Maturity for Marriage
Those who are called into the armed forces, or take certain jobs in industry, do not always have to be skilled in the work which they will be called upon to do at the time of enlistment or beginning a job.
Many things we can learn on the job or by special training. People do have to be sufficiently developed and mature so that they can follow through with the training and the discipline which may be required.
So it is with marriage.
Getting married is not like starting out on a picnic. It means taking over a real job. You will not have all the skills which it requires to begin with, nobody does. But you both should be sufficiently “grown-up” so that you can learn the skills as required, and discharge the responsibilities which the new relationship demands.
Over time you will be amazed how your abilities increase as you and your spouse grow and mature.
