I don’t see anything wrong with the median ages... 28/29 for men and 26 for women. I was 26 when I married. I met the right person to spend the rest of my life together. IMHO marriage is a huge step in one’s life and they should make that decision based on maturity. I’m not saying that a 21 year old can’t make a mature decision. I am simply saying that marriage shouldn’t be on some societal imposed age requirement.
you do need maturity to pick the right mate for life, which is why parents used to do the picking.
The article misses this point.
I agree that it’s better for people to marry young, but only if they are not doing the picking, but instead their parents are who have the maturity to know who is the right person for their child to marry.
