I think the key word is balance.

Would you do this at the expense of creating weak men and women that have no real knowledge of how to treat one another once they are married and such? There are many in our churches that grew up in abusive homes and such that have no good example how to treat the opposite sex and raise kids and handle money. The church should not only exist to 'reach the lost' ONLY. Cause if all we do is try to reach newbies and not teach and build firm foundations under the ones we have AND reach the lost the back door will become a ton wider than the front, IMO.
