In my humble experience, when a young woman says that she’s looking for a long-term, committed relationship, that leads to marriage, the men run like their tails are on fire. Most men in their 20’s aren’t interested in that and those in their 30’s find a woman in her early 20’s to be immature and vapid. (Too much of an age difference)
So I see a lot of whining from men on why they can’t find a ‘nice girl’... Well, the smart guys snatched them up ten years ago while you were enjoying your party.
My daughter was raised conservative with conservative values. She lasted ONE YEAR on the market before her 27 year old husband ‘wifed’ her.
Just stand outside the high school graduation ceremonies with a net.
You have it right, Marie. I have no daughters, only sons. I’ve tried to raise them to be marriage-minded. (I think their dad leaving only reinforced those teachings.) The oldest are in their teens, but I hope they continue to recognize the important of marriage and faithfulness into adulthood. I HOPE.
But, even if they do, will they meet young women who share their thinking on the importance of commitment in marriage? If my own observations are any indication, there aren’t many people of any age these days who believe in marriage and commitment.
