re: My son got married today.

They don't a;ways listen

Im happy for you; but 23 is too young to wed imo

I am in the marry later camp but my nephew married at 19 as soon as his wife graduated and they are doing great. There are probably actual stats out there somewhere rather than anecdotes but I am not driven to look them up. Everybody's situation is different.

Nephew didn't have to get married, had first kid a year out of college, they have their lives planned out on a spreadsheet

Other nephew is a priest so he will be taking the opposite route

This line of thinking is idiotic

Nice. My son is 21 and he is "engaged" to his girlfriend.

I am not as concerned as you about it. If he could go ahead and get married, that would be one out and one to go. My other is 16 and may live with us forever.

So to everyone with this mindset, what is the right age?

Everyone is different. I know plenty of people that married young and are doing just fine, and others that aren't. It's all about the people involved. Some people should just never get married, doesn't matter the age.

Age doesn't have anything to do with it. Some people are more mature and more financially stable (or at least more financially responsible) at 23 than others.

I think marrying at 30 you miss out on a lot. There’s something great about being in love, married, having a kid, broke, and all the challenges to find your way in life. 23 is a great age

Congratulations!

Don't worry, chances are he'll be divorced within five years.
