Young men don't have the resources today to support growing families. This is by design. Should young men be fathers though? Right now to make this work you are looking at 18 year old women marrying 35-55 year old men.
If the idea that for every sperm cell is a copy of a man's brain, including his life experience to that point, would it not make sense to seek an older man to fertilize your egg?
Certainly seems that way. The other possibility would be for older, wealthier members of the family to give young couples assistance financially, maybe pay for some major child-related expenses as a gift.
