 26-28 is decision time.
My opinion: 17-21 should be decision time for a traditional Catholic woman in the US and abroad.

You're totally right. I do agree. 

but I guess what I meant was that 28 is really the point of no return. When the propaganda maxes out and has completed its work. 


After this point, almost without exception, a woman is totally ruined for marriage. The lies continue in society and even in tradition of course. Reducing a woman down to the mere act of having children, and paying no attention to her ABILITY to be a good mother. So people get away believing they can meet someone in their thirties. This delusion is furthered by the wimpy men who do go for them. But by her thirties a woman knows she is incapable of living in a subordinate relationship that is marriage. It is so, so far away from when she should have done it. 

Thank you boomers, for destroying your daughters and leaving us with this mess.

Spoke with a trad priest recently about why there are so few young marriages....family interference was the #1 problem. Meaning the parents thought the prospective groom or bride wasn't "good enough" or "Catholic enough" for their precious child.  Most notably was a pre-occupation with whether or not the prospective groom was a "pedophile".

Bingo.You hit on a really crucial point here.

Talking even within the resistance, there is a HUGE gulf of opinion between the opinion of priests and parents on this issue. The priests know Catholic history, teaching, etc. etc. They are the ones who do marriage prep after all. Almost ALL of them have no issues with age gaps. 


The parents however are the opposite. I have struggled to meet parents within the resistance who are ok with it. Even when they are, then the next issue is whether their daughters are ok with it. Usually once they have cellphones, they're toast anyway. But hey, me even saying that, is being a "predator" right?

One resistance priest described this as worldliness to me. He's totally right.

This fallacy that you must be close in age is indeed based on worldliness.  These girls want a "best friend" who is an equal, not a superior who will instruct and guide them.  A husband closer in age is more easily controlled and manipulated.  And that is better for an interfering family as well.  A mature older gentleman isn't going to let the MIL call the shots.
