Ep 61 Should You Get Married Traditionally or Elope?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Chasing Masculinity, host Colton Wutzke explores the question many engaged men wrestle with today: Should you pursue a traditional wedding or choose to elope? By first defining what marriage is biblically and covenantally, the episode separates the meaning of marriage from the modern wedding industry, exposing how cultural pressure, performance, and cost have distorted priorities around getting married.
The episode walks through what weddings have become, the financial and spiritual risks of starting a marriage in debt, and how elopement can re-center the covenant back where it belongs. It offers practical guidance for men who want to honor God, protect their future marriage, and make wise, intentional decisions without being driven by spectacle or social expectation.
