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

So often you hear people mentioning someone marrying young (let’s say 18-25) say: “well, everyone is different” - then if the marriage doesn’t work for whatever reason, you’ll hear people say, including the former bride/groom say, “we were just too young”
Anyone personally experience this or know of someone that has gone through this? Are these things said to simply placate those affected?

I married my practice wife when I was 30. She was a bitch/slut/whore. It didn't work out. I was too young.

It is what it is. Plenty of examples on both sides. The biggest problem I find is that regardless of age people often rush in without really understanding what they are fully getting into.

It's never an age issue. It's a maturity issue. Some that get married at 20 are more ready than those who wait til 30.

most people used to get married at 16-18 yrs old, anything over 16 is not "too young" to get married
age has nothing to do with being ready for marriage, whether or not you are mentally mature is all that matters, some people never are mentally ready for marriage

Dang, Paul Allen. You came close to asking an interesting question.
Why did so many marriages from 100 years ago survive, when, on average, the newlyweds were much younger than today?

Almost any age feels too young to get married.

young? in the south that is considered old
over 25 and single down here, you are practically a pariah

This.
I got married at 24 and she was 22. It was WAY too early for both of us. Neither of us had enough life experience, perspective or maturity. Lasted three years and was a disaster.

A lot of people didn't graduate HS or go to college during that time. They were beginning adulthood at 16-18. Now adulthood begins at 22-24. There is a good percentage of people that don't enter into adulthood until late 20's (economically independent/gainfully employed).

Naw, most marriages ended after a few years due to death.
Now we last longer. Infidelity was easier in some ways then too, so much that any presumed difference from a person's usual schedule meant they were out screwing someone.

Yeah, it's hard to use the 1920s model for a nuclear family as a comparison for the same age group of people today. I'm nowhere near ready for marriage. I have no plans of marriage either till I get my shite together. Don't want to make a mistake so young, or even when older for that matter, but I think future me will have a better understand and approach for marriage than current me. With that said, it's probably time to consider storing some specimen for later use. Feel as though my mid twenties swimmers are gonna produce better offspring than future me's swimmers, so might have to seriously look into that soon.

Get married and have kids from 16-25. That way when you are divorced at 35, your kids will be on their on, and you still have a lot of years to chill.

I’m 30 and get tired of people telling me after I dump someone that “you don’t want to wait too long - all the good ones will be taken.”
Bitch, that ain’t the reason to get married. I’ve never been married and know that’s a classic way to end up unhappy.
