YouTube Description
as posted by the channelCardon sits down with Ella Katzenback and Leah Tomlinson to talk about how Gen Z at BYU is rethinking marriage, kids, and family size.
For decades, big families were a hallmark of Latter-day Saint culture—but today’s students are facing new realities. Rising costs, career pressure, and shifting expectations are changing how young adults approach marriage and parenthood. Some feel the weight of being a provider before they can even think about kids, while others wrestle with choosing between education, career goals, and starting a family.
Still, the love for family runs deep. Many BYU students say they want four to six kids, even if they recognize the challenges of living that dream in today’s world.
This episode dives into the tension between faith, finances, and modern values—and how a new generation of Latter-day Saints is finding its own way forward.
