My question is only if waiting to marry when you're financially prepared for children is the same as marrying then using birth control to wait to have children till you're financially prepared? It sounds the same to me so I'm just wondering what others think.

They are definitely showing patience! They both have good heads on their shoulders so I'm sure they will do fine in the future. Same as Jill and Derick and Erin and her husband. However, I think Ben and Jessa probably married a little too soon as he is a sophomore in college -- yes they can make it but I think they might struggle a little more than if they had waited two more years. Erin and her husband I believe waited 3 years until she was nearly graduated that if she had gotten pregnant right away that she would have given birth after graduation.

Not being able to provide for your new family puts a huge strain on extended family and society. Kelly did say that he was paying his own way through college and would need to replenish funds. Which probably means getting a good paying job to support a family. That's smart!

Is it REALLY all about having as many children as humanly possible? There are more things to a marriage than that ait seems to me that these two have got their heads screwed on and are doing what they can to be patient and well-prepared for a life together that is not just about scraping by. I'm sure the babies will come soon enough, let them use the brains that God gave them to decide when is the most sensible time to marry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-31035840082460280512015-02-02T18:09:36.296-06:002015-02-02T18:09:36.296-06:00Isn't waiting to get married until you can aff...Isn't waiting to get married until you can afford children the same as birth control?

One couple I know have tatoos on their ring fingers; much cheaper and more practical than rings. Not to mention an amazing testimony when people ask them "what if you get divorced"? And a small wedding; she just mentioned her family; so if all it is is the Bates and Keilen families, so be it.<br /> Praying for God's guidance for them both.
