The site is about young men and first time marriage. I think as time goes on, fewer will want to get married at a young age, or at all.

Just last night the bf and I were discussing a recent reunion he had with his schoolmates.

He said most of the men in his class got married shortly after high school, and are now divorced with a few kids and starting from square one.

If the divorce stats are right, then it should be around 50 percent of them are like that , or will be. The saddest part of that are the kids who wont get to experience a mom and dad under the same roof for maximum positive emotional development .

Exactly. That is so very important.

I'm wary of marriage because of the current divorce laws. They make it too complicate it and they favour women too much.

A recent poll had 40% believing that marriage is an obsolete institution. Of the remaining 60%, certainly a significant minority do not believe that it's right for them.

These percentages increase as boys mature into men and get some life experience.

Pressure from a girlfriend is not the same as pressure from parents, other close family and employers.

The girlfriend and the institution of marriage itself results in stress more than pressure.

REPLY: Which is why the stats of men aged 45-65 represent only 6.9 percent for remarriage. , and women 3.0 percent for 45-65 age range. It certainly shows that Men make their move toward marriage at a young age .

Nothing like a couple of 17 year olds to think they can make it work! Well... for a week or two!
