I agree. Different friends of mine have been getting engaged sometimes before they even graduate from high school, or after only dating for a few months. Granted, sometimes those marriages end up lasting lifetimes, but... well, I'm pretty much agreeing with Nikki said here. :\ Marriage is a HUGE commitment, and when you're young, you're still changing *so* much. It just seems that people take marriage way too lightly these days (and I'm not necessarily referring to people who get engaged when they are young, but people who go through three or four different husbands/wives in a short period of time.. yeah, see celebrity marriages.) Also, people now seem to get engaged and then just break it off like it's not even a commitment they're making. :/ Plus.. there's the whole aspect of not really getting to experience life and dating other people, and it could increase the chances of one or both partners becoming "restless" in the marriage (again, a former friend of mine married soon and ended up wondering if she married the right person for her, and if she rushed into it too soon.)
So yeah. I agree with you.
