[quote=Anonymous]What is the rush to get married? There is no reason to break up since they are in love, but I don’t understand why they would want to get married/engaged so young. I went to Yale also about 25 years ago, and most people I knew did not end up marrying their college sweetheart - they stayed together a year or two after college and then broke up. The ones who are still happily married also waited a year or two (or even 5) after college before they got engaged and married. That makes more sense to me - college is not the “real world” and it’s good for their relationship to develop while they have the real-life stresses of a job and making decisions about next steps together. I think that is where a lot of college relationships fail. Statistically, younger marriages are more likely to end in divorce - I think the tipping point is sometime in the mid20s, but I can’t remember exactly the age.[/quote]
