I like his attitude. Not saying he is 100% right because what works for one does not always work for another. On the other hand from my own experience getting married relatively young  and having kids (as long as you are mature enough to have them) allows you to better enjoy physical activities with them such as sports and camping etc.. But each to there own I say.

Married at 20 and I know family and Friends were taking bets on when we would get divorced. Yes, they have all been divorced and some multiple times. It's been 38 years now and they all lost. The media, politicians and society in general always refers to 50% of all marriages end in divorce. We need to change the perception to how many stay married. Think of it this way and relate it to the people 100% of married people, How many of those married people get multiple divorces. By the time you run the stats on this, removing those people from the equation each time they divorce, I would bet you are around 85+% of all people marry 1 time and stay married for life.

I agree with what he said and think he could of said a whole lot more but what works for one does not work for some others, but what holds true for all is it takes two working and striving to make it happen.

When Celia and I got married her mom and dad made a bet that we would not last 3 years. So after 10 years I ask them both who won. It will be 50 years come Aug,18 and we are still one.

I was too dang immature at 19 to even think about marriage.

Was around 29 when Phantom Wife and I were married after being together for 7 years before. Coming up on 40 years this Oct 8th. Just liked discussed it is up to the individuals whether things work or not and circumstances  I too had a niece who said we wouldn't last 6 months and mother-in-law who really didn't like me much as wife deceived her telling her my wrong age(her dad had an idea as he worked with my dad but we got along well! )and also I rode a motorbike ( don't know why as her younger sister started going with a guy who also rode a bike but he could do no wrong) One reason I thought this is when we were going to get married there was no help from them and had to sell bike to get married and took 13 years too get another bike! 

BUT wouldn't change anything!

Guy I worked with bet me $5 we wouldn’t last 3 years. I made him pay me at 3 years.  His $5 bill has been in the frame of one of our wedding pictures for 27 years in May.
