Is it a status symbol to marry young?

Maybe you just didn’t realize it. But if you see a gorgeous woman on social media in her 20s, with 2+ kids, an equally gorgeous husband and a magazine spread home, probably Morman

Common in the Hindu community as well.

Thisnisnt a Mormon thing

This. The only people I know who marry early who have money have daughters who struggle academically and the parents don't think they will ever manage a job. No one in my umc neighborhood wants their kids to marry until at least their later 20s.

50% of pregnancies are unplanned.

It’s actually 60% to this born to women under the age of 30 which is the majority of all pregnant since most women of all races have their children in their 20s.

Furthermore, it’s also a reflection of Americans ooor education Regarding sex and birth control methods.

It's so embarrassing that we are so awful when it comes to women's health issues. The right wing nut jobs and their desire to keep women down is killing us.

There are young men in their 20’s who want to marry too. It’s not just the women.

Said by no 20 something male ever.

Maybe they've realized that their parents, who waited to get married, are already old, and they want their kids to know their grandparents.

Yes this is a trend UC and UMC kids are getting married right after college. Even earlier than OP noted.

Yes. Often there is a reaction to the parents generation. Parents divorced so I will wait until established before I get married. Their kids say -- no way I want to get married and have babies that old. I will do it younger.

It seems young rich people now are more willing to marry and have children earlier.

Absolutely false. The young millennials and Zers are not getting married at all. A lot of them are buying houses together and still not getting married.

Not false ---- it may be limited to rich kids but not false at all.

Majority of med students marry during med school or during residency.

This.

We got married in our mid 20s. In our mid 30s many of my friends are still not married but if I’m being honest another 10 years without marriage or kids has not brought on much maturation. If anything they seem developmentally stalled out in their mid 20s. One such friend just texted me today that she’s high at work. Cool, I guess?

I was just talking about this to one of my DDs this weekend. Three of my DDs got married in their mid 20s. All three are college educated and have masters degrees, as do both of their parents.

I received invites to 3 incoming medical students in last two years, they wanted to get married in gap year before med school because after that they are going to be very busy for 8 years and in their 30's by the time they finish.

You live in a very specific bubble. Where I grew up the men certainly did want to marry and have at least 1 kid before 30.
