Its like, if we should "fall" between 18-25, there's no help until we are way past 30. I don't wanna be "backslided" until I'm 30 because people can't comprehended or understand me. You know, pssh, Teenage years are a breeze.
But if your single and in your 20s, your at that age, where your figuring yourself out, and know what you want in a partner but its like, you can only find that outside the church, and its not fair.

I fully believe that a couple should be 'equally yoked', but there is much disagreement on what that means exactly and how far it needs to be taken. I have seen everything from people only being allowed to date others in their own church (as in building) to someone else as long as it was in the same organization, to someone else as long as they were a Christian -which is the camp I fall in. For the first, and most extreme group, it led to a comedy of round-robin style dating as everyone "liked" someone else every few weeks eventually coming around again full circle. It felt like Junior High!
It also leads to a culture where those in their 20's are made to feel like they are teens barely old enough to drive as far as all the pastoral restrictions placed on their lives.
