On average, getting married early is a bad decision.

I would imagine it’s no worse than people who marry older. My wife was 20 and I was 25 when we got married, that was 15 years ago

Why’s that? People grow a lot with maturity and knowing what they actually want out of life between 25-40.

Of course this process never really stops but between those ages you’re going through a lot of transitions and new experiences. You’re still doing a lot growing up during that period.

It’s not unfair to say that marrying young is a bad idea because you don’t really know who you are yet and there is a lot of opportunity to grow away from your spouse.

By the time you’re much older a lot of this is out of the way. You’re lot further into your career and in a more stable place.

Anyway just my experiences but I don’t think marrying young is a great idea. I’m in my late 30s and I feel like a completely different person compared to my early 20s.

I’m not saying it’s always bad. I’m sure you’re very happy. But anecdotes don’t mean much. People are still growing up when they’re 20.

Very much so. But if you’re waiting to be a mature grown up before you gave kids you may as well give it up. You’re never mature enough you’re never ready enough. My wife had old parents, her mom was 46 when she was born. Her parents are the most immature people I know
