If you want a guy with financial security, marry older, otherwise you have to start slow (e.g. renting an apartment). If you want many kids, as a woman, you should marry young. Usually younger people can have more patience dealing with babies and children and the sleep deprivation and pregnancy is easier.

And when you say "work out", do you mean go to the gym or just lifting weights? Yeah, guys should do that to boost their testosterone.

Even then, "miracles" can be simulated by the devil, and a "miracle" by itself does not guarantee any authenticity.  It's only the Church's judgment that can result in moral certainty, of at least "safety," of heeding the words of an alleged locution.  That's my issue with Bishop Williamson's use of alleged "Eucharistic miracles" to "prove" the potential validity of the NOM.  It would be childsplay for a demon to swap out a host with some human heart muscle (and then to keep it fresh) ... assuming that's even what those phenomena were in Poland, for instance, rather than some red mold.  #1 criterion of the Church in evaluating any private revelation or miracle is its theological orthodoxy.  Because the NOM Eucharistic Miracles give the impresion that the sacrilegeous bastardized Prot Liturgy can be not only valid but even pleasing to God (to confirm it with miracles), that would instantly rule them out on the basis of heterodoxy.  We don't derive our theology from private revelation, but judge private revelation on the basis of Catholic theology.

This is absolutely correct!  The Catholic Church always judged firstly on faith.  Are there any contradiction to Catholic doctrine and tradition in the supposed message?  In our present modern circuмstances,  we have no faithful hierarchy to judge the apparitions popping up all over the world.  Our Lady certainly knows the present crisis, so why would she even appear?  
Mathew 24:24
For there shall arise false christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.

But speaking of needing to be "a little crazy" to get married, the same goes for natural masculine ambition. A man has to be a little crazy, willing to stand out, willing to excel, be the first, the best -- that takes a certain willingness to turn off his reason but only A) temporarily and B) limited scope or area.

For example when I wrote my games for Android. I wanted to see what I could accomplish. I invested a lot of time, and I did learn a lot. I didn't write the next Angry Birds, but I still have fond memories of that stage of my life. I learned a lot that I use in my career to this day.

An even better example was when I first got married, I wrote an entire Warcraft II clone (that's a CD-ROM DOS game - Real Time Strategy) in the browser! Using primitive Javascript. Basically a master-class at what you could do with Javascript and the browser at the time. It was literally a webpage, that acted like a professional CD-ROM game. Changed mouse cursor, keybindings, everything. And Internet Explorer 6.0 (remember that?) even let you reassign the F5 key! Can you imagine that? It saved your progress to a server. There was a mini-map, and everything. I wish it still worked.

I looked and looked, and couldn't find any other game on the Internet like it. I mean we're talking a browser game, in 2006. What kind of browser games (no install) would let you experience Warcraft II? Mine was with penguins instead of humans/orcs.

But again -- I was motivated, and wanted to learn. I would never have time for that kind of project now, with the size of my family and land. Too many responsibilities. But as a single or newlywed -- yeah! Men need to be willing to take risks and tackle huge challenges and projects.

And let's not forget the wild project of a city boy moving to the country! I had never owned land before *or even lived in a rural setting before* when I bought this place. I had to learn EVERYTHING about living and working in the country. Of course I have zero regrets on this heading and I wouldn't have it any other way -- but I'll readily admit that if I hadn't been a bit crazy, I would never have done it. Especially since we bought this place before we sold our first house.

The same goes for having a large family. My wife had 2 brothers. I had 2 sisters (and when I was 14, my parents gave me a brother). So both of us were from average/small families. But we embarked on the "adventure" of Big Family life. And homeschooling life for that matter. My mom started homeschooling when I was a Junior in HS. Wife and her siblings all went to public school too. So we got almost comfortable with launching out into the deep, into uncharted territory, with only pre-Vatican II books and some older parishioners as our guide. Parents really weren't any help; they were typical Boomers. (3 formula-fed, vaxxed kids, sent to public school, live in the city, in a house with a 30 year mortgage, etc.)

Or starting any business. It takes a certain risk appetite, a certain "healthy large self esteem", to pour yourself into a business that you think will succeed that others failed at, or no one else (but you) thought of!

As I so often jokingly say, "You only live once, and I'm gonna prove it!"
