I work with a married 23-year-old; I have an engaged 20-year-old friend (he's engaged to a 17-year-old), an engaged 21-year-old friend, a married 20-year old friend (he's married to an 18-year-old), and an engaged 17-year-old friend. They're all horrible reminders that I've never had a girlfriend. Luckee, you think you were thinking "WTF!?" Imagine half of your friends suddenly getting engaged or married.

Exactly how I feel.
Age has nothing to do with marriage. However, the maturity level of both parties and that of their relationship have everything to do with marriage. Age and maturity (of both people and relationships) grow over time, but not at the same rate. While age's growth is constant, maturity's growth is sporadic and varies
very much between people and relationships. If both people are mature and ready for marriage, and their relationship is ready to be taken to the next level, then I think marriage is a wonderful idea.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
