As if a 20s woman isn't a young lady? People need to resume life in the real world.
Thank you for this post.
Based on what I have read, I have gathered the following regarding the OP (or a few of these males):
- Want to marry a 17-18 year old female to ensure "peak fertility"
- Will need 1-2 years of courting, so she will be 15-16 when he begins courtship
- Cannot be educated
- Currently mid-20's and will need time to make money (see cost of living/job posts)
- Ideal marriage age difference 37 male to 18 female
This will mean that he needs to start "sourcing" his bride for ten years from now. The bride will have to be 4-6 years old right now.
I have not seen a discussion of how she will be able to have children, and run the household with little to no education. Granted, he will probably state there is some education, but one does not know what since there is no elaboration. There is never ever any mention of her faith and catechism understanding either...
Who will handle the grocery shopping? Bills? Dealing with various repairs/utility situations? Hiring folks for possible work on vehicles/house jobs? What happens if the husband dies?
