Topic: Mormons, and especially R.M.'s should NOT get married so quickly. Let's face it. Mormons have a pretty bad reputation for getting married when they're like 15 (okay okay, I'm exaggerating, but pretty much, right?!) Especially at BYU, so many girls get married as freshman and sophomores, and the boys only months after returning from serving missions. And then when you're not married by, say, 22, you're this freak of a person and a menace to society.
Thesis: Mormons should not get married at such young ages, and so quickly, because they need more time to fully mature and grow, to get to know their future companion, and to make sure they're marrying for the right reasons, rather than just pleasing society or their parents.
I think that it’s awesome that you’re a Charger’s fan, I have a good friend that used to play for San Diego- Ryon Bingham. As for your opinion editorial topic, I completely agree with you; both of my sisters decided to get married when they were only 18/19 and still trying to figure out what life was. I’m not saying that it can’t work or that you shouldn’t get married young, but as you said, allow some time to grow up a little first.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree with this more! Early marriage is madness! I'm excited to hear your reasons and arguments. Good luck:)
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree with you. I can completely understand needing the time to mature and figure out exactly what you want out of life, but I feel that if you have found the right person, and you are completely positive that they are the right person, then why would you want to put off being together? After all, two is better than one. There is a balance here of course, but I think that early marriage is alright if you are with your eternal companion. I think this will be a great paper though, and I am excited to see how you argue this point.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree about once finding the right person, to not wait forever to get married, but my main point is that people are getting engaged after as little as 2 or 3 weeks of knowing each other, let alone dating. I just think people need to spend a little bit more time dating and getting to know each other and see every side of each other rather than just jumping straight into marriage. After all, dating's the fun part, right?
DeleteI kind of have an opinion both ways on this. I agree that it is important to find out who you are and what you want, but I also think that it's important to get married younger sooner than later because that way the couple can grow together instead of being set in their own ways. I really like the ideas you present for your argument!
ReplyDeleteI really like what you said about growing together and I definitely agree with you! It's not as much about getting married young as it is getting married quickly though. It's just crazy when I see girls around my age engaged and married. I don't know if it's just me, but I don't think I'm anywhere near ready or mature enough to get married yet!
DeleteYeah I totally agree with you there, sometimes it can be too quick. Knowing them for longer than 2 weeks is important!
