Why are there so many single men who don't want to get married? Dr. Jamal Shahid, author of Broader Perspectives in Effectively Educating All Of Us, and Dr. Obari Cartman, author Lady's Man: Conversations For Young Men About Relationships and Manhood, discuss the evolving attitudes of Black males regarding marriage and family. Are men even being socialized to prepare themselves for marriage when they reach adulthood? Or has divorce and out of wedlock births made it more common to remain a "player" for the rest of ones life and just a "baby daddy" to the children? How do we reverse this dysfunctional trend?
