  Is that strange where you are from?

    Indeed. Here most people are still either getting their education or just starting with work.

      I got married while in school and just before starting my internship. Going through school married is awesome.

        The time in life where you’re most likely to experience sexuality and get laid. And instead you spend it exploring sexuality with a loved one. I mean… it could have been worse.

    Yeah, I’d say so. At 22 the human brain isn’t even fully developed. Tim and his wife are children acting out some theatrics inculcated by their (almost always) religious community. Then again, I live in an American state that embraces education and critical thinking, so my assumption is ol Tim is from Utah, or some other regressive theocratic place where they’d rather nip autonomy in the bud and tether young people to a prescribed way of life that hasn’t otherwise existed outside of these antideluvian pockets for the last 70 years.

    But I’m probably reading too much into it.

      This feels like a 16 year old posting a pseudo intellectual argument so they can feel smart.

      People throughout history have been married way younger.

      It’s only a very recent phenomenon in 90% of the world that people don’t get married by 22. Even go back to the 80s and 90s which weren’t that long ago - getting married under 25 was exceptionally common

        I used to think the women of the past were all married young or spinsters, from reading little house on the prairie and other books. But looked up my ancestors on that Mormon website and was surprised to find that most were 28, 29. Even going pretty far back. This was mostly the US (and this area before unification) and southern Europe though, don’t know that it can be extrapolated. I just didn’t expect it.

      this sounds kind of… completely crazy to be honest

      also, isn’t the human brain fully developed in most people by the age of 21? or it’s 25, i dont remember. but even if it is 25, 22 is really close. i see no problem in marrying at that age

        It never really finishes developing, and the 25 number is taken way out of context. There’s no nice number here.

        I’m kind of sad that you haven’t changed enough to be incompatible with that person. The people I was into at 22 are not the people I am into now.

        I meant more the other direction. Marrying anyone under 30 is crazy. I’m glad it worked out for you but 22 year olds are children that sometimes get blackout drunk for fun. I remember myself and my dating age cohort at 22, any of us making any permanent decision is kinda crazy.

  Americans marry early. And often.
