I think that they should be able to marry and work from the age of 14 on.
And how would you feel if these 14-year-old girls decide to "work" in the porn industry, hmmm?
It is heartwarming to read that this wonderful couple overcame the difficulties to achieve such a stellar marital record. But this couple, when in their teens they struggled together against the crushing poverty of the Great Depression, is hardly representative of the the typical teenage couple of today.
To contend that kids today have the same level of emotional maturity, a keen sense of self-sacrifice, and a similar commitment to personal responsibility is, on the whole, utter nonsense.
God bless this couple. My wife and I are at year 30 this month. I cannot imagine how bleak life would be without her by my side.
It worked for me. As a matter of fact 40 years this Thanksgiving weekend I started my first job and met my future husband there. I had been 14 for one week and he had been 17 for one week. We started dating in December and were married 3 1/2 years later. We had our first child when I was 18 and bought our first house when I was 20. We turned 54 and 57 last week and are still happily married.
