Thanks, Ofcourse. I personally feel that it all comes down to responsibility and care. In marriage, you are responsible and care for your spouse. And that amount of responsibility is difficult to attain from just sitting all day in a bais midrash, or even a college classroom, where you only need to care for and be responsible for yourself. Generally, boys don’t have that care and sense of responsibility for others the way girls have it. So, maybe we can help the boys become more like that by somehow implementing a system in yeshivos where boys are somehow tuned into being responsible for others. There are already positions for students to become more responsible, such as a dorm counselor, waiter, etc. Perhaps there should be some sort of position of responsibility for EVERYONE in the yeshiva. And more often than not, the young adults who go to college, whether full time or at night, or have jobs, are generally more responsible anyway.
I don’t see this ever happening, but I think it would be a good way to get boys more prepared more marriage.
