Okay, his twin brother married the year before with similar results. My parents, my brother and his wife, my nieces in-laws, my in-laws, my husband and I all got married before the age of 24. This is just immediate family here. Should I go on? I have lots of friends.

You’re right. They don’t own the home outright yet. However, he bought it on a 15 year loan three years ago. He didn’t see the point of renting and bought a small 3 bedroom home after he got his first job out of high school. So they’ll own it before too long. There are stories like this all over the place. Sorry you’re not seeing it. It’s pretty amazing! Good, strong conservative kids.

I know people who married very young and did fine.

I, OTOH, could barely afford gas and car insurance at age 20...so thankfully I wasn’t married!

I glad. I still think it is crazy. I have seen many military folks get married at the ages you claim and it is failure. Anyway until death we will never know if they will survive....same with those that get married at a responsible age. My sister got married at 23, 15 years ago so yes it does work but it is statistically more difficult and ends in divorce. I am just thankful that my sister found a good husband and four children later are doing great. But at least they finished college first. I guess that is where the responsibility part comes in. Those who don’t finish college typically don’t finish their marriages either. You need to have that desire to be successful in ALL aspects of life.
