tzippi- if the men would not start to go out until mid twenties, then we would have the best of both worlds! We would solve the “age gap” as many people complain about. we would give both the men and the women time to mature. just as long as those 23+ boys arent marrying the 18/19 year olds.
what is wrong with letting the women get a career? there are not enough teaching jobs, many schools require a degree in teaching, and there are not that many kids needing special ed and speech therapy! the women need a job that can help to contribute to family earnings so that they can save for when she wont be able to work and raises a family.
