Why bitter? Your life turned out good, you married someone from the environment in spite of the restriction and are happily going on, and 95% of the young people who did the same thing also are in a good place.... at least the ones I know. Sure, there are tragedies, divorces, unhappiness and I know of a few over forty years but those may be found anywhere. Human relationships are hard work and there is no pixie dust that makes the challenges all go away. Last thing any Christian group wants is a loose and permissive environment that leads to pregnancy or emotional issues as is a common concern for parents as well. Besides, raging hormones attack young people’s willpower and thier pursuit of the Lord so another line of defense is prudent.
