[quote=Anonymous]I got engaged at 22, married at 23, and had kids at 26 and 28. I also went through law school while I had my first. I’m very happy with my choices and believe that people are misinterpreting the statistic about people getting divorced when they marry early. It’s more likely an issue of correlation and not causation- people in the US who “marry young” may be less educated, have less financial resources, etc. OP’s “niece” works in tech and most likely will not have financial stressors impacting her marriage. In any event I am from a highly educated immigrant background where this is the norm- many of my peers who are doctors, lawyers, PHDs, had a similar trajectory and stayed with their spouses for the long haul, because that is our culture. The family unit is more important than the individual. It is what it is, not better or worse than white American culture.[/quote]
