About The Event

Most people want to get married. Most young adults are busy dating for years. Yet, no matter how good the intentions—or how famous the apps—marriage does not seem to materialize.

To better understand what is going on, our next reading group will read two books in parallel: one written by a man, addressing the “feminized”(?) society in which we live - Anthony Esolen, No Apologies; and one authored by a woman and focused on the ways in which the sexual revolution harmed women - Louise Perry, The Case against the Sexual Revolution. It is our hope that the joint reading of these books will help both sexes understand what we are or may be getting wrong about each other.

 

Dates: Jan. 26, Feb 9, Feb 23, March 9, March 23.
