[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this happening at an accelerated rate these days? I've been to two weddings of 2025 college grads this summer and all the kids are 21/22. They're headed off to medical school and law school and are the kids of professional parents who married in their early 30s. 
My teens say early marriage is all over instagram as well.

Sample size bias or is this a trend?[/quote]

My niece is 25 and just got engaged. I know she's a little older than the young adults you're talking about but she tells me that she knows many people her age who are getting married and that it's hard to find a meaningful relationship when situationships, ghosting, etc. are the norm. So as much as this generation is known for all those things, they despise it and really crave stable and loving relationships. I saw somewhere that even online dating is down.  Also, for financial reasons, some think combining resources as a young couple make sense since everything is so unaffordable these days. I think it's a definite shift from the millennial and Gen X generations for sure. In my generation, most of my friends got married in our 30s and only if we felt like we had climbed enough in our careers to start a family. [/quote]

A 25 year old is way more mature than a  21 year old…plus she isn’t marrying until 26+ which isn’t that unusual (and was actually less unusual for GenX).

My GenX cohort all married between 26 to 28.[/quote]
