Even young widow women are told to remarry and bear children. Very few are called to a lifetime of singleness. And marrying in order not to sin is quite Biblical.<br /><br />1 Corinthians 7:9 <i> But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion.</i> ESV<br /><br />Berean WifeBerean Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658068276440524205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661417317972941602.post-8945463451982849512009-08-13T10:55:12.326-07:002009-08-13T10:55:12.326-07:00Hi, Berean Wife!

Personally, I don't think it is wrong to marry young, but don't get married young only to say that you didn't have sex before marriage. That's a foolish reason to get married.<br /><br />Ironically, I understand the desire to wait until after college to marry... probably because I waited until after Bible school to seriously continue dating my now-husband.<br /><br />Thanks for the input!<br />PIPPerfect in Imperfectionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743853734179822813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6661417317972941602.post-12532962567216909352009-08-12T22:09:59.916-07:002009-08-12T22:09:59.916-07:00PIP,

Modesty, purity of heart, consideration for others, etc. But like you said the most important is the Holiness of God and His desire for us to live holy lives.<br /><br />But I do agree that parents and even the church act like getting married young is a sin. Their demands to wait for college and careers is foolish and asking for trouble. It comes right along with wait about having children until you can afford it. Ha! If you wait until you can afford them, you will never have children. You can never afford something priceless; children are blessings not financial burdens.<br /><br />Berean WifeBerean Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10658068276440524205noreply@blogger.com
