In fact, I'm beginning to see it as one of the more important and active times of my life. Let's look at the advantages. The young single person generally has few serious responsibilities. Do well in school, work a summer or part-time job, help out around the house. No bills, no mouths to feed, no kids to raise.
Life is simple compared to that of a mother and father.
Our decisions usually affect only ourselves whereas those of a parent can impact the entire family. I'll be back next year. Outside activities often must be limited after marriage because your spouse and children become your primary vocation. They are infinitely more important for you than the kids in your youth group or the music ministry with which you're involved. This is not to say ministry cannot be done, but the family does have to come first.
