Welcome, web-surfin' sisters! How young is too young to get married? Most people would agree that 18 years olds, despite being legal adults, are too young, inexperienced in navigating relationships, and impulsive to marry. Even wedding ceremonies celebrating couples in their early twenties can muster gossip from guests: "Aren't they too young? They're not even done with university. Are they sure that they're on the same page?" In reality, there is no magic number that grants someone the maturity required to make a long-term commitment like marriage; some people are simply ready to settle down sooner than others.
In our story today, a father, projecting his own regrets over marrying before he was mature enough, advises his son not to marry before the age of 30. When his son, 27, ignores his counsel and proposes to his long-term girlfriend, he loudly objects, completely ruining and tainting what was meant to be a special moment. Scroll down to see if their father-son relationship has any hope for repair.
