Young marriages tend to be looked down upon because they have a very low rate of success. People change a lot in their late teens and early 20s and often grow apart from their spouses if they have married early. Additionally, the stress of trying to make a living and support a family with little or no advanced education leads to a high divorce rate. The divorce rate in this country for 1st marriages is almost 50%. The divorce rate for couples who marry young is even higher. In generations past, divorce was not socially accepted and a lot harder to get, so people stayed married – whether they were happy or not. Women had much less earning power than today, so economically they were required to stay in their marriages. Also, it was possible for a man to support his family reasonably well with no more than a high school education, so it wasn’t as important for people to go to college before getting married.
