Our culture has a lot to say about marriage and finding the right person to marry, especially to teenagers. We have an enormous load of expectations placed on us by the culture regarding what we are to look for in a future spouse, how we are to look for it, how we are to pursue someone, and when we are to pursue someone. The problem is, the modern church fails to bring these recently-invented traditions to Holy scripture and see how (and if) they conform to God’s stated will.

How focused should we as teenagers be on the topic of marriage? In order to answer that question, we must first decide how important marriage should be to us. Only then can we decide how that applies to a certain people-group or age group. To do that, I’m going to go to two main sources — the Bible, God’s innerant, all-sufficient Word, and Chapter #2 of What He Must Be (If He Wants To Marry My Daughter), by Voddie Baucham, titled ”The Ministry Of Marriage.”
