We think our child isn't ready for marriage. It's too big a responsibility. She isn't mature enough for marriage. She hasn't finished her schooling. She doesn't do what is expected of her at home; how will she ever maintain her own home?
In a marriage, there are expectations that our spouse places upon us and personal standards that we place on ourselves. We may strive much harder and work more diligently than we ever did while living under our parents' roof. Sometimes, those very immaturities that we want to see corrected prior to marriage only will be corrected through marriage.

They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God
disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. [Hebrews 12:10]
