Re: Getting married young
I just want to see the reason why people get married right out of college when they don't the mental maturity to handle themselves let alone a household and family. Marriage in our society is defined by age, and i get picked on
Hold your horses. What makes you think people who are coming out of college aren't mature enough to handle themselves?
Plenty are.
Secondly, one thing you might want to take into account is that if you yourself are in this age range, you're probably in disbelief that right now your age is ripe for mating and reproduction (sanctified by marriage in most of our cases, hopefully). I know that my girls and I are still in disbelief every time we hear a friend of ours getting married, and we TEND to think "oh how young"...but in reality, we're just not used to the fact that this is a totally acceptable and OKAY thing to do at this age.
Now 18-24 is a big age gap. I'm more comfortable when I hear of people going for the kill around 23, 24, 25 and onwards. 18 is right when you're starting college, and since college is such a learning experience, I feel like people might be missing out on getting married during college. But right after college is over, and if you dont have any more professional educational plans, then why not?
