Get Married Young- Brad Wilcox

But visiting with her sister and newest niece at their home that day, Elizabeth didn’t feel happy about her promotion; she just felt sad about the absence of family in her life. “I sat there on the stairs in the house with her [and the baby],” she said, continuing, “And I would have given every dollar in my bank account to have my sister’s life… How empty the promotion felt when my sister has her third baby.”

Thanks, and very interesting. There are some concerning stats; Young adults overwhelmingly prioritize the Midas Mindset over marriage: while 75 percent of eighteen- to forty-year-olds consider making a good living crucial to fulfillment and 64 percent say the same about education, according to one recent poll, just 32 percent view marriage as essential.

Theoretical.

If God brought a damaged 18 year old girl into your life who is starting down the wrong path - already with dating trauma - who doesn't know if God exists and is already choosing between future "careers" instead of thinking about children, would you court her as an option?

Definitely. Court for a purpose not just jump in the sack but rather if she fits or willing to fit, in the personality of our family and follow me.

That wasn’t exactly where I was going with this link. It was mostly to report on the fact that our society is no better off or more content with delayed or absence of marriage. There might be financial struggles with earlier marriage, but also more years of contentment. It’s a balancing act. Poor and content or rich and miserable. Of course it’s not a binary choice, but early marriage is sold as poor and miserable. It’s not necessarily that way.

No, not for me. Preaching the gospel and making her a disciple of Jesus Christ would be the aim (cf. Matt. 24:19-20).

Modern morality is fighting against female innate biology. Sadly many women find this out too late.
