People have already listed the most pressing concerns. Here's mine, and it is for you.

I have resolved not to date anyone under 22. If they are younger than that, you'll fall pray to some dumb excuse to break up.

Thanks for the advice. however, i think i see everyone as an individual, not a number. its a good simple rule, but i prefer to go by looking in depth at the person instead of making snap stereotypes, which most of the time are true, but there are exceptions...and committing. i think we can make up excuses for anything and everything at all, even avoiding something and making the excuse that we will fall prey to an excuse. to sum it up, its important to have accountability in Christ in anything and everything. like in marriage...no excuses for divorce at all, but of course, there are exceptions too. but we always tend to justify or wrongdoings, and take the easy way out, hence it is important to be centred on Christ, and that is my priority:) don't mind my mindless rambling. just woke up:)

Unfortunately for sociaty frowns upon this these days. Many, many, years ago it was perfectly normal. Sorry Limelime.

people didn't live as long, even a hundred years ago, so 15-16 was not "15-16" if you understand what I mean, there was basically no medical care to speak of, so you were lucky to live to the ripe old age of 50-60, average age was 47, so you had to get started early having kids. Most doctors then didn't even go to a real medical school

On a separate note, people during the biblical times did live longer, at least before the flood...I wonder what's the reason for the falling life spans...and then noted its increasing again? does it mean people lived longer but married earlier? I think its also the labour intensive agricultural economy back then, people had to marry early, have more kids, and that's free labour to work the land?

exactly, you had to have a lot of kids to help, and it took all of them, it was the same here, it was a very difficult time
