Marriage VS. Education / myLot

I have attended a church meeting last Saturday and the topic was Marriage. It was a 2 hour meeting. It was stated that Marriage should come first before education because Marriage is a sacred duty to God and education is not. I think that they have a point there. Another thing that they have pointed out is that they say that when you get married you face things more seriously especially in your education. I think that there is another point there. Here is my question. Do you agree on that? I can't really understand that once having a family I think that having children will come next and not being stable is really hard. What is your point of view for this? Did you finish your education when you got married?

Enjoy!

Well first off, I am not religious. But for me, I want my career to be a stay at home Mom so I would be okay with marriage coming first. However, I would also prefer it if my boyfriend could finish his education before we got married because that way he would have a good job and be able to financially support me and our family. So actually, I do think education should come first. If I were to get married I know the first thing I would want to do is have children, or we would be at a higher risk of having an unprepared child and to me it would be more important to be able to support my kids. In which case, if my boyfriend was still struggling in college while we were married and I were to get pregnant, our life just became so much more complicated. I would want to bring a child into this world ready to love them and raise them and not be too worried about paying of debt at schools, etc.
