Quote by Douglas Wilson

“Many modern young men approach a girl, and they are quite serious as far as their intentions go, but they are afraid of interfering with her life. (…) But the whole point of courtship is to disrupt a young lady’s plans. A godly young woman is not going to stand around waiting for marriage. Rather, she will be preparing herself for marriage. This means she will be heading in some particular direction, and not just marking time. A young man should not be afraid of disrupting, because marriage is by it’s very nature a disruption of her previous way of life.”
