You can’t say that people who get married early are ruining their lives. It’s just their time. I’m sure that this article is not geared towards everyone. It’s different for some people. The author was looking at the positives of getting married young. My sister was married young. She has an amazing husband and an adorable son and one on the way.. and she couldn’t be happier. My sister realized that this was her calling. She was supposed to do this in her life.

For some people it’s different. They may not find the love of their life till they are 30 or even older. It happens. I think though if you really know this is what you’re meant todo in your life… it doesn’t ruin it.. it enhances it!

Jacklyn, that was kinda, rude. But I agree with you to an extent. This girl I went to middle school/ high school with used to ridicule me relentlessly. And then in high school she would always flirt with my boyfriend (or maybe he flirted with her and she flirted back, but they flirted, right in front of me, all the time). She was also voted best looking in our class for senior superlatives. As soon as she graduated she got married, and a couple months later she got really chubby. Now a year later she’s pregnant (just had her kid last week) but I really did take some pleasure in seeing this girl look like an obese swollen blob, since she made my middle school and high school days so miserable.

However, I don’t feel that way about every girl I went to school with, just ones that treated me poorly.

Wow Jacklyn really? Out of all the extra curricular activites available, yours is to enjoy the plight of others?

One of my absolute favorite things in the world is to find out girls who I went to HS or college with who ended up getting pregnant in their teens or early twenties. They are ruined for the rest of their life!!!!!!!! I don’t ever understand why girls ruin their lives by having kids so young and then compound the problem by getting married. How stupid can you get? I love taking pleasure in other peoples misery caused by bad decisions. It makes my so happy!!!!!

Getting married before 30 is just asking for a life of misery. What is worse than a divorced single mom having to raise multiple kids by herself for the rest of her life? No guy wants all that baggage and your life will suck going forward. There are no benefits to getting married young.

I got married at 21, (my husband was 28) and 3 years later we’re still super-happy. I couldn’t have picked a better husband and best friend. It’s nice to have someone you know you can count on for everything, a partner to get through everything with. But, it’s not for everyone.

Honestly, it depends less on your ages, and more on your maturity level, and what point you’re at in life. It also depends on how well you actually know your partner- things come out when you’re married that you may not have expected when you were only dating or co-habitating. I know people who have gotten married at 18, and 10 years later they’re just as in love as they were on their wedding day, and I know people who have gotten married at 30 and have been married 6 months and are already planning a divorce.

You can’t make generalizations about people who choose to get married early, or late- it’s a personal decision, and not one we should have to justify to others. (I’m talking to you chickdowntown).

That being said, A lot of those benefits are true and good luck with your ninja attack… HAHAHA

Caey/Brooke: I’m pretty sure she’s not actually suggesting we all run off and get married ASAP, it’s just an interesting way to present the material.

I disagree. It could be because I’m not currently in a relationship, or it could be because I hadn’t planned on getting married until I’m at least 30. Either way, I don’t think getting married at 21 is a good idea. Something tells me it would just cause me more stress…

Cute article, but I don’t think this outlook on marriage is very healthy. At all! lol. Besides, all of these “pros” are circumstantial.
