I have been in a good relationship with someone for awhile and marriage has never crossed my mind. I am a college senior and while I really like this girl, I doubt I will get married unless I am financially secured, have my career figured out, have bought a house + a car and ready to start a family. I have a friend who recently got married and she's 23. Shes finished some arts school and so has the guy she married ( I think the guy is way older- like 30 or something). Anyways, I feel that it is way to soon since I doubt she is emotionally ready for a commitment like that. They were dating for about 3 years and had moved in together for about a year. The thing, she has never truly been self reliant and was born with a silver spoon. Her dad paid her monumental education fees and helped support her and her BF while they were together. I really doubt that their combined income (without assistance from her family) comes close enough to buy a house + a car, or enough to truly support a child when it eventually comes a long. In fact, I give this marriage 2yrs at the most. What are your thoughts on people who marry straight out of post secondary school or while they don't have all the kinks worked out yet in their careers?
