I agree with you morals argument, but I not sure if you're reading what I'm saying.

While I wish morals alone taught by parents could keep people from having pre-marital sex for 10+ years after puberty, we have to admit to ourselves that lenthy ammount of time it's a stretch for most people. This was not how it was done 2000 years ago. People got married at puberty!

I'm simply saying we're putting ourselves at an environmental disadvantage by un-naturally prolonging our adolescence. I'm proposing making things more traditional, which of course would be more conducive to living Christian moral lives.

Yes, and the marriages LASTED! Notice, no teenage period of non-responsibility. All of childhood was in preparation to be an adult.
