On World Family Day Pope Francis Spoke of Young People in No Hurry to Marry:.

“We see so many young people who lack the courage to marry... Mothers often come to me and say: do something, talk to my son, he isn't getting married, and he is 37! But, madam, stop ironing his shirts.”

I confess, it is a curious argument from a man who has never been married himself and who seems, all the same, to reduce the role of a wife to ironing shirts 😨
