He said, "How could I possibly get to
00:00:01
know a person well enough before
00:00:03
marriage to know if they're right? It
00:00:05
seems like getting married is like
00:00:06
jumping off a cliff." This struck a
00:00:09
chord with me because when I was a
00:00:10
teenager, there was a very big push in
00:00:13
my circles of friends in the church I
00:00:16
went to of this like knowing God's will
00:00:19
for your life. And a lot of my friends
00:00:22
took it to this extreme of like knowing
00:00:26
having to be so certain of
00:00:30
of the things that they're going to do
00:00:31
with their life. So, where they're going
00:00:32
to go to college and what they're going
00:00:34
to study as a career and what they're
00:00:35
going to the person they're going to
00:00:36
date and all these different things. And
00:00:38
they had this like they needed to know
00:00:40
the answer uh before like living life. I
00:00:45
think that that ruins a piece of like
00:00:47
what life is about, which is making
00:00:49
mistakes and learning lessons.
