October 11, 2025
Can a rational philosophy of love survive in today’s culture of emotionalism and collectivism?
In this episode, Yaron Brook explores the controversial topic of marriage, money, prenups, and individualism — what they reveal about values, integrity, and independence.
From why honest couples sign prenups, to how shared values sustain long-term love, Yaron applies Objectivist principles to one of life’s most personal — and moral — commitments.
This episode dives into the values that make strong relationships — and free societies — possible.
