[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 69695903, member: 326155"] You missed the "ten," right? That would be 23. And I know too many 30-year-olds still waiting to get married, particularly black women. I would suggest that in those "many cultures" the marriage was signed and sealed with the only dealbreaker being the bride's inability to conceive. That's not different from cultures in which the bride had to be guaranteed a virgin: "Married unless the goods are damaged." That is not at all the same thing as casual sex before marriage. With the aged parents living with their children and being cared for by their grandchildren. Social Security isn't going to last forever even in the US. The extra adult(s) do what they're able to do--just as all in the Body of Christ should be doing. This isn't anything new in the world. The current state of the West is what's new--and by no means tested by time. It's only been like this for a generation and a half, and is already showing signs of collapse. But you missed my point. My point was that modern Western Christian parents who expect young people not to have sex are placing a demand of extended abstinence on them that the early Church did not. [/QUOTE]
