When it comes to marriage...

What exactly are you waiting for?

I found (or rather neo directed me to) an interesting little article that examines the pros and cons of getting married young...like right now young. Like before we graduate young. The following quote taken from the article was rather inspiring:

"I don't want to minimize the hiccups and times of stress. But I can honestly say to you that while the adventures we shared as a dating and engaged couple were wonderful, the adventures we share as a married couple have been exponentially better because we know, without a doubt, that we are in this life together.

I highly recommend it."

Essentially the author points out that once you find the right person...why wait? If you already know that this is the person that God has called you to be with, that this is the one--then forget about being two and hurry up and become one. Society encourages us to put off marriage until we have matured and discovered who we are, but how can we focus on us when marriage is all about being one with someone else?! And perhaps the best way to maturity is not to wait for maturity, but to actively seek it. As Professor Theophilus says "It simply is not the case that first men and women become mature, then they take on responsibilities. Rather, only after they begin taking on responsibilities do they become mature. Responsibility itself is transformative."

You can read the rest here: I got married young, but not young enough!
