President Oaks Urges Young Adults to ‘Be of Good Cheer’ in Their Challenges

Nothing inspires today's young adults these days like a couple of white multi-millionaire nonagenarians

Imagine getting YSA advice from DHO who was born in 1932

Stop delaying marriage and start having kids

Effects of having children early

Infant mortality increases when the period between births shortens

Continuing to give births at a higher age also carries additional health risks for both mother

and child

Kristen Oaks is Dallins second wife, she was unmarried previous to marrying him at age 53, she has never had children (nor has Wendy Nelson btw)

Perhaps women in particular don’t want to get married earlier because they don’t want to end up as a polygamous wife in the afterlife 

Societal trend of marriage ages is rising at a rate of about one month per year, average male age is like 28 and average female age is 25

Effects of getting married early 

Kristen didn’t get married young either 

The fairness of the plan of salvation vs having lots of kids

Tucker Carlson kids thing

Messaging on having kids has changed 

It probably all comes down to this: there are well documented psychological, sociological, physical, and economical downsides to getting married early and having lots of kids, but there are positive church outcomes in activity rates, tithing receipts, and retention rates. Hence, Oaks views giving potentially damaging advice like this is ok so long as the needs of the church come first. It’s a philosophy called doctrine over self. What is best for you spiritually, socially, or physically must be subverted for the betterment of the collective whole. That is the very definition of a high demand religion.
