I am 20 years old and I'm not married, and it's not because no one's been interested. ;) I AM LDS, but I am also from California, so I sort of have a more liberal view of marriage than your average BYU student. I imagine myself at 18 and 19 and there is NO WAY I was mature enough to make an eternal commitment to someone. Now, starting my twenties, I see myself becoming mature enough to be that kind of person for somebody else. No where near ready, but maybe in a year or so? It might be because I've found someone I could see myself being with for forever, but who knows. ;)<br /><br />Also the other problem I have with people marrying young is that usually they don't date for very long before they get hitched, or date very many other people. I read your about me and it looks like you guys met in HS? And you dated for 10 months, which is a long time in Mormon standards. To me, it just looks like you found your eternal companion at 14 years old, and I met someone who could be mine at 19 (okay, it was the day before my 20th birthday. Ha!)<br /><br />Anyway, sorry for the novel! I love your ideas about marriage! Very thoughtful. I love that you are so in love! :)Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06532899712985168672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282008908176673695.post-35479001212835810332012-02-12T22:05:38.497-07:002012-02-12T22:05:38.497-07:00Hey Kailie!

Ol...I totally understand where you are coming from. Old family friends even at my reception were asking me how old I was, "19" I would reply. And they would have this look of shock and horror. But for the most part, I've always been seen as responsible and everyone always thought I was older so it hasn't been too much of a problem. I can understand why people especially outside of LDS culture would be scared out of their mind with getting married so young, with the 50% divorce rate and all. Good post though :)<br /><br />http://breezydaysblog.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08367246574101132333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282008908176673695.post-53323325761133569032012-02-12T21:18:58.433-07:002012-02-12T21:18:58.433-07:00I just left a comment on your post over at The You...I just left a comment on your post over at The Young, Married Life, but I wanted to comment you over here, too.

Most people think I am crazy. But I have very strong feelings about our family and the choices we have made with regards to having children. I wouldn't change a thing, regardless of what people think or say. <br /><br />Love ya!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6282008908176673695.post-73474652606243291312012-02-10T17:03:15.728-07:002012-02-10T17:03:15.728-07:00I loved this! :)
