Re: Marriage
Well, I personally think people shouldn't get married at least until they're past college (and other forms of schooling) and are at least 20.
While the entire ideal around marriage is to *cough* "eternally" be with the one you love, it has a lot of other stuff around it that has to be considered as well. It costs money for one, and I certainly don't think a lot of fresh high school grads or college students would be able to afford it.
I also think a couple should at least know each other for a couple of years before they ever consider marriage, much less actually dating. How oculd you possibly know if you want to spend the...err...rest of your life with someone if you haven't known them but for a few months?
And with at least being twenty... I just don't think a lot of people my age realize or are ready for it all. There are seniors who know that they're going to marry their boyfriend/girlfriend of two weeks, even though they broke up with a previous "fiance" only days before the new relationship. While that's hardly everybody, you still some stuff like that in a whole lot of high school relationships, and I hardly doubt anything changes soon after graduation.
