[QUOTE="probinson, post: 77159089, member: 121249"] Exactly. My wife and I got married when she was one month out of high school. We were both over 18 (she had JUST turned 19 two days before our wedding and I was 21). This year we will celebrate 24-years of wedded bliss. Now some would say, "You were over 18, so it's OK!" This mindset that you suddenly become able to make sound, rational decisions the day you turn 18 and that you are wholly incapable of this until your 18th birthday is odd. To repeat, my wife had been out of high school for a month when we got married. The hotel wouldn't even let me make the reservation for our wedding night without talking to our parents first. I've known 16-year olds that are more mature and rational than 50-year olds. Age is nothing but a number. Should everyone get married at 16? Of course not. But I just don't understand why other people even care, and some so passionately that they want to make it [I]illegal.[/I] [/QUOTE]
