For instance, what do "young" people think when we say that marriage is to make us holy and not happy? Heck, what do "old" people think?! Is "progress" good or is it just a blanket covering for anything that goes against tradition? Listen in and join the conversation. You may just be enlightened and enjoy yourself along the way.
