  • Men on the contrary should delay as long as they can, unless they are burning with lust. 
    :facepalm:
    So many things wrong with this statement...
    A man "burning with lust" should not marry.

  • The Apostles would've known.  Their successors, the Church Fathers, would've known.  Most early Christians would've known.  It's called Tradition; it's information passed down through history.
    Of which we have no definitive source.

  • A man who feels he cannot provide yet should get real busy building a nest egg so he can get his girl in two to three years.  If he sulks in the victim mentality for too long, the young women will not be interested.  That may mean living under his means, with his parents, scrimping and saving, or looking for a woman who doesn’t mind living modestly.  There’s nothing wrong with living in a trailer home.  No 17-18 year old wants to marry a 37 year old man.  Give a listen to Dave Ramsey.  He will give you good advice.

    I disagree.
    There are many older female teens looking for a father figure and/or want the stability an older man may provide.

    A woman should not be looking for a "father figure" as a husband.

    What women want... can change. And does change. 

    Western society is far to individualistic to understand this anymore, but marriage has consequences far beyond personal preferences.

    Our main focus as men should be what is best, long run.

    While women will always have preferences, and you can't force them to have other ones. They can be reasoned with.

    But to answer it directy, they should want a guide and a leader. Not an equal. This is a feminist mentality.

    We should be also very considerate of the fact that the economy actively works against a sole income provider. Part of the NWO plan dont forget.

    So men need to be given a lot more time.

    Yes, but a lot of money can be saved in two years time working two jobs.  Yes, it’s hard but it can be done.  If this fellow sets aside nearly his whole income he can be in a great position to provide for his future family.  And God will undoubtedly help him provide once he is married as well.   I am just concerned some young men are so disheartened but they can do something about it.  They don’t have to wait a decade to get married.

    He is good with the budgeting for those trying to get out of debt. It ends there.

    They don't have to marry at all.  Remember, giving one's virginity to Our Lord is a higher calling, with or without Holy Orders.

  • On the contrary its precisely on topic.

    Woman should not delay at all for marriage, and the Blessed Mother gives girls that example.

    Men on the contrary should delay as long as they can, unless they are burning with lust. Because they make better leaders the more seasoned they are. And in this, St. Joseph gives the example.

    The ideal does not mean what is normally practiced. Most Catholics did not reach this ideal. But its still the ideal.

    I find attempts to undermine this ideal perverse.
    That's because most of the people calling St Joseph young are female feminists. This is why women need to be obedient to their husbands, they like the rationality that the male nature has and need to be led.
