Therapist Stacey Sheller and Counselor Joanne Wilson Discuss Modern Dating Trends

Licensed therapist Stacey Sheller explains how each generation approaches romantic relationships. Gen Z prioritises emotional openness and mental‑health dialogue, Millennials view partnership as a shared financial and life goal, while older generations tend toward more traditional expectations.

In Australia, counsellor and neuropsychotherapist Joanne Wilson advises Christians to adopt a “slow‑burn” approach, emphasizing patience, character assessment and alignment with biblical principles. She notes that a majority of dating‑app users also prefer slower, more meaningful connections.
