While I agree with this message in general, I think it’s a mistake to suggest to young women that you must find someone while in your twenties. People can wind up just as miserable marrying the wrong person from a sense of urgency as from lifelong alone-ness.

Young women should have an ideal of the kind of person they would like, and then just let it go; live, laugh, make friends, with confidence that the right person will come along at the right time.

I didn’t meet my husband until I was in my late ‘thirties. Nobody that I met and fell in love with prior to that could have made me as happy as he has done. There were moments when I was lonely and wondered if I’d ever find him; but in general I had been raised to have many passionate interests and to believe in myself; and those years alone were filled with interesting pursuits and experiences that led to a lot of self-development.

the real message the woman misses is that she’s missing God, not a man, but the relationships come from God’s leading when you let him. No man or woman can fulfill what only God can fulfill so I agree as well.

this is exactly why the left pushes the government to take the place of God, the husband and father; it’s ALL a work of the devil.

As a society, we should encourage women to marry young, when they have most of their fertile years ahead of them. We need to get the majority of middle-class women to marry young enough that it's viable for them to have three or more kids.

A woman who marries at 22 has many more years of prime fertility ahead of her, and is more likely to have children.
