[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God, if I were young, highly educated and debt free the last thing I would jump into is marriage. [/quote]

It's quite literally the smartest thing college educated kids can do. Young wedding, buying a house together ASAP, and having kids before you need IVF.[/quote]

Yeah, no. It’s really not. [/quote]

For fertility reasons, yes; for maturity reasons, no. [/quote]

I will say that I don’t know anyone who married their high school sweetheart and is [i]still[/i] married to them. They have all divorced one another but they did have kids earlier than the single ones obviously.

I really don’t have a hard strict opinion on what age people should not get married. When I was much younger I thought anything less than 30 was absurd. However, now, as a 50 year old mother of two, I wouldn’t be upset with my DD for getting married in her early 20s if she thought he was the right person. Career isn’t everything and I believe you can manage family and career at an early age, as long as you realize that the kids will have to come first and you may not progress as far as you like in your career when you are trying to juggle both. What it does allow, however, is for you to lean in when your kids are in their teens when you are in your late 30s early 40s, which isn’t a bad thing.  I’m trying to lean in now at 50 and I think I might fall over,
I’m so tired.  [/quote]
