Ep. 24 | Should every young adult live on their own before getting married?

In this episode of Spill the Chai, we dive into one of the biggest transitions in adulthood: learning to stand on your own two feet. Should college students move to another city after graduation? Does living independently make someone a better spouse? How does learning to manage finances, responsibilities, and everyday life prepare someone for marriage, family, and serving their community? We share our perspectives on why independence isn't about distancing yourself from family, it's about building confidence, resilience, and life skills that allow you to show up as an equal partner in future relationships. Whether you're a college student, recent graduate, parent, or simply navigating adulthood, this conversation offers practical insights and a fresh perspective on preparing for the next stage of life. ☕ In this episode, we discuss: Why every young adult should learn to be independent The benefits of living in another city after college Preparing for marriage before finding a spouse Building confidence through responsibility Learning to manage life without depending on others Why independence strengthens families and communities Advice for college juniors, seniors, and recent graduates 💬 We'd love to hear from you: Would you encourage your child to move away for a year or two after college?
