    There is an argument that people should marry when they are (*both*) younger. More time to be fruitful and multiply. More time together, instead of encouraging high "body counts" and high-risk behavior. Delaying marriage is not as altruistic as it sounds.

      It also results in people who get to raise kids while having zero adult life experience.

        i think its the sex part that results in kids, not the marriage part.
