[quote=Anonymous]Married at 20 & 23, kids at 24 and 2nd at 27, separated at 32, divorced at 37.

Married way too young and kids are well versed on not approaching marriage before 25 at the absolute earliest... but I do appreciate being my age with them at their ages now.

I'm not sure anyone could've stopped my train wreck once it had started, but I absolutely teach my kids differently from young ages what marriage and partnership is. My own parents were married at 19 & 21, kids at 21 and 2nd at 23 and they were very proud about this and seemed to me I was to follow suit regardless of the quality of guy. I came from a very religious family with some extreme traditional values and my marriage was controlling and abusive (like my family).

I would really question why the rush, what is the motivation and what void is being filled by marrying off.

Marriage as a whole is hopefully either dying out or about to be drastically redefined as society has shifted from the 1920's and women no longer require marriage to survive.

I would try best I could to understand their want to marry at all but have much more revere for committed partnerships.[/quote]
