[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think everyone should work for a few years before getting married. This is the only time in your life when you can spend YOUR money the way YOU want.  If she persists with the engagement track,  I would push her to be independent and move out on her own. Don’t baby her through this time. I guess you should also fill us in —does she have a job, health benefits, a car, etc.[/quote]

+100.   All couples I know who married college or high school ended up divorced or in passionless marriages.  I’m older, and they al seemed to have perfect marriages for the first 10 years.  Most of them changed when the kids started getting older (late elementary school).  I think that’s when things got stale.  There were no more new milestones.  The ones who didn’t divorce stayed together (I think) because they had never been on their own — ever.

You need to branch out more.  There are plenty of us who married young and are still happy 20 years later.  The last kid leaves the house in a couple years and we have a laundry list of plans, both together and independent of each other.[/quote]

Couples who meet in HS, College or Grad School have a 40% lower divorce rate. Also those who marry between 22-28 have the lowest divorce rates.[/quote]
