Clearly this article is a ploy to force people into marriage – just to fall in line with traditional religious values. How about advising people to marry because they truely WANT to?

I could not agree more! I have had the hardest time finding guys that are not immature and childish. Our culture is truly making light of the idea of responsibility but instead they say why have responsibility until its necessary. then our culture says here are some ways to get what you want without that hard stuff. We have a major lack of REAL MEN now adays.

Secondly, your point number 4 about focusing on having high standards is a very valid one. its not that high standards are bad but you will never get a guy/ girl that meets those high standards if you don't meet them your self. someone who is waiting for the right guy/girl who is a serious christian Etc., which is the type that you should want, is not going to look at you if your not that. I always say, if your looking for prince charming, before you meet him, be preparing your self to be the princess (or prince)

I think you make an (invalid) assumption in #7: that women only pursue eduction because they are afraid of their husband dying. I know plenty of women who are pursuing education because they either love the experience, love to learn and study, or are dedicated to developing a set of skills simply out of love of the occupation or activity. Why is it that many Christian conservatives (like homeschoolers) seem to assume that women don't /want/ to go to college? And if that is where that woman happens to be called and gifted, then why prevent her from doing that?

This is very thought provoking. It would take a lot to change this cultural trend.

I am a little confused about #7…

Are you saying that men delay marriage due to debt incurred by the female pursuing a bachelors/graduate degree?

#4 “Singles need to focus more on being the right person instead of finding the right person”

This is so true for both sexes.

If I waited until I had enough money or maturity to:

- ask a girl out on a date, I would have never dated
- seek a wife, I’d never seek a wife
- ask Ginger to marry me, I would have never asked
- actually get married, I would have never married her
- have a child, we would have never had a child
- have 4 more, we would have never had 4 more children

We tried/try to keep Jesus first, and God provides our needs according to His riches in glory. We work out our own salvation in fear and trembling, and He works in us the will to do His good pleasure.
