Married at 20. It’s been 36 years so far.
My two uncles on my mother’s side both married at 16. Marriages lasted decades, both ending only when a spouse died. (I agree this is too young.) This is of course unusual because such very young marriages are much more common for girls.
Anecdotal evidence, no doubt, but still evidence.
I beg to differ from the unexamined assumption that five or ten years of promiscuity is the proper preparation for a lasting marriage commitment.
AGAIN, my point exactly.
