As far as the counsel the woman gave your friend- I dont think it had anything to do with her being married young but more of a reflection of her marriage as Rev DWW said.

You just have to be careful who you listen to for advice, but as far as selecting someone I think you have to be wise and get advice from parents and spiritual leaders.

A few of us might be interpreting the thread differently. I think he was saying that he was sick of getting advice from a married woman was never single as an adult -to singles.

You are correct Randy.

Right!

So: Married woman gives lousy advice to singles!

Only if they have never been single in their adult years, and think they know more about being single then the one who actually is.

(This goes for men too.)

Marriage can be quite nice.

Unfortunately, many folks have so much baggage that they find it difficult to be in close relationship with anyone. That is why it is so incredibly important to know the person you are considering marrying.

I have been married for 39 years, raised four children, and I highly recommend the institution. I believe my wife would agree with my assessment.

As a general rule married folks are happier and more productive than their unmarried counterparts, also unmarried men in particular die earlier.

I do suppose that married life is not for everyone, just read in I Cor. this morning where Paul said that, from his opinion, it was better to not marry. I however, totally disagree with the Apostle.

I have had the same advice given about having children. This is from people that have children and love their children. But advise against.

I have been married 37 years and love it.

Now, I agree that we should give prayer and supplication to something like marriage, but I do feel that people who have been married as long as she has and got married at the age she did, should not be telling any single people how to behave in the single life.

I think her experience would better serve women who are married instead of single women. She knows nothing about being saved and single because she really hasn't done it. She got married as soon as she turned nineteen years old.

I personally believe that married people need to be sure they don't overstep their boundaries in providing advice about something they don't know anything about. If you have been married 20 years, I just can't listen to you about being single.

Now, I feel better!

I was wondering how long the original title of this thread would last.
