That’s fine, Mary. But the reason the comment came up is that the prophet mentioned that we should be going to college. I’m sure he is using the American spin on what college means.

Then George I suggest you put a happy face :) or a j/k (just kidding) at the end of your sentences so people know you are joking otherwise people only get the words and they tend to really rub the wrong way.

It was a joke Sally. My wife is an attorney and she is very smart. I believe women need to be educated.

ltbugaf – I was playing off something Mary had written about in Utah and Southern Alberta they like to marry the girls early in life. It was also a joke.

Bill, I keep trying to figure out why you’re always looking for an excuse to make immature insults about Utah and Alberta. Do you have some axe to grind?

So did you decide if women are too smart and need to be dumbed down to make them ideal wives and mothers?

Maybe only in Utah and Alberta?

My debt load wishes no prophet had ever said this. As education costs rise, will young LDS students receive different counsel?

Marriage is basically for the family, and when people have found their proper companions there should be no long delay. They should live together normally and let the children come. -Spencer W. Kimball

I am aware of that. However, keep in mind that this is a Canadian blog and we have a somewhat different education system in Canada. Our Colleges aren’t just vocational schools. We have vocational schools, colleges and universities. No marketing gimmick here.

I never said anything about starting to have children in your 30’s I said getting married should be done AFTER you have done your schooling not the other way round as it makes it more difficult.

And yes I know what you are going to say Kim… if you don’t marry till you are 30 then obviously you aren’t going to start your family till you are 30ish.

Besides I said that if I had my way MY children would not have gotten married and started their families until after they were done school.. but that would have meant I lived in ideal world not in a real one :)
