I'm still here-again

[gunny]

Good morning DG,
Hope you are doing well this morning.

Wanted to comment on the idea of people marrying too young. I dont think it is so much the age, but, as you commented, the maturity level at marriage that makes a difference. There is no doubt in my mind that th maturity level of the average 21 year old today is no where near the maturity level of someone who grew up in say the 1930's or 40's. Children in those days were much more self sufficient and much, much less spoiled than are those of today.

Young people in those days had been tempered by the Great Depression and War. They knew the importance of family, and were taught to work together toward a common goal, i.e. putting food on the table, or winning the war. The concept of having to be happy, at the exclusion of all else, (including your s) was alien to these people. The throw away society did not exist. Talk to anyone who is still alive from those generations and they will almost always say the same thing. We worked our problems out, when the going got tough, we rolled up our sleves and went to work, today, when the going gets tought, many times peoples first thoughts are how do I get out of this situation.

Just my 2 cents,

Hope you are doing well today.
