“Was reading around. Newt married the first wife at 19.”
Newt's first wife was his high school geometry teacher. He dated her while he was her student - not a wise decision by either one.
She was nine years Newt's senior and basically worked to support him when he started his political career.
Newt is a brilliant man who makes some incredibly stupid decisions.

I think the dumbest decision maker in this situation was the 26 year old teacher marrying her 19 year old student. She should have known better. I don’t see him as an equal in this instance.

Sounds more like a brilliant opportunist.

Newt is a brilliant man who makes some incredibly stupid decisions. And that's my exact problem with him.
