After speaking with a friend who has been married since she was 19 years old, I became extremly frustrated at the fact that she is trying to discourage singles from getting married. She has been married for 14 years and has had five children. She has had very discouraging attitudes toward a young sister age 27 who is engaged and is telling her that she should be extra careful to get married. 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.
