Young women today do not marry the men they met in high school, or even the one they go out with at college, because they do not need to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When people get married young, you don't really understand the true definition of marriage.
If men knew how women pass the time when they are alone, they'd never marry.
I've never quite understood why people marry; marriage is just an invented structure.
For so many generations, a woman's only career path was to marry well and to marry up. Those days have changed.
Marriage is not about age; it's about finding the right person.
It used to be that you came out of school, and you got married - those who were going to get married. But my peers are getting married in their early 30s, so now there's like this extra 10 years of that angst.
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
I don't think anybody should get married before they're 30. You're too young to really know yourself.
When I went to college, as much as my parents emphasized academic achievement, they emphasized marriage even more. They told me that the most eligible women marry young to get a 'good man' before they are all taken.
I'm about the only person in my family that's made it to 24 without being married. That's the way it works where I'm from. Most people, if you find someone to marry in high school, you do that, and if you don't find that, then you find someone in college.
