Is it better to have young Christians struggling with sexual temptations while getting all their financial ducks in a row, or to encourage getting married younger and provide support for that?
When we got married, we were overwhelmed with the generosity of our church family- from a shower that mostly equipped the kitchen, to the people who asked us if we could use the furniture they were getting rid of (yes! yes! yes!), to the huge generosity of our families (who gave liberally in working on our house, as well as in helping us to equip it).
We don't drive fancy cars, have the latest gadgets, or vacation anywhere exotic. But we're getting to share these years, and I wouldn't trade this for the world.
Us, dancing at our reception and being madly in love. :) Photo taken by Sarie, I think... all I know is I stole it off Facebook and I love it!

I love that picture of your wedding. I view those that marry young as very lucky indeed as you have more of your life to share with your spouse and children. I would have loved to marry young, but it didn't work out that way (I was almost 29 when I got married). Enjoy the journey and don't worry about those material things.
Great post! And, thanks for linking to my comment. I am glad that you liked it.
