My son 21 is courting a wonderful young woman20. She is educated, motivated, traveled, religious, warm, intelligent, thoughtful and attractive.
My son likes her very much. She likes him very much.
They both are hearing family and friends tell them not to marry so early. She will have a great job with a great future. My son will have a baseline investment income and can work full or part time as the family needs.
He is disorganized and would do well yoked. She seems to enjoy his eccentricities. I am encouraging early marriage. Would like to hear Freeper opinion on early marriage in today's marriage marketplace.

My dad was 21; my mom 19. Of course, that was 1949

That is not that young.
Tell them to date for a year and see if they feel the same.

I married at age 19. Unfortunately it was way too early even though my husband was a few years older. We wound up divorced after about six years. I would recommend they wait a few years
To: Chickensoup
Well, to begin with, I saw “like” but not “love”. I believe love is way more important than age.

I married at 17 and if I’d shot her then, I’d already be out.

Those two should have been married when they were 12!
To: Chickensoup
I say go with it. I would have benefited from a more routine life where I had to answer to people day to day. Both should still be able to have good employment as they save for a house and other things. Let there be love!!

I think it’s the way God intended. Telling people who reach puberty at fourteen that they have to wait twenty years is a recipe for perversion.

I like the idea of dating for a couple of years before a wedding. Given that time together though, I see nothing wrong with marriage at 21.

no man needs a mother as a wife. If he can’t discipline himself it will be trouble.

My son 21 is courting a wonderful young woman20. for how long?
To: Chickensoup
Well ... the culture will tell them not to marry so early ... that they should spend their twenties sleeping around, accumulating 10, 15, 0r 20 sexual partners and several STD's, and then settle for someone.
YMMV.

The key word here is “courting”
If they are still courting, it too early to get married...
