as the other comment touched on, at some points in history their ages were acceptable for marriage up until like only very recently
I sometimes wonder what people were like as adolescents because I felt very attracted to the opposite gender from like age 10 onward...
biologically in an alternative timeline I could see myself having married as a minor, although it's a good social rule of thumb to delay marriages for non-biological reasons
I only expect this conversation to become more dysgenic, with "conservatives" being against people marrying until 21+ or older ages, playing in to the "extended adolescence" meme
It certainly makes sense to have kids when you can keep up with them. Even if there were a compromise - maybe not 16 but how about 20? I had my kids in my early thirties. Had a secretary who married her high school sweetheart. She was going on a cruise with just her husband for her 40th and I said, "who is going to watch the kids?" She said "They're 20 and 18 I think they'll be okay." This conversation was years ago. She is still working at the same company and I am sure she is totally financially secure. She and her husband were both very financially responsible. Every time I see her on FB they are out and about, biking, hiking, etc. They stayed really young because they raised their kids when they were young.
Yeah, I think there's a whole conversation that just isn't happening... some people are "too young", but then when you're a little older it can become different (or impossible to have kids at some point too, you can get too old)
There are a lot of declining fertility rates and I think this is part of that culture ("too young to have kids" ... to the point where people just don't have kids)
yeah, but I just expect people to keep moving the ages to older and older
