"Rarer than an understanding of manhood and womanhood is an application drawn out for teens and singles. Conservatively raised girls may know something about the calling of motherhood, but what does Biblical womanhood look like in the life of an (obviously unmarried) 14-year-old girl?

The unique problem we have here is that the Bible doesn’t address teenagers. A gap between adulthood and childhood didn’t exist in previous centuries, and the betrothal of 13-year-olds in ancient Israel wasn’t uncommon. Little is then said in Scripture to unmarried young folks, simply because they didn’t stay that way for long."
