Marriage matures you, Dennis Prager argues, and having children amplifies that effect. He compares it to seatbelts: not absolute protection, but the overwhelming trend shows marriage and parenthood foster growth.
As a general rule, understanding there are always exceptions, there's something that both give to the other, and that's maturity. There is no one, no one I have ever met who was married or is married who denies that marriage matured them. Even if they had a lousy marriage, they were matured by it, let alone a good marriage. Marriage makes you grow up. Children make you grow up even more. Not everybody who got married has grown up. Not everybody with children has grown up. I'm allowed the seatbelts save lives generality. Sometimes seatbelts don't save lives, but overwhelmingly they do. Overwhelmingly, you, you grow up when you get married.
