    Thank you for joining the conversation In this episode of the Higher Reasoning podcast, we talk about the cultural tradition of marriage and how it has evolved in the 21st century, past the idea of it solely being for the legitimation of coupling, children and sex.

Also how weddings are about individualised conformity to traditions and a symbol of cultural capital.
