If I married the guy I was dating at age 18, I would be in a sorry state today. I’m glad that I wasn’t pushed into marrying him!As for the question of how we resolve the issue of promiscuity in our current culture, for Christians at least, I would say we should encourage younger marriages. No, I'm not talking teen marriage, more like being married by 18-22 or so. I actually know quite a lot of other devout Christians who have gotten married at this age, despite both the husband and the wife still being in college. I even know one couple who are having baby this August and the wife is 21 and going into her senior year of college.
If the right person is there, then it may be good, but not everyone is prepared at that age to know who would be a good partner in marriage for their lives.
