why is it that educated women get married later on in life? do you think women should go to college? is this the reason why so many christian women (with degrees and careers) are single? do you think this is contradictory to Gods role for women?

Well, this is a great ? & topic of discussion. I have actually watched this area & there is some concern I have....but 1st, to answer your ?s from my vantage.

My opinion & view is that educated women get married later in life because they tend to focus more on their careers and it gives them little room to meet a quality man that they can trust & that they can get to know apart from their occupational world, which hinders her from being able to connect in a deep way--the way necessary--with many/any men.

I do think women should go to college, because it's an all-around experience that affords men & women the opportunity to get educated naturally & spiritually (through church attendance, Bible study attendance, etc.), socially & emotionally (i.e. holistic development). But, college is NOT necessary for everybody, but it is a good experience that each person should consider.

Going to college & being a career person is not necessarily against God's role for women, but it's just that so many women have negative social & relational experiences in college that they just dive into their careers & don't look left or right partly because of the past pain and/or fear of getting hurt again.

Now, here are my thoughts:
-->I think that so many women have grown up either without GOOD father figures and/or seeing and/or experiencing bad things with men, that they use their "careers" as a defense mechanism because they just don't want to get hurt (again). They figure if they just dive into their careers head-1st & don't really look up, then they will avoid any remote possibility of hurt. This is unhealthy because they may be delayed or miss out on God's best because of fear or negativity. Also, so many women have been told by men today that if they got with them, they would have to work & hold up their end--there aren't too many housewives these days, when that should be a treasured role in the family structure. I personally value the role of wives being housewives & stay at home moms because that is one of the reasons why me & so many other kids can develop strong academic skills at a young age.

Thanks for this question...I hope for a solid discussion around this post.
