Ass : rant Professor of Sociology At St. Louis University) When is a girl old enough to marry? Bill and I are very much in love. We’ve been going steady for the past few years and want to get married when I finish high school. I’ll, be 18 then and Bill will be 22. He’s in his second year of college and can go to work with his Dad any time he’s ready. Fath er doesn’t say much, but Mother insists I’m too young. Do you think we should wait until I get more schooling? .

Se: ty is age? matu: al, s 1. Jane, there’s no simple ;r to your question. In spite at some people say, the best :.r marriage cannot be stat- terms of years. It must be out in terms of maturity, ps we can help you solve problem by pointing out a tacts about marriage and r.ty. These are points you 1 consider in making a sen- Gtcisioiv. n what is marriage? It is partnership or companion- armed by a man and wom- r,o love each- other. As a they want to share life :er. They feel they need . ther. are good for one an- and ran be happy together shout Lie. marriage is a very special of partnership. Love be- i. husband and wife is crea- d productive for they love other, body and soul, as man omar.. In other words, mar- means babies. leans family life, with chil li. care for, to love,, to raise, to train. In marriage, you sfe yourself to the service :e with the man that vou end, what kind of, maturi- :i ceded for a happy marri- There are several types of rity: physical psychologic- ocial. Let’s see what they imply. Physical or biological maturity means that you have grown up sexually, that you are capable of fulfilling your role in reproduction. Strictly speaking, girls are cap able of having babies at a fairly early age, around 14 or 15, but they are sexually mature only around 18 or 19 when they are fully developed and can assume the responsibilities of child-bear ing and child-rearing without strain. Psychological maturity means that you have learned to stand on j your own feet and can face prob- j lems when they arise. This ma- j turity is not directly related to ! age, but some, experience of life ! is needed to acquire it. It implies a sense of responsi-1 bility, reasonable control over I ■ your feelings and emotions, abili- ; ty to love and cooperate with oth ers, and willingness to face dif ficulties squarely. I If you are over-dependent on | others, if you dodge difficult tasks ■ and responsibilities, if you con stantly blame others for your mis takes and failures, if you are not sensitive to the feelings and rights of others, you are psychological ly immature. Social maturity means that you are capable of assuming the ob- ! ligations of marriage in American society. This implies that you are able to be a real companon to j your husband, can run a home, i and can take, care of children un- I der the social conditions in which your marriage will place you. These social conditions are im- i portant. When you marry, you ac cept the economic and social posi tion of your husband. The family i unit you form with him must manage on the money he earns. 1 and its social position will depend j largely on the type of job he holds. | Hence social maturity implies ‘’different qualities for different | marriages. For example ,if you marry someone in the professions, you must have sufficient educa tion and training to be his com panion and to move in his social circle. If your husband’s work will re quire him to move frequently, you must be prepared to adjust to new situations and to make new friends. If his income will be small, you must be able to adapt to the living conditions he can afford. You’re right, Jane, I’m not go ing to tell you what tor do. Think it over. I have given you the principles for a solution. You’re in love, but love is not enough. How mature are you? Since your husband is getting a college edu cation, don’t you think you’ll make him a better companion and wife if you get some further schooling too?
