"Would you rather be right or be happy" that's so on point lol

[justdontJD]

I got married at 25, had my first child at 26, 2nd child at 27. We had the best marriage ever for 32 beautiful years. The way I look at marriage is giving. Not taking, just giving. Hubby had the same attitude. We both gave so there was no expectation as far as taking. Both only gave so automatically we both received. Too many couples enter a relationship as give and take. Just forget the take, you'll be so much happier.

Ngl I just think everyone’s different and marriage can come at different times for everyone. I just don’t see it as a one size fits all thing.

[karenboyd]

I told my children that the purpose of dating is to discern if that is a person you should marry. Otherwise you are playing with fire. After 53 years I believe that marriage is less about love but all about commiment. And the committment to g_d is more important than the committment to the man. We were both 19 when we were married. We were oblivious to many things but then we became Christians and life changed for every and always.

[Matt-yjsm]

Setting an age limit for marriage is crazy.

[nataliestitak]

I respectfully disagree. In this day and age, it is so hard to find a partner who has the same values as I do and guess what, I am almost 26! I believe that people can change and I am still young and still trying to figure out my life. I am getting off my dad's insurance in a month, but I am pretty independent otherwise! And I am sorry, but it has nothing to do with the girl boss mentality. It has to do with survival and being a contributing member to society! And just life! I believe that I am growing into the person God created me to be and He has someone in store for me. I sadly know one too many women who got married young and ended up in toxic and abusive marriages and then divorced. I am not saying that this is always going to happen, but I want to be with someone who I know will treat me well and has the same values. Anyways, this is my two cents. Peace and love! ❤

I am a 27 year old woman, I am ready for
Marriage and kids now, form 18-26 I had a lot of growing up to do changing a lot of my values, building self confidence, becoming more spiritually intuned with Jesus and his will, working on my Career so
I can make
A living if I got
Married at 18-26 yeah I would have made a terrible wife I was mature but not as mature as I needed to be to
Be a wife. When you shame people for being married older it puts pressure on them to make bad desicions. And that’s why one of the divorce stats say if you get married younger
You’ll increase your likely hood of divorce.

[JulianBarichere]

Crazy how certain people believe we’re all on the same time line as if we all die at the exact same age or something

[kathyweiland]

Too many people I know got married really young and ended up in divorce because people change. I wanted to meet someone who is already changed and I know where I'm at. I did that and I've been married 39 years

[personne]

You NEVER know if you're with the right person. They can blindside you at any time.

Thank you for putting this video out there. I know there is going to be variation between different people, but I do agree with Ben on how people get set in their ways. I do not think people consider that issue very often. I am a 27-year-old woman, single, and probably unlikely to date or marry because I am so used to being alone now. I was more open to new ways of doing things when I was in college, and I figured at the time that that would change as I got older and got used to having my own place. However, another problem with waiting is figuring out where single guys are these days... Do you two or Ben know where all the single guys went? It seems like they disappeared after I graduated college. Some got married after college, but I see a lot of single women, not men, around my age now. Maybe where I live or work affects this and there is just some geographic or other variation, but I thought ratio of women to men was supposed to be more 50/50 statistically.

P.S., Ben, it sounds like you and your wife have a wonderful relationship! That is a blessing.

[TheMarshall]

I mean statistically, marriages that occur between the ages of 28-32 are the least likely to get a divorce

[TheElectron]

Well it didn't work out for Steven Crowder.

[prestonthomas]

my life isnt aligned with this but i agree. Sadly at 23 I couldnt pull quality women. I think a lot of guys feel this. I grew up poor and low "status" so I had to "build" myself for a decade until the girls from good backgrounds and options found me as their peer and a viable option. If i was a solid option to women then and had good options I would have pulled the trigger earlier. it was my focus and goal but sadly i simply failed.

[morrisfamilyfunvideo]

Yes, you can determine if someone is a bad fit within 10 minutes. If they say something that's extremely racist, sexist, and it gives you a hint at their values, game over… move on. I don't agree on everything that Ben says, but I respect a man that's willing to say what they believe in publicly with a large audience.

[underated]

I know people who got married i their thirties or even their forties. And they still had a family

[CRWYT]

I'm a 23 year old that didn't get many opportunities to socialize due to being in an all boys' school with COVID happeneing right after I graduated. Now I'm convinced that I'm screwed.

[spacepants]

If I had married the woman I was dating when I was 24, I would’ve eaten buckshot for breakfast already.

[beverlyhorsley]

Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy? Great advice❤

[ChristopherDonnerArtist]

I can't disagree with Ben here enough.

Even the majority of Christian counselors I've spoken with say 26 at the youngest for a man.

I have heard so many people make this argument and generally it's always ended in disaster.

It's not just the desire to stay married. It's also seeing the person's true character come out how they respond to pressure and it's so much more than just core beliefs. His core beliefs on everything.

Financial stability etc.

I'm a very conservative Christian btw
