“I said, ‘Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’ But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand justice.”

Psalm 139.1-6.NKJV

“O Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.”
‭‭
Be encouraged, The Lord knows you by name and is with you in all. He will never leave you. He’s faithful and you can trust him.

Have a very blessed day.
Amen 🙏🏾

Regarding your advice for Women to delay marriage until 35:

Kindly also consider the following:

1. While there's no definitive age for marriage according to Christian principles, the Bible does offer guidance on family and relationships.
The institution of marriage is considered sacred and a reflection of God's love.
Ultimately, the timing of marriage is a matter of faith and trust in God's plan. The Bible encourages seeking guidance through prayer and seeking counsel from trusted individuals within the faith community.

2. Christian principles emphasize the importance of a strong, committed relationship based on love, respect, and shared faith.

While marriage should be a priority, it's also important to consider personal and professional goals within the context of God's calling. The Bible places a high value on family and encourages marriage as a foundation for raising children in a godly environment.

While it's possible to have healthy pregnancies and babies at older ages (35) , there are increased health risks associated with late motherhood. These include:
- Increased risk of pregnancy complications: Such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth.
- Increased risk of birth defects: Including chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome.
- Increased risk of fertility challenges: As a woman's fertility naturally declines with age.
It's essential to remember that individual circumstances and spiritual guidance should inform personal decisions when it comes to to marriage.

Thank you for taking the time to read.🙏🏾
