist: Gen Z, the generation everyone thought would “cancel” tradition, is reviving it.
They’re rejecting hookup culture, questioning “situationship logic,” and re-embracing purpose.
They’re realizing that:
- Casual doesn’t equal carefree.
- Modern dating apps don’t equal good options.
- And marriage isn’t the end of your freedom, it’s the beginning of your legacy.
But this revival isn’t just about rings and romance. It’s about vintage values.
The same way they thrift clothes and refinish mid-century furniture, they’re rediscovering what’s timeless: Loyalty, honor, responsibility, family, and faith.
They’ve seen how the modern mess of fake filters, quick hookups, and disposable relationships doesn’t deliver on its promises. They want something real, even if it’s not perfect. They want connection over curation, depth over aesthetics, and devotion over dopamine hits.
They’re not chasing the fantasy anymore. They’re ready to do the work that builds real love.
Why This Matters
Because strong families start in the quiet decision of two people who refuse to let culture define them.
They start with women and men who decide:
“I’m done settling for half-love and half-truth.”
The Last Year Single® movement was built for exactly that kind of decision, where faith meets strategy, and preparation meets promise.
It’s not just a program.
It’s a countercultural call to restore what’s been broken, one marriage at a time.
A Movement, Not Just a Moment
Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA have ignited a conversation about why marriage still matters.
But what’s happening next is bigger than a conversation, it’s becoming a movement.
A generation that’s been trained to fear commitment is finally realizing that commitment is power.
They’re done mistaking detachment for strength. They’re choosing devotion instead.
Because rebellion isn’t breaking tradition anymore. Rebellion is bringing it back.
And make no mistake, this revival won’t just heal homes. It will heal culture.

Marriage isn’t dead, it’s being rebranded.
