Read the excerpt from Act I, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet. Capulet: But saying o’er what I have said before: My child is yet a stranger in the world, 10 She hath not seen the change of fourteen years; Let two more summers wither in their pride Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

This is talking about how Capulet (Juliet's father) wants to wait two more years before marrying her off, as she is 13-14 in the story, and he wanted her to live a full childhood.
