teens these days, have a humorous scared way to indicate how insecure they feel about committing to one person through marriage.
here is one instance in which a male student said: if anyone ever asked me and probed as to why i am single, i’ld simply say loud and clear: ‘Yes, i am a singlet, & if you would ask this again, I could split you into a double!!!’
it is essential to appropriately speak to tweens and teens about this aspect of their developing selves, as they grow into young adult women and men.
concept around this issue range the spectrum of ethics in intimacy, finances, stable personalities, accord in understanding each other as best as possible, family acceptances, current or future studies and career ambitions, future outlook on life in general, a cause that one is compassionate about and how the spouse can help out and be supportive of it, the comfort and bonding quality levels between the two people and so on ans so forth.
clearly, it is not easy for youth to understand all this, beyond what they hear.
so on thing that can be done, is enable youth in hearing all the positives of and about marriages as life long committments, rather than all kinds of negatives associated with marriages, alone.
any thoughts on this?
