“Marry Me” is a timely and heartfelt documentary that explores the evolving perception of marriage in modern America. Through raw interviews with young adults, seasoned couples, and leading experts, the film reveals why marriage rates are declining and what society stands to lose. In a culture shaped social media, hookup norms, and fear of commitment, the film makes a passionate case for rediscovering the beauty, purpose, and lasting value of covenantal love.
