Marriage sure has been a big topic around the Bloggernacle this week.
By Common Consent has a post about the judgment that divorced members feel among ward members.
Wheat and Tares has two posts - One about ways to improve the mid-singles program, and one decrying the trend of people marrying later.
I've blogged a bit on the subject, and I don't really feel like rehashing everything I've said before. I do, however, want to bring up the point that a lot of the marriage rhetoric in the church seems to be along the lines of encouraging people to just get married to anyone with a pulse and a temple recommend. But people forget that marriage requires two people with compatible life paths to be in love with each other at the same time. Sometimes that takes a while. For those of you who found the right person at age 21, I'm happy for you. But I didn't. And I'm not some slacker just because the stars haven't aligned properly for me yet.
As we learn in song:
You can't hurry love. No, you just have to wait.
