That's an interesting view of things. In the UK people tend to marry later rather than earlier although teen pregnancies are common.
My parents generation married young. My mother had her first child at 19 and her last me, at 26. I didn't have my first child until I was 29.
But then consider, my dad left school at 13 and the youngest a "child" can leave now is 18.
So I think a bit part of how successful a young marriage is depends upon the culture and time within which that marriage takes place.
My dad was earning and holding down a full-time job at 13 my son had to wait until he was 18. Having a job adds a lot to our maturity I think. it's not always about age but more about what we have already experienced in our lives.
I absolutely agree with you. I married young and had children young. I'm enjoying having grown children! But there is nothing in the world like pressure from your parents (now grandparents) and the pressure of a society that (at that time) expected us to grow up and meet our responsibilities as parents. Today, it feels like the grandparents just keep providing for their children and raise the grandchildren, too.
At any point. I totally agree the lack of training our young people into mature adults is the issue.
Don't get me started on the grandparents thing?!!! 😁
LoL there's definitely the good the bad and the ugly

Also because it was a culture that I can say was merged with the
Furthermore, age is mere a number and that doesn't reflect one's understanding about life. I have seen it quite well from the people surrounds me.
