I just don't get how its sinful if you're not fornicating to be single or delay marriage. I think that is just insane. At the turn of the century the life expectancy was approx. 47 so getting married in the late teens to early twenties made sense. It was necessary for survival. Now, however, the average life expectancy is 76 with procreation possible well into the 40s for women...why rush it?
I mean I want to get married when I can bring something to the table. Unfortunately, right now as a second year law student I can't bring too much, but some law books. Marriage is religious institution (I firmly belive this), but it is also a business partnership and it doesn't make good sense for someone to go into business with me right now. My boyfriend and I wait because God said for everything there is a time and it is just NOT our time right now.
I think to get married early because you are afraid you won't get married later is ridiculous. I truly believe EVERy Christian woman who has prepared herself in a Godly way can get married if she so desires. We must remember its not our time...its God's time.

OK...I don't believe that delaying marriage is a sin either...people are always making up new sins to fit their own agenda..
But at the same time...do you really believe that EVERY Christian woman can get married? Are there even enough men in the world to do that with the ratios? I hear what you're saying..but my only problem with this is that it causes women who are single and older is to question whether they're living "right" because they are not married yet. In my opinion...its sad but there are lots of woman that will never get married..though they want to...though they are living a Godly life... do you agree or disagree?
I am not being pessimistic just trying to be realistic
