Can anyone explain to a jaded young man with no faith in the system what "too young means". Unless you plan on being a kept woman or a farm hand 16 is auguably too young. Once you start getting in the age where you can buy a house and commit to a 20 year mortgage or military service I would need explaining on what too young means.

Hey XQ's, if you're not "too young" to get baptized, you're not "too young" to get married, right?...Ha Ha

Considering that JWs allow you to divorce, but not disassociate without consecquences you are right!

XQs: Perhaps "Too Young" should include "immature" and "inexperienced" as part of its definition?

Married my wife at 21 as was she. Both gagging for it so it seemed the right thing to do. Still together after 14 years and have 2 great kids. Like any marriage we have ups and downs but have manged to weather the storm even though we are no longer attending meetings. Would I marry older if I had a second time around? Yes.

Okay maybe you guys don't get me. I live in the ghetto so forgive me. Many people here at 21 are not married, have 2 or more kids, and never have been married. So maybe I am too jaded to see the importance of marring older. Can you explain it in more universal terms.
I am not trying to sound like a prick, but when I see a barely legal single mother I drop her newborn off at the day care I wish she was married. Socio-economically it works better even if they divorce in the future.
