How Young is too Young?
You hear in the newspapers of all of these young people getting married at the age of 16 and 17. They are still kids. They have no sense of direction and most of the time they are still in school. They haven't experienced life enough to know what married life will be like.
The national average age for marriage is 16-24 years old. That is a big downfall from the results in 2000. In 2000 the national average age was 21-34. Why has this happened? Have parents stopped caring?
So, How young is too young for marriage?
Will these marriages be successful?
In a study at a college in Montana, The average people have a marriage of 5 years. Most of the people who they studied on this divorce rate were between the ages of 16-60. The majority of the divorces came between the age of 16-20.
So, if the parents sign for their children to get married at a young age; aren't they are sitting their own flesh and blood up for disappointment.
So, How young is too young for your children to get married?

I agree with wolfsnquirrels. There is a cory and Tapanga out there somewhere. You made a good point. With the statistics out there I believe the parents are setting thier children up for disappointment. Then again, Cory and Tapanga were of age to get married and they grew up together and lived together before. I think if younger people are planning to get married they should live together for at least a year before they do.
