Types Of Maturity In Marriage by pressy09: 12:25pm On Aug 05, 2015
Maturity is not simply based on age or physical appearance; it involves a lot of things, namely:
1. Physical maturity. Anybody that wants to get marry must NOT be a teenager. He must be mature physically. Marriage is neither a crèche nor a day care; it is a place of work and responsibility. Based on information gotten from counseling people, we recommend the following ages:
 The woman to be at least 21 years
 The man to be at least 25 years
2. Financial maturity.
 The couple must be willing to work and provide for the family.
 There must be regular income.
 There must be prudence.
3. Spiritual Maturity
 The couple must be born again.
 They must be filled with Holy Ghost.
 They must understand God’s principles on marriage as they relate to leadership, love, parenting, submission, contentment, commitment, faithfulness, responsibilities, oneness and so on (Genesis 2:24-25, Matthew 19:4-6).
 They must pass the test in 2 Peter 1:5-9.
 They must submit to quality prayer life.
 The couple must likewise love the Bible.
 They must be steadfastly working for God.
 They must regularly spend quality time with God in Bible study.
4. Social Maturity. The couple must strengthen their ability to make and keep friends, willingness to say “I am sorry” when wrong, and to commend, appreciate, and praise. They must be readily willing to change and adjust where necessary.
5. Sexual Maturity.
 The couple must be willing to keep to one’s s*x partner.
 They must be able to control their sexual drive and banish lust from their hearts.
6. Emotional /Psychological Maturity.
 The couple must develop the gracious ability to handle anger and put pride under their foot.
 They must be able to handle fear and appropriately direct joy, love and handle jealous.
 Their daily existence must be characterized by boldness, faith, courage, tolerance, forbearance, meekness and so on.
 They must regularly enhance their ability to manage stress or crisis.
 They must be dogged in time of test and trial, never submitting to defeat.
 They must be willing to suffer shame for the sake of the truth.

Ok

Point no.1 is flawed tho. Maturity isn't a function of age.

All this claims have absolutely nothing to do with God but you delusions as far as marriage is concerned. Any wonder why divorce rates among churchians mirrors that of those of unbelievers?, undecided

God cursed marriage in Genesis 3 vs 16 and Jesus Christ echoed this when He proclaimed to His followers that your marriages are of this world and not of the Kingdom of God. God pretty much allows men do as they pleased with marriage this since man refused Him, and OP here you reveal yourself no different from your ancestors Adam since you stipulate rules in addition to God's own rule in the beginning, this against God's Law that you neither add, nor remove nor change that which He has stipulated. undecided
