I know personal experiences could not matter any less, but my Grandmother got married when she was 17 to my grandfather who was 19. They're still married to this day, have 3 kids and own a 2 story house.

And I am guessing she got married at a time when lots of people got married at 17...when at 17 you actually were a woman, and 19 you actually were a man.

So you are saying it is smarter to risk your life on a gamble than to give it time, let it grow and, what was the other thing? Oh yeah....visit your new homeland before you move there.

It's like you guys are trying to tell him that really he doesn't really love her, just because he's "young"

I hope you are not including me in "you guys" because I never said anything like that. And no one said anything about love. What young people forget sometimes is that marriage is more than love. It's a life-long commitment that needs to be made by people that understand what that means.

I could go on about youth and committing to something, but you made my point best:
