Getting Married Young: The Pros and Cons
There has been a trend in recent years that has seen the average bride and groom increase in age. While it was once common practice to marry at twenty-something, many women and men are waiting until they are in their thirties now. There are some downsides to being wed early in life. The twenties are a period of growth. This is a time of adaptation. We learn what it is like to live outside parental control, away from the structure of schooling, and in a world that demands we pay to live. Adding the pressures of marriage to that can be a great deal to take on. And, there are times when young couples find themselves growing apart as a result of changing ideals and views of the world.
