I think that so many are indulging in pre-marital sex with birth control that there is not as much incentive for them to marry as there is with a chaste couple. It all plays into the population control people's plans, because the longer they can delay a woman having a baby, the better off they are, as her most fertile years will soon pass.Wendy Haughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03224112973689131637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102126498629529342.post-18019280560533684592010-05-27T20:10:48.476-05:002010-05-27T20:10:48.476-05:00Oh I regret the mentality that we have to wait til...Oh I regret the mentality that we have to wait til we have finished college, have a career, have "lived life," or whatever, before we get married. I was married at 21, but still wish we had just gotten married right away when we decided we wanted to, rather than waiting as long as we did. Well let's just be honest. It's hard to be abstinant until marriage if you don't get married young! So if that (abstinance) is something we want to encourage in young people, then we should be encouraging them to go ahead and get married as teens or early 20s!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692366999970728146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102126498629529342.post-67187278128377026402010-05-27T12:18:44.786-05:002010-05-27T12:18:44.786-05:00Dear Vanessa,

I married at 21 (wanted to earlier, but didn't find the right man till then ;-) ) I mostly got lectured when engaged about the quickness of it all, that how could I be sure etc etc.. (we dated for 6 weeks before getting engaged and were married 6 months after that)But we are now going on 6 years! <br /><br /> Now I mostly get comments about how many kids I have for my age... friends at story time, bible study etc are usually 10 years older with the same number or less than me :-) (3 going on 4 in Dec)<br /><br /> Thanks for the links as well, I am planning on reading them now!Vanessa VHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15480248461585115642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1102126498629529342.post-35804090031465262382010-05-27T10:23:12.347-05:002010-05-27T10:23:12.347-05:00Dear Jenny,

For some reason I woke this morning remembering a conversation I had years ago with a dear friend who is our priest. I was telling him my husband and I were very weak Catholics when we married. He asked, "Weak but well meaning?" My unfortunate reply, "No, just very weak." Through God's amazing grace, we are going to celebrate out 18th wedding anniversary this fall. We married when we were 20 & 21 with no career lined out for him and a lot of growing up on my part.<br /><br />Thank you for this wonderful post and link.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680470602835526738noreply@blogger.com
