I’m glad it worked for them but for most it’s still risky. Marriages occurring before 20 or after 45 are at greater risk.
I dare say that many of us do not know ourselves well enough in our early 20s to make irrevocable lifelong choices.

I guess times have changed. I have known couples who married right out of high school, and their marriages lasted a lifetime.

I don’t doubt it. I suppose it works for those who know themselves well at an early age.I have known couples who married right out of high school, and their marriages lasted a lifetime.

Those marrying starting at 22 are the most likely to do well but ultimately, it’s a person to person thing.

I agree. I am 31 and single and am very glad I did not marry young.

Some excerpts from the article:
On Oct. 3, my wife Lisa and I celebrate our 27th Wedding Anniversary.
I met Lisa when I was 17 years old, married her at 21, and became a parent with her at 22. If I have one regret, 27 years later, it’s that I didn’t marry her sooner.
Twenty-seven years of marriage, nine children, two broken-down cars, a bank account that flirts with a zero balance every two weeks, and a breathtaking sense of love and fulfillment. These things aren’t supposed to go together; yet, for us, they do. I’ve been in love with Lisa every moment of my adult life.
So much of our lives has been shaped by the fact that we were married young. Lisa and I, however, knew exactly what we were doing. We were both crystal clear that the primary purpose of marriage is the procreation and education of children, and we wanted to get on with it. And as far as procreation and education are concerned, I’m happy to report that we’ve done plenty of both in the past 27 years.
Happy Anniversary, Lisa!
