[quote=Anonymous]All of the things you need to know to be a successful, independent adult, you can learn along side your spouse. The fact that she doesn't have experience paying rent yet doesn't mean she will fail at it just because her first time doing it will be a shared, jointed responsibility.

What she needs are relationship skills, which you haven't commented on. If she's 18, comes from a divorced family, and recently shifted households, then maybe she's looking for something to latch onto for stability. If that's her reason for getting married, that's not ideal. If, on the other hand, she sees what a mess her family is and is eager to start her own - then maybe it'll work out for her. My cousin rushed through HS in 3 years, rushed through college in 3, got married at 21 - all in an effort get herself established and away from her crazy, chaotic family. 12 years later, she's done well and has a relatively happy family. That's the exception and not the norm of course, but depending on motivates and skills, getting married young isn't always a disaster.  [/quote]
