In his article, “Help! I Want to Get Married, but I Can’t Afford It,” Russ Gehrlein gives some practical and biblical advice to young people who desire to marry but feel it is out of reach. Among his best points are to develop a plan and to trust God along the way.
So what does marriage require? The implication is a man needs to be independent of his old family and able to support his new family. The new couple should be able to stand on their own, relationally and financially. This doesn’t mean newlyweds don’t need support from biological and church family, but it does mean they don’t set out assuming that others will regularly pay their bills.
Thank you for the recommendation!
You’re very welcome. Great article.
