Our society is experiencing many changes in the concept of marriage and relationships, as the desire for traditional marriage has begun to decline, and consanguineous marriage, which used to be prevalent, has decreased. In contrast, the desire for marriage based on prior knowledge has increased, and premarital relationships have become more common, but they often do not end in a formal commitment. Has marriage become difficult? Or is there a reluctance to it?
My guest in this episode, **Mohammed Al-Olayan**, a psychiatric consultant and founder of the Awaser application, believes that the problem is not reluctance to marry, but rather a crisis of finding a partner! The person looking for marriage does not know where to start, which is the idea that inspired him to found the platform.
The platform brings together those looking for marriage, without any intermediary, and with complete privacy, and it has interesting characteristics and conditions, such as paying at the beginning to prove the users' seriousness, and the absence of specifying physical characteristics in the personal profile! He sees it as nothing but commodification, so how does the platform work? And has it succeeded in facilitating marriage for users? And why does he disagree with providing a compatibility feature between partners?
My guest elaborates on the topic of relationships, especially premarital ones. Al-Olayan says: The prevailing emotional relationships now are in the dark, lasting for many years without a clear end. So what is the ideal form of relationships, especially those that arise online? And why don't most of them end in marriage?
