Or a plan for such, yes. That does not mean that marriage should be pushed off, it means the plan should be in place (even if he really wants to learn, maybe he should think again long and hard. It is very likely that he is already being pulled by the dark side, if he is honest with himself. If he somehow is not, then he can be this Dor’s Ben Azzai and sit in Bais Medrash all day.)
