My husband's step-family is Mormon, but he was not raised Mormon.
His step-cousins all got married around 17 and had children immediately after.
Most of them are in their early to mid 20's with 3-5 children each.
All of their friends are the same, none of them went to college or got jobs, they just graduated high school and got pregnant.
Why does it seem like many Mormons have a lot of children so young?
Why does it seem like many Mormons don't value education or living independently without a spouse at 18?
I love children a lot too, family is extremely important to me, but I moved out at 18, got a job, went to college and had fun and now I am planning my first baby at 25.
(And I didn't sleep around, do drugs, drink, etc. I have only had one sexual partner and that's my husband!)
Can someone explain this to me?
