Everyone gets married at different times for different reasons. I was so not ready in my 20s to be married to anyone so thank God I didn't but I did have friends that got married in our twenties and about half of them are still married.

The average age of marriage (read: AVERAGE. Some marry earlier, some marry later) for women is 27... and that increases with the amount of education you have. College educated women wait longer to get married than lesser-educated women. They usually have careers to worry about, are more independent/self sufficient (don't "need" a man to help support them/pay the rent) and tend to be more "down to earth" about the concept of marriage in general. Having more life experience tends to diminish the "price-charming" syndrome.
Who cares what your friends do? Do what's right for you. And yes, it's best to enjoy your life on your own terms - whether than includes partying or not - before having to deal with someone else, be it a husband or a child.

Getting married in their 20s and having kids works for some people and not for others. Some people don't party as hard as others. I got married when I was almost 22. There are days when I wish my husband and I would have waited a few more years, just to mature more as adults, but there are days that I'm so glad I married him when I did. It's a personal thing. As far as kids, I'm still amazed that people are having them as young as they do...I sure as heck couldn't imagine myself having a kid right now!

it's a fad. I got married at 19...it didnt last waisted my party years now i'm 30 all my friends got married and had kids in their early 20s...they are ALL divorced now. Your absolutly right, you don't want to hit 21 and cant party because you have to pay bills and take cake of a baby. see if you can find anyone that had made it last past their 20s...there arnt many if any.

LOL party it up darlin'! I know I did! I'm getting married this year but I'm almost 28 and still livin it up for a couple more years. Word to the wise. Wait at least 2-3 years after getting married to have babies. I know I am!! It leaves time for you to enjoy yourselves as a married couple before adding the stress of babies.

not all of us are party people. i graduated college at 21 and was married the next year. i do not feel the need to go out and sleep with all these guys. i found the right one and married him. partying and being drunk all the time does not sound like fun to me

I'm 20, and I partied as hard as anyone, so I do agree, everyone needs their free time, but my time with my husband is so much more fun and fulfilling than any one night stand or drunk story I have had.

I thought the same thing. Yes, your early 20s are when you're supposed to be enjoying your freedom, college, experiencing life outside of mom and dad's home. I don't know why so many people are in such a rush.

Everyone is different......not all young marriages fail.......and why are they getting married?........Well some believe it or not are actually in love. Oh and some actually aren't pregnant.
It's funny how you never hear about the successful young marriages...because that's not what people want to hear or isn't what is popular to hear about.
