I honestly think the reason why some (not all) Christians in their 20s are so marriage hungry is because we want to satisfy our sexual drives and longings in a legitimate way. Some of us don't even need the church mores and commandments (or the statistics, or consequences and scares that happen to friends) in order to avoid premarital sex- we just feel too uncomfortable with it by nature.
I don't want kids. I don't want a picket fence- or even a single family home to be honest. I don't want to become a soccer mom. I seek my own status as an individual and do not want to simply become "Mrs. Such and Such". I just want someone to love in a romantic way- with all that it entails- and that our relationship is blessed and approved by God.
