re: The disingenuous double standard of people marrying too young. What’s your take?

Maybe that's true in the small towns, but that isn't true at all in the cities, especially among the college educated.

In hindsight, kind of agree. I don’t enjoy being mid-late 30s, divorced, and trying to decide if I have the energy to raise a child, assuming I can even get pregnant. I’m a little envious of people who got kids out of the way while young, and can spend their 40s being dumb & doing the shite they think they wished they did when they were 25.

I’d much rather do mid-20s activities when I’m in my mid-20s than vice versa.
You’ll have plenty of energy for years to come. You’re still at least 30 years from falling asleep at dinner with a snot bubble you don’t notice pulsing from your nostril.

Don't want to make a mistake
Exactly... As a child of a broken home I didn't want to pass that on to my kids if I had any. Marriage isn't to fricked around with. I cringe when I hear middle age people laugh and chuckle about "previous marriages". That shouldn't be a term. Vows are for life.

I did the whole young military marriage thing
It was pretty commonplace and acceptable at the time (still is). I saw nothing wrong with it. 10 wasted years later, I could kick myself in the balls for that decision.
People warned me but I thought I had the world figured out.
I did not fully appreciate the fact that I was still learning who I was as an adult nor did I anticipate my "adult self" being 180 degrees different than my spouse at the time. As we approached our 30's we truly matured away from each other.

We beat the odds, most military marriages don't last beyond their enlistment
I have a buddy who married his HS sweetheart at the boot camp chapel on graduation weekend. They just celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary in August.

I was 21 and my wife was 16 when we wed. The same age as her parents and my parents when they wed. We re going on 43 years. Both of our parents remained married. My father is gone now.

Anyone personally experience this or know of someone that has gone through this?
Younger people don't yet have the wisdom to chose wisely.
That being said I married my barely 18 year old bride when I was 21. We've been together through good times and bad for 48 years and counting.
We had to work through some rough patches but divorce was never a consideration.
We are closer today than ever before. All the work was dam well worth it.

There are 23 year olds mature enough for marriage, and there are some who are not.
Everyone changes with age, it's just too easy to blame it on youth

Because it was downright forbidden to split up a marriage back then. Nowadays it’s almost stylish or a badge of honor to have multiple divorces.
It’s the same reason why middle eastern arranged marriages tend to work out better than American marriages (or so I hear). A general belief system.
In a world where it’s anti-PC to educate kids on what a man and a woman are supposed to be, the problem is bound to just get worse.

My wife and I got together when I was 17 and she was 16. We moved in together about 6 months later.
19 years later we are still together and couldnt be happier. Our house and everything else in our possession is paid for and we have 2 kids that we adore.
Its a highly individualized institution. Some people should never get married or attempt a committed relationship. Theyre too selfish.

I got married in 1994. I was 17. She was 18. We were too young and we're still married to each other.

This is why you need to know history. 100 years ago, women were damn near totally dependent on men. They didn’t have the independence or opportunities they do today and society certainly didn’t extend them the courtesies it does today (for single women and women in general). Hell women were treated like property.
Women don’t “need” a man today. That’s partly why marriages don’t last.

Married at 23 (both of us). No one batted an eye about it, but it was the early 90s.
