Very interesting in that 75% of women were married by age 23 who were born in 1940, compared with 19% born in 1990.
In 1940 you graduated high school, got a job got married, Now you graduate college at 28 (or longer) and live in mom's basement, and play video games.
I can only speak for myself but as a 29 year old female, I want nothing more than to get married and raise a family. That being said I will not compromise my beliefs to rush the process. If he isn’t a Christian I’m not interested. The Bible says to not be unequally yoked, and regardless of societal norms and this age of tolerance, I cannot, in good conscience, sacrifice my convictions in the name of rushing to meet my own desires.
Not all of us suck, but the number of Bible believing Christian men seems to be dwindling. That or they’re already taken.
That’s not much of a story. Now if they were not REPRODUCING, that would be a story!
I will be disappointed if any of my children fail to get married, and I strongly encouraged them to start looking at about age 20 with an eye to a lifelong marriage. None will find the perfect man/woman for them, but they should be able to find someone who aspires to be the perfect marriage partner for them . . . if they also aspire to that status for their partners.
Marry at age 30-plus, and your odds of finding someone who values marriage and wants children go way down. Those who want those things are already married. Marry at age 18, and you have to get lucky to notice the right reasons with hormones raging. In between, perhaps from age 19-29, is the best time to look.
Who, in their right mind, wants to marry today’s woman?
Thanks for the post.
My sons read a web page called MGTOW.
More women need to read it. It is good to understand both sides and, like most topics, the MSM only gives us one side.
Marriage, between one man and one woman, has always been—and all always will be—the best chance for children to attain a happy, healthy life.
I am 28, believe in chastity until marriage, and only consider dating other Christians now. Last agnostic I gave a chance to was in the process of discovering she was a lesbian...
However, I have to admit women my age that are Biblically sound are extremely rare. I’ve always wanted to be a good husband and father.... but given the choices I have, its better I’ve stayed single.
Even millennials can’t find one they like enough to tie the knot.
