Benefits of young marriages

[Pontigoose]

If certain ideologies did not have rules about having sex before marriage, what in your opinion are the advantages to getting married before 25? Honest question, I'm not religious but I see a lot of people from my high school grad class rushing to get married, I'm assuming so they can smash. Is there any other reason to rush such a thing?

 

[Bobby Boulders]

None. Waste of a good life.

 

[Serana]

I wouldn't rush something as serious as marriage. In fact, I would advise against marriage, period. lol

 

[zackryder]

is dat y most marriages end in divorce nowadays?

dam stupid kids w) their sheek headphones & rappity hippity hop

 

[KrazyKanadian]

Benefits? I suppose there are tax breaks. And if whoever you're marrying is rich, you could get a nice payday a couple years down the road.


Annnnd that's pretty much it.

Cultural conditioning ftw

I guess young couples have more energy to take care of the kids and play with them on a daily basis than a 37 yo would coming back from the office.

I don't see any other benefit.

really depends on the culture you grow up in.

but marriage below 20 its really not the way to go, anything after 22 is all good.

Was going to say what you said. When you have kids at a later age, you may not have the energy after a long day at work.

Plus, they might be out of the house by the time you're 45-50, as opposed to 55-60.

Can gain experience having affairs earlier.

Everyone that I know that got married before 25 got divorced. Luckily, none of them had children. Everyone that I know that got married in their 30's is still together.

For men, there in no reason. For women its child bearing. I wouldnt want women older than 25 if im marrying her to breed me boys. Oh and tax breaks.

I don't think there are any really good benefits to marriage period outside of economies of scale.

Well, I got married 3 months after my 22nd birthday. Still together after 16 years.

Pros: I have a son (premarital) who has already moved out and a daughter who is 15. So she will be going to college in about 3 years.

So, (in theory) my wife and I could be child free, and financially stable at the age of 41. That means traveling, hobbies, etc.

We will still be able to do things after kids that we want to do AND be able to afford them. Sure, we could have been childless in our 20s and probably had a great time. But we wouldnt be planning European vacations and looking at vacation condos like we will be in our 40s.

well you typically get married when you find the person you want to be with the rest of your life... which for many people (myself included) was college. Just because you get married, doesn't mean your life has to be boring or anything like that.

There is something to be said for having your kids at a younger age. I'm not ready for it, but I get other people who are. Kids can be a lot of fun.

If its a good solid marriage in the end, it will mean spending more of your fleeting life with the person you love. That's about it. But younger marriages can be rocky.

Good point

First response nailed it!

 

[Basil**]

As a divorce lawyer (seriously) I'd like to comment that most of my clients are people that got married younger than 25.

The only benefit that I can see is when you first get married you fuck like rabbits, so you're guaranteed sex everyday without having to do the whole bar scene. But that newlywed things only lasts so long.
