Reacting to a post on OTB this morning, Mark Hasty ruminates on the expansion of childhood and postponement of marriage. While this trend has has lots of consequences–many good–for the society as a whole, Mark notes that it is a huge problem for adherents to Christianity, which demands sexual abstinance until marriage.

    Well, in place of sex, you could always blog.

    P.S. If you don’t want people to have sex, LET THEM GET MARRIED.

    It’s why Christians get married so young. All of my friends from college (I went to a Christian college) got married while still students or right after graduation.

    With the exception of one couple that I can think of, all are still married.
