How does a young married guy act in comparison with a young single guy? Why should one appear to be more responsible and sensible than the other? Or would he be?
I was listening to this link ( I hope we can add links on here without being scolded...) what do you think?

In all honesty, I think this might provide more conversation in the Women Only forum. I am not focused on this. I'm too busy observing the young to middlin' females. Now I have a conspiracy theory about marital status, but I have to share that somewhere else.
The Bible scripture referenced to by this site (oops, I didn't get that from the website page, gone now) is: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (ESV)
I did look to see if I could listen to this sermon- yet some forum folks don't have the 'power' of streaming audio this and hi-speed that. I think it would be okay for you to summarize the sermon so whoever looked at this could see your summary, see the link to the sermon if they wanted to hear it word by word.
Other thoughts... this is too general a question in using young married and young single. If one is in his early 20s and the other is 32, are they both still young? Yet you'd think the one 12 years older is more mature (responsible and sensible and those desireable traits of men) than the younger guy. That doesn't include who's married.
If the big question in this is should marriage bring about a change in someone's character for the better, the answer in my humble mind is yes, and let's not say that happens overnight, but over the course of the rest of the couple's life. I don't know of anyone that considers marriage to be the reduction of responsibility, except in the case of household chores. Then things might only need doing half as often.
Marriage is not going to instantly transform someone from goofball/cut-up/whatever will be will be into Mr. or Mrs. Perfection (or even Mr. or Mrs. Shogoodnufforme). I hope you do not find yourself in that position, or rapidly approaching that day you think a guy that really could stand to change alot is considering popping the big question.
Thanks for the brainwork,
OneJohn410

If you are saying that guys who are married act more like a man than those who are single well I think you might be generally right but not always.
I think it could be said about woman as well.
I really think the reason is because marriage can, if you allow it, cause one to grow up. In fact, you have to grow up and I am sure that being in an good intimate loving relationship would make it much easier to grow up.

quote:
ORIGINAL: Godhead
It is good for a man not to touch a woman. ( 1 cor 7:1) The most beautiful thing is for a man or a woman to love God and let His glory shine within the Tabernacle of the Holy Spirit. Marriage is more for people who cannot live without sex. (1 Cor 7:2-5) Not everyone has the gift to remain single, but I thank God that He has given it to me. His glory and His will is all that matters 
Heb 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Marriage is for more than just sex. It is honourable in all. Some are born to be single, some are born to be married, both statuses are equal.
