My cousin's kid is about to get married in few weeks. They are almost 22 and make a sweet young couple and have been together for a year.
He is quite intelligent and just graduated with a good STEM degree and nice job. She is hard working, finishing up a bachelor's from a community college and works part time but barely average student. They also have different race, religions, socioeconomic status and cultures. He is conventionally handsome and she is rather plain. His family is intact and traditional. Hers parents are divorced and one remarried. He was coddled all his life, she wasn't privileged that way. She attended school on financial aid but has some credit debt, he was on merit scholarship and has no debt. He is a bit immature and spoiled. His family is supportive (after some initial hesitation) paying for the wedding and helping set up an apartment and all and for sure would be supportive in future as well. I'm hopeful for them as she seems like a sensible young woman but do wonder what are the struggles of such couples in long term? Only couples I know who made it against difficult odds were bit older and knew each other for several years. |
| I really don’t understand what you are asking. Your post sounds incredibly condescending. I don’t this couple needs any help from you. |
| What would you do with answer? |
What would you do with the answer? |
| Guessing OP is related to the groom! |
|
When my parents met, they had no common ethnicity, language, culture, cuisine, religion, or anything. He had arrived to her country from the other ends of the earth, sent by his company. They were both 23. ***Their families had fought on opposite sides in WWII***
And now they're 75, and still happily married!!! |
Me again. I married at 23 as well, to someone who speaks my language but comes from a different cultural and ethnic background. No problem either. Mixing cultures and worldviews is GOOD thing. Otherwise life is too boring

| I thought community college only gives associate degrees. They give bachelors degrees as well? |
That stood out to me too. That’s why I think the OP is a troll. |
| Is there a question in your post? |
| Not sure what the problem is OP, but whatever it is, it is not your problem. |
One doesn’t get a bachelors from Community college. Your family isn’t smart . A 22 year old getting married shows their lack of intelligence. None of this matters . They are both dumb and his family supporting this also dumb |
Some community colleges offer bachelors now. |
