Early Marriages – Joy or Sorrow?
By: Solitaire G. Ramos
We are brought again into certain social issues back into the spotlight, the most prominent being, early marriages. Allegedly, some females marry and conceive children when they are as young as 13. This quite apart from the related issues of forced marriage and polygamy has scandalized many people and is often cited as an abuse itself.
Therefore, I think the question of early marriage deserves its own treatment, least we Catholics get carried off by media presuppositions and the minds of popular opinion.
The demise of early marriage is a significant cause of the cultural immorality that surrounds us today. Most people are not particularly zealous for virtue, even in the best of times. Yet, they can be entried by social morns to live generally moral lives and one of the most important of these norms is a culture of early marriage. By “early” I do not mean 13 necessarily, but an age of 15 – 22 for most people and I belong, that is when the hormones are naturally raging and they are raging for the natural purpose of finding and helping a spouse.
Here, let’s face the fact, the median age for marriage has now reached 25 for women and 27 for men. The median age for intercourse is still about 17. As a result, today’s women averaging twenty, obviously, prefer the trend toward late marriages because it results in high rates of promiscuity.
Younger moms and dads are likely be more nimble at child-rearing as well, less apt to be exhausted by toddlers’ perpetual motion, less creaky-in-the-joints when it is time to serve from the monkey bare.
I could say with assurance that younger parents will also be more patient with boys-will-be-boys smash into and les likely than weary 40 – something to beg pediatricians from drugs to control supposed pathology. Humans are designed to reproduce in their teens and they’re potentially very good at it. That’s why they want it so much.
