  • You do you, man!
    I don’t see why you would though. There’s no purpose to actual marriage except taxes. There’s no difference in marrying now or marrying in 10 years from now. Being together is what actually counts. But you should just do what feels good.

    Keep in mind though, marriage as in “sharing your entire life with someone”, is not something that just happens. It takes work to make a marriage work. Marrying at this age means that you both still have a lot of growth to go through. When you’re both 30, you will not be the same persons as you are now. If you want to remain together at that point, you will have to also grow your relationsship into something new that works for your 30 year old selfs. It takes compromise, sacrifice, trust to make a marriage last.

    A common complaint to marrying this young is that you will “miss” the freedom of the bachelor life. The risk is that you will regret missing out on the bachelor life, later in life. You’re the one to dicide if you rather want to live wild and free now, or start the rest of your life right now. Imho, marriage doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on experiences, but you’ll have different experiences, shared experiences.

    You will either grow into this relationship, making it more likely to succeed or you will grow into someone else, making it more likely to fail. Don’t let that hold you back in doing what feels good though. Life is never a certainty. I got married and a kid a 23 and I’m still happy at 36.



  • Blame tablet culture. Everything is now optimally desgined for user friendliness. Kids can just download an app from the appstore and point at what they want it to do. People don’t even know anymore how the filesystem on their computer works. If the dow load pup-up in chrome disappears, they think the download has dissapeared and they need to download it again.
