Its weird you know, im 34 by my age many of my parents and their friends were married with kids in their teens.

I have neither nor do many of my friends, to me it seems odd that people get married so young, most were still in their teens.

As you can imagine its caused a bit of generational friction.

Is this, marrying young, quite common?

Sounds like a daft question but I bet many people over a certain age (50) maried at a younger age than many today, or am I just kidding myself.....
