it is a very weird feeling when going out that most all the girls i know are married. i thought it was just me.
That's ok, half of them will probably get divorced. That seems to be the trend with people who get married at 21 or younger.
*gasp* that's an awful thing to say. but kind of true.
No reason to sugar coat it, ya know. I'm going to instill in my kids to wait. They'll have my real life example to look at, what I had to go through, to see that being 19 or 20 is a ridiculous age to get married. People change in those few years that follow, more radically than at any other age. That's not to say an older couple that gets married won't break up, but I think it's less likely. I would say 24 or 25 is a good age to get married.
i agree. i think it is sensible to wait. i mean, you change so much in those years between 18 and 25 or 26. plus who wants to be married any way. especially at 18. those are the golden years. you should be swingin' baby.
haha this is totally true. who wants to be tied down at such a young age. about 90% of the ones that were married at 21 or before (in my area) are already divorced...its really sad. you really dont know that you DO change...your needs and wants and outlook TOTALLY changes once you reach a certain age.
The funny thing is, you'd think parents would be telling their kids these things so as to avoid getting married so young. My parents didn't communicate with us, so its no wonder my family is dysfunctional, but I think it's important for a parent to sit down and have that talk with their son or daughter.
but thats the thing, most parents dont. then again you have the stubborn few who think they're in love and get married anyway too. like i know out here the majority of my friends, their parents, DID talk to them and warned them but they still did it anyway.
and then there are places maybe like where you live where its accepted and encouraged ya know.
I think there needs to be more talks from the platform about this issue. It's an increasing problem. It shouldn't be encouraged anywhere to marry too young. That is ridiculous. But you are right, some parents do talk to their kids and they should be commended. At least they tried.
theres been PLENTY of talks and articles....esp the newest ones to make sure of WHO you are marrying...etc. if ones dont want to take the advice, they suffer and reap what has been sown cause of their stubbornness or immaturity.
