Young marriage

While not everyone wants to get married, nobody should shame you for wanting to get married at a young age... or any age.

"We had people at our wedding talking about what a waste of money it was to even make the trip and attend. I shed way too many tears caring about what they thought."

Our culture looks down upon getting married before 25. I want to challenge this narrative! Here are 11 myths about getting married young.

I got married at the ripe age of 19. And no, I’m not stupid. I don’t think that 19 really means 30. I get it. It’s young!!! And because it’s so young I know there are a lot of misconceptions out there about what getting married as a teenager is really like. My goal with this post is not to convince every 17 year old out there to go get hitched. I just want to shed some light on my experience!

Also, a new trend in the 21st century is to get married much later. In the 1950's/60's, people got married very young, often times around 20 years old. Now, many people choose to put their career before actually getting married. The average age to get married today is around 27.

Is delaying marriage always the best path? While getting married young isn’t for everyone, there are actually some distinct benefits to doing so.
