"When we went out the first time, I was like, 'This is a totally different vibe and it's way better,'" McCain shared on The Ben Shapiro Show in October 2019. "I tell women, 'Conservative men have better family values and they take dating, family and marriage more seriously.' I think if you're serious - which I was when I met my husband - about getting married and having kids and wanting to go to the next phase, I just found ... finally dating a conservative man was the one.

And I'm like, 'Well, we were at Mayo Clinic and my father had his scan,'" she shared at the time. "And we got engaged because we decided to sort of celebrate life and celebrate being alive and all these things. It's not the most romantic story, but he is my partner." Meghan also noted that she was surprised to be wearing a ring because she "never thought" she would get married. "I want the single girls out there to know, I don't consider this an achievement, and it's just part of my life," she said. "Wait for the men who love strong women. Don't settle for less. Don't settle for anything else."
