Children And Marriage

How do you decide who to marry? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dips coming. (Alan, age 10) No person really decides before they grow up who theyre going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who youre stuck with.
(Kristen, age 10)

from a survey of children on the subject of marriage

From a past Teen Christmas Party . . . way back in 2010.

What do you think your mom and dad have in common? Both dont want any more kids. (Lori, age 8) What do most people do on a date? Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough. (Lynnette, age 8) On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date. (Martin, age 10) What would you do on a first date that was turning sour? Id run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns. (Craig, age 9)

Prayer for Responses:

What is the right age to get married? Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then. (Camille, age 10) No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married. (Freddie, age 6) How can a stranger tell if two people are married? You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids. (Derrick, age 8)

When is it okay to kiss someone? When theyre rich. (Pam, age 7) The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldnt want to mess with that. (Curt, age 7) The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. Its the right thing to do. (Howard, age 8)
Is it better to be single or married? Its better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them. (Anita, age 9) How would the world be different if people didn t get married? There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn t there? (Kelvin, age 8) How would you make a marriage work? Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck. (Ricky, age 10) He better bring me roses . . . like EVERY day. (Desiree,
age 9)
