There are in fact middle grounds between marrying young and screwing around/having children with every guy you know... Also, marriage is supposed to be FOR LIFE. Obviously, it doesn't always work that way for everyone, but that is supposed to be the goal. So for everyone saying, "But they stayed together for TEN WHOLE YEARS!" It was totally a good idea for them to get married so young!"... no. Ten years and then divorce is not a successful marriage.

Im 27, and have had 0 children. Waiting till your older doesn't mean you're an idiot who's going to take ridiculous chances. Im very careful when I sleep with someone. Ive been on birth control since I was 18. I don't want kids till after Im married. Ive made that choice and plan to stick to it. Beyond just having birth control, I have also had teaching in Natural family planning, so I know when Im most fertile and stay away from those dates. Also, it's not like Im out ******* any guy that walks by. Currently, I only sleep with my boyfriend. Someone who actually has potential for a future relationship because we are both financially and emotionally independant and are choosing to be with each other. We know backgrounds and future plans the other has. Our goals can work well together. Plus, he's an amazing guy who actually knows how to treat a woman. (I thought the guys before did, but this guy puts them all to shame) Also, 10 years out of a 70-80 year life, isn't really that long. It seem slong when you're young, but it's a blink of an eye when you're older. My mom and dad were together for 8 years, but my mom's been with my stepdad for almost 20, now. Sorry, but I am choosing to find someone that will last till death do us part, not until one of us gets fed up and wants to move on.

We need more people like 132.

Except, since he handed her divorce papers on her 29th birthday, if they had waited until 28 to get married they probably would have already know they shouldn't GET married...

Yeah, those people aren't generally the type of people I like, either. Although, some situations are better off without the father involved. One of my old coworkers and friends had a guy who wanted to marry her. e introduced her as "the one" to everyone. They had an oops, and he told her to get rid of it. Made her life kind of a living hell for the next couple months, including sending her emails telling her which states abortion was still legal in. Her daughter will never know her real father, but I think it's a good thing. He told her that in 18 years, if she were to try and seek him out, he would tell her that he never wanted her and wants nothing to do with her. :/ I understand it in situations like that, but yeah, if someone is going out just sleeping with whoever and having babies like they're going out of style, that is AWFUL!
