#MandyTope2016: On getting married young, abstinence and gender equality in marriage.~

Wedding bells are ringing! Yay! I love weddings so much but that is not why I decided to write this post. I did this for two reasons;
1. I read a tweet (and the conversation thread) last year and it made me really sad. The tweet basically bashed young Christians for getting married in their early twenties and explained that they decide to get married simply because they want to have legit sex. And a lot of young people agreed with this warped line of reasoning. In this line of reasoning, it is better to have premarital sex, (fornication - let us call it what it is) and have enough sexual experience than get married and be tied down to one person for the rest of your life. When did we become this way? At what point did we begin to think that we are wiser than God, his statutes are old fashioned and this generation is exempt from obeying them? I decided to write this post to celebrate two people that have decided to honour God and to encourage others on this journey - there are still prophets of God that haven't bowed to baal.
