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

People change a lot between the ages of 18-22, they change again between the ages of 23-28. People who get married young have the opportunity, and liability, to grow and change together. However, sometimes, partners won’t like who their partner changed to be. Rather than embracing those changes and loving unconditionally, some people simply do not maintain those affections. “You’re not who I fell in love with” is a common phrase for that reason.

Women hope men can change (the way they want them to).
Men hope women stay the same (the way they fell for them).
