Rushing into a marriage

[Sariah_Gift]

Please moderators: if this topic doesnt belong here please move it thank you.

I know several single people (both men and women) who after coming from their missions are almost in desesperate "mood" to get married. They date anybody and willing to pop-up the question or say yes just to get married as soon as possible. I understand the counsel of the leaders about getting married and form a family but I think some overdo it and they are willing to do anything. It's scary.

A friend of mine who tried to serve a mission twice (but  he returned without finishing) was trying to date any girl he could and get married. Most girls in the stake knew that he did not finish his mission and were not willing to date him even though he was a very handsome guy. Soon is discovered that this guy had issues with the Law of Chastity, hence his "rush" mood into marriage.

So isn't marriage sometimes an excuse to satisfy lustful desires?

I personally think this is sometimes the case.

A little like having a giant red "A" pinned to your chest.

It depends. Returned missionaries are advised to marry after they serve their missions. For me, is all a matter of finding the right person rather than when you're actually going to do it.

I agree with Happy.  It's all about finding the right person, and if the Spirit reveals to you who that person is, then I don't have a problem with "rushing" into marriage.  I do think that some people make mistakes by "rushing" into marriage with the wrong person, but that is not something that I can really judge.
