Please, parents, stop telling your children that they should have their fun first when they get married. Tell them that marriage is a blessing and our enjoyment comes from building a family.
It is not God's way to be sure to have fun first. Fun is a matter of perspective. We don't need "fun" we need commitment and joy in doing what comes naturally in building a family.
When people are taught to believe that marriage is a burden and fun is the objective as long as possible, the young people remain immature longer.
It is spiritual and emotional growth that comes from marrying and raising a family. The longer we play in a marriage the less we mature.
1 Corinthians 13:10-11
"10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I [a]became a man, I did away with childish things."
When we marry too old and have children too old we delay spiritual and emotional growth. It is in doing these things that we grow and mature.
Delayed marriage, delayed children also brings delayed maturity.
