I'm in my mid-20s and I'm perfectly willing to just that. Problem is, I haven't been out of school long enough to be making enough money just yet. The ladies will probably have to wait. My present salary is *very* meager, and that's just for me.

You make a good point. I think the sad part today is the BS thinking that a person needs to be financially set to get married. In the old days many men married decent women that knew they were starting out together poor and were fine with that. It wasn't about money and security it was about love, commitment, building something larger then themselves together over time.

The poor times of our lives can be the most lovely, resourceful, creative, and rewarding in a relationship.

The world sells a world of goods when they say we should have money. Plenty of people that don't have a lot are very happy. I hope you don't let the money thing stop you. You are a gentleman for wanting to provide, may God reward you with a beautiful, lovely-hearted wife who will honor you and God as well.

The truth is, I'm dirt poor right now, but I'm as happy as I've ever been in my life. The money just doesn't matter all that much to me. I need to find a lady who feels that same way about it, though.

This is the single most important part. If she does not love God, she cannot love me. If I do not love God and subject myself to His sovereign will, I cannot love my wife, nor can she respect me as a husband. She'd have no reason to and it really is that simple.
