How many are aware that Joseph was old enough to be Mary's grandfather?
My own mother was 17 when I came into the world and my parents married as virgins in a very '50's country life. My father proposed and obtained written permission from the father. They married in a small, country church and signed their contract with Caesar. Nine months and two weeks later, I was born. They didn't waste much time in those days. They got down to business and the hard facts of life. Perhaps this is why my mom was a home care and community specialist. The only employment she had when I lived with my parents was the job of keeping my father's books in order. I still remember those days of bake sales and active participation in the community neighborhood. Alot of it was backed by women. Back then a sister's concern for her fellow sister was that she was well cared for and loved... and that children mattered.
Even then, the age of the the proposed bride was not nearly so great a factor as what was practical and honorable -- provided that she was a woman. [ This began at age 14 and up depending on where you lived in Canada back in that time.] Most fathers did indeed look out for their daughters back in the1950's.
Older men could also provide by means of an income that coincided with their experience, while most younger men had the strength and vitality that a young bride could make use of. What mattered back then was:
1) Provision
2) Prosperity
3) Progeny
A man could afford a mortage on a meager income while his wife stayed home and tended to the needs of the children. Yes, it was also a slightly militant and often a very pragmatic approach to marriage and frequently lacked in the romanticism that many young ladies tended to crave at that time. Afterall, this was the modern era and television was telling us the way we should look and live. The romanticisation of the nation was the stuff that started a switch in location onward to cities and urbanization. The roman custom of building cities was suddenly everywhere as the population of country life quickly dumped itself into these sweat shops at an alarming rate to answer to the call of the coming baby boomers.
But Rome is a dirty word and the laciviousness of the fifties found it's fullness under the moon well before the sixties oral contraceptives became the standard. Oh yes, then things exploded in different ways that even made Rome frown (eventhough the converts already had started preparing to protest again). Afterall, how does one make merchandise of people if there aren't enough people around to suck dry? So the Queen of Heaven devised a new old strategy... but that's another story... and old gramps here is getting tired.
You know, I was 15 once too. As near as I can recall, a 15 year old "girl" is usually far more advanced than the "boy" her age but even if it is the other way around, neither one of them is a child. Pedophilia is about children -- not about fifteen year olds. I am stating that the government is trying to move those goal posts on us again in a fashion that too accurately resembles the antics of the Romantic Papacy.
The judgements of Israel are more sound than the feminist and homosexual corruption of today's judges that endorse the same piece of paper that the Sodomites and Lesbians have fornicated (taken license) with... yes, that very same contract our sons and daughters may also think to sign some day. No, we do not need the "blessings" of the sodomites on our marriages. We do not need to be sanctioned by lesbians. We don't need their license.
We need the sanctification from on high and no one will acheive it (or ever could acheive it) by signing that now filthy piece of toilet paper that the devil himself is telling us will keep us smelling clean and fresh... I submit that you will curse your union when you place your trust in such document. Trust God and put away the scottie tissue. As for the problem of putting away, if you must put anything away... PUT AWAY THE PAPER!!! If you are truly sanctified you won't need it anyway. The licencing of marriage is nothing short of licentiousness.

The old ways were better than today's customs.
