With Divorce Rates Climbing, Is Getting Married at an Earlier Age the Solution?
East Texans Sound-Off on a Recent Article Maintaining Couples should Focus on Getting Married at a Younger Age.

Tyler—
Many Christian Counselors say couples should look at getting married at a younger age to avoid getting 'caught-up' in their careers and causing relationships to fracture.






Abstinence is key. I think the problem with the divorce rate is not about age. It's about going into a marriage thinking they can get out if things don't work out. Counselors, pastors, teachers, parents should all share with their kids that unless there are extreme circumstances (abuse,etc.) there should be no back door option, no getting out.

7 months agoI got Married at the age or 20 but my husband is older he is 29. our marriage is great. The thing is some people think they are ready for it where others just want a wedding. The thing is befor you get married you got to talk about what ifs. on the fact what would cause a divorce and how avoiding them. If you just up and fall out of love that is not it. try to bring that spark back marriage is work so you do got to work at it for things to be good. befor you get married can you see your self with that one person for life? you make a covenant with them befor god and people you know. that should never be broken.
