I like to tell people that in those days the legal age for marriage in Washington state was 12 years old.
When my own kids were adolescents and starting to be curious about such things, I was embarrassed when they asked about our ages when we married. Sophie was 21, with a year in college still to finish. And I was 23, one year out of college. I gasp to think of my kids being married at the same age. I know the average age for marriage continues to rise, and the US average is still younger than in western Europe.
My backing is all anecdotal and mainly personal. First, a little disclaimer. Give it time. My own simple version is that in some social circles, the ultimate status symbol is a stay-at-home wife. Yes, we were married young, very young. And many of our lifelong friends were similarly married in their early 20s. Overall, our track record is pretty good. The obvious explanation for these early marriages is sex, of course.
Sophie and I met at a squeaky clean evangelical college. Many of our close friends met at similar colleges or churchy environments with conservative sexual ethics. Premarital sex was a big no-no. Living together prior to marriage was severely frowned upon.
We would like to show you
Is it the sine qua non of Christianity? Did young Christians friends in the s marry early because they wanted to have sex within the bounds of marriage?
That said, the success rate of these marriages tells me there had to be more to it than that. In our particular case, there was—consciously or unconsciously—something of a now-or-never sense. Sophie was a foreign student here on a student visa. I was a couple years older, knowing I was heading to grad school soon. It felt like neither of us could simply hang around for a few more years to see what might happen.
Sidebar : Sophie became a US citizen in , 27 years into our marriage, after years of strong urging from her mother. She had been a young girl in Europe during World War II, and seen bad things happen to families of different citizenships. Such scenarios seemed laughably improbable to us. Times change. Not always for the better.
