Let’s be honest, I’m not a fan of early marriage.
Not because marriage isn’t beautiful (it is), but because many people rush into it unprepared.
Too many young men and women are getting married before they even understand who they are, their triggers, their values, their emotional patterns, their boundaries.
Marriage doesn’t erase immaturity.
It exposes it. You can be 22, married, and still have the emotional intelligence of a teenager, always wanting your way, always blaming your partner, always running when things get tough.
I’ve seen people confuse early for right.
Just because you met early doesn’t mean you’re ready.
Just because everyone around you is getting married doesn’t mean it’s your time.
I’d rather you marry late and prepared, than early and broken.
Because marriage will stretch you.
It will demand communication, sacrifice, self-awareness, and emotional stability.
And if you haven’t done that personal work, you’ll bleed on the one person who didn’t wound you.
So no, I’m not a fan of early marriage.
I’m a fan of mature marriage, the kind that’s rooted in emotional growth, not external pressure.
The kind that’s built by two whole people, not two half-ready souls hoping love will fix them.
