You are just starting life, so why would you want to be tied down for the rest of your life with someone? I'm not trying to be judgmental...I just want to know why.

Because it is the "next step" in the progression of life. It's what we're supposed to do isn't it? Go to college, get a great job and then settle down and get married and have kids---in that order. My hubby did exactly that and ended up in a miserable obligatory marriage that ended in divorce. He admitts that it was because marriage was the "next step" on his "Life to do list". I find it sad that so many people follow suit.

You right starting a "new" life and what is better than to start it with someone you love. The great thing about marriage is the partnership. So when you start off in your career, then you two are able to set goals for you and your family together and see those things come true. As long as the love, commitment and trust of God is there, why not wait. You're at the point in life where you want to make all the past dreams come true. As I think about your question more and more, I think you are mixing what marriage is all about and those who married straight out of college just because they think it's the IT THING TO DO...now yes, they are same people who keeps driving the divorce rate up.

I got married almost straight out of college. You use the term "tied down" like it's a bad thing. I would rather be wrapped in the bonds of holy matrimony with the woman I married 21 years ago, than be single. By far! I like the married life much better than I ever liked the single life.

If you look at marriage as being tied down, then clearly it's not for you.
I see nothing wrong with marrying right out of college if the couple feels emotionally prepared to do it and feels it's the right time. When you love someone and know it's the right thing to do at the right time, it's perfectly fine to marry (unless you just got out of high school, then it's a different story).
Marriage is not about being tied down. It's about love, companionship, respect, and achieving dreams together.

Actually in some cultures and beliefs out of college is pretty old to not be married..... SOme people find the one they want to be with at a young age and dont want to lose them..which is sensible because tommorrow is not gurrenteed.... so they probably just want to follow their heart....

Because some people want that and are ready for it. I knew my husband was the guy for me and he knew I was the one for him and we wanted to have a family young. We didn't see it as being "tied down", we saw it as growing together and having lots of adventures together. Some people who get married actually like eachother! If you aren't ready then that's fine too! Nobody's forcing you.

I graduated from college 2 years ago, and we got engaged right then. we're just now getting married, but would have done it earlier if we could have. I don't see the problem with getting married right out of college. You have an education, a career, goals...why not a spouse?

I got married while I was in college, b/c I love my husband. We'd been dating for almost 5 years anyway, it was time to tie the knot! We knew where we wanted to live, the lifestyle we would have, and what we wanted to do in each of our lives, so we were more than ready to get married. And I'm happy!

People have lots of reasons ....different ones at that.. But I can see how some people want to start their lives with someone they feel is going to be their partner, teammate ,and want to be with them every step of the way!!!! Grow old with them share an entire life with that person... Others like my sister like to ride solo and now she's kind of use to it and happy this way !
