Getting married young is just provoking a divorce my friend.

Maybe. Modern statistics would probably lead you to the same conclusion. However, my parents were married when they were both 18 and have been married for something around 30 years now. That was a long time ago and the world and the people living in it have changed a lot. However, I choose to believe true love can still be found at an early age, if you're lucky enough. I am 20 and she is now 25, still relatively young, it's hard to describe it to someone who has not felt it yet, it's this primal connection, you just really feel like together you are one person and apart you are not whole.

I appreciate your concern and believe your observation is backed up with many modern statistics. But again, you'll know when you find it that it is the right thing, no matter how young you are when you find it.

Side note: Love is such an unusual thing to research, it doesn't really have a quantifiable value, so a lot of the "studies" are just speculation really, but I know you were specifically referring to the modern divorce rate, which makes sense.

Very true, my parents were married when my father was 28, and she was 25, they got divorced after 15 years of marriage (around 2012). The divorce rate (don't quote me on this) went up some odd 81% higher than last year, and is still gradually increasing.
