People are meant to get married young. Expecting them to wait until they are thirty when they have their education and career established is a relatively new phenomenon, and a recipe for promiscuity and all manner of perversions.

The best marriages I know of are people who got married young, many times because they "had to get married."

“The best marriages I know of are people who got married young, many times because they “had to get married.””

My wife an I married over 46 years ago, ages 17 and 19 respectively, because we “had to.”

Passion trumps preaching, when hormones rage and people care for each other.

My guess is that young people today don’t marry, partly because there is no stigma.

Problem is nowdays..those “shotgun” marriages now end in divorce. Why? They were not in love but in lust. Shotgun marriages might have worked in the past but not today, not with easy divorce. Plus really it’s best to marry the person you love.
