Look at the success rates of people that are married before the age of 20, then 20-25, then after 25.
But look at the stats of those that marry young and those that wait:
"Figures released last year from the National Center for Health Statistics
found nearly half of marriages in which the bride is 18 or younger end in
separation or divorce within 10 years. For brides 25 and older, half as many
marriages break up."
(from the Associated Press)
This means that there is twice as much chance you will divorce if you marry at 18 than if you do at 25. That's why your feelings are more "valid" the older you get.

I see... I misunderstood what you were getting at.
