[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I got engaged right after college, and married at age 25. People definitely thought we were weird, and DHs mom told people AT OUR WEDDING that we were too young to get married.

Fifteen years later we are happily married and are proud we got married “young”. We’ve had friends who were single at our wedding get married and divorced already. I really don’t think being young is intrinsically bad.[/quote]

:roll: Time to stop being so smug bc fifteen years is nothing. I say this as someone who got married a few years earlier than you. It’s been 16 years and we haven’t hit the real tough parts yet. [/quote]

You sound delightful :roll:

Personally, I think it’s great.  I know a few couples who were together starting in HS/college and are happily married now (late 30s).  I think the notion that you have to kiss a lot of frogs in order to find your “one” is misguided and just untrue.  I would be happy if my children married young.  We put the responsibilities of life off too long in this culture and it’s fair to say the 20s are now a sort of extended adolescence, and it’s pathetic.[/quote]

I would have disagreed with you when I was younger, but I’ve changed my mind.  Especially these days.  There are so many man-babies and porn addicts out there.   If these two young people have found each other and are happy together and willing to take on the responsibilities of marriage and forming a family, more power to them.   We don’t have a culture that encourages healthy relationships.  If they’ve found that now, that’s great.  [/quote]
