My Thoughts on Young Marriage

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Ohio U chapter.

Being an adult means lots of things; no bedtime, candy for dinner and boys no longer have cooties. The boys that used to be “gross” and “icky” and “bleh” are becoming “honey” and “sweetheart” and “bae.” And while I totally support everyone’s life decisions; you’re making a bad one if you’re engaged at 20. Let me back up and justify my reasoning.

  1. “The why wait?” question

Uh, why not wait?

  1. You don’t understand

No one has ever loved anyone as much as Landon loved Jamie, and I’ve watched that movie (approximately) 100 times. YOU don’t understand.

  1. I know who I am and who s/he is

How did you get so confident so young?

  1. We’ll figure it out

How do you know? Money, having a good credit score and the ability to fail in a safe environment is important.

  1. It’s not your life

Oh, trust me. I know.

  1. We’ll be the couple that makes it

You’re not giving yourself a sound chance, statistically speaking.

  1. We can’t wait to have kids

You just gave me so much anxiety.

This is totally a personal decision and while I’m sure you’re tired of hearing all the hate, think about forever critically before you take the ultimate plunge.

But, hey. What do I know? #foreveralone
