Co-sign. That guy had one too many puffs on the crack-pipe.

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.
