10/1/2025

How young is too young to get married? When are young people ready for marriage? Should parents support financially after the wedding? What about education and getting prepared to support yourself or family? What about honoring parents and is their blessing required biblically? Listen in as the pastors tackle these questions as a follow-up to Episode 134: The Case for Marrying Young.

I was 18 when I got pregnant. This was 1965 and he had been drafted into the Marine Corp. His father got him leave to come home and marry me. Neither of us were Christian. I had been raised strict Catholic and he was nothing. He went to Viet Nam for a year and, when he returned, our daughter was 10 mos old. He returned with PTSD and was mentally and physically abusive. Not having a father around (my parents divorced) I thought all husbands were physically abusive so I accepted it. I lasted for 10 years then got up enough nerve to leave him. I'd had another child who was about 2. There was no support from either him or my mother. I was 28.
