I don't agree with marriage at all. It's way too messy. Ceremonies are great and beautiful, but the government should have nothing to do with your relationship.
The government does very little with your relationship. Instead, they give you benefits for being married; that's they only reason they restrict marriage ages and redefine what a marriage is so as to include other couples into getting those benefits. Trust me when I say you want those benefits, too.
The government needs money to work, and it gets that money from its citizens. To make sure everyone is making a worthwhile contribution, they have taxes, taking a "small" portion from every dollar here and there. Some things are taxed higher, such as cigarettes and alcohol, called the "Sin Tax". You want to do unhealthy things, fine, but we're going to charge you for it, since you clearly have more money than you need.
When you're married, they go easier on you both, and having kids or dependents will save you some on your income taxes so you have more money to spend on taking care of them.
Young couples can't get married because the government doesn't want to give those benefits. (cont)
(cont) They originally didn't give gay couples those benefits because the idea of them was to have money to spend on raising a family, and since gay couples can't reproduce, the marriage was pointless. Times have changed, and people have shown that gay couples can still adopt, and married couples don't always have kids anyways, and some couples get divorced and raise kids without the marriage benefits, so the benefits are currently only applying to the couple anyways, and has nothing to do with procreation.
However, they still have the limit on younger people due to still being dependents themselves, relying on their parents. I disagree with age 25 restriction personally, and say 18 is fine because they are technically an adult and have the right to make decisions about their future, including who to spend it with.
The government just intervenes and muddles because they're giving up some of their money to help support you and your relationship. It's just looking out for itself.
@kiomadoushi Relationship status should have nothing to do with taxes to begin with. The government does get involved, especially in divorce. The courts get involved with your income, assets, and debts. It has nothing to do with protecting government money, but getting their hands into your pockets. Marriage is a legal contract, and has nothing to do with true love.

We were both 25 when we married and are still happy together, after all those many happy years.
Yes, I agree with you. We need to learn more life values to be mature and gain life experience before we reach 25 for marriage.
oh man, in two years i'm going to be 25 but sad to say i never have a girlfriend how much more getting married lol

@idnhswp You just made my day,

My parent's got married at 18 and 19 and they are still together 30 years later and they are still head over heels for each other
I know it can work. It's just definitely not a bad idea to wait and be sure because it's a huge decision to make.
I wrote a less angry, more personal version if you want to read it. www.girlsaskguys.com/.../a11058-young-marriage-divorce-kids
People in general shouldn't get married.
There's a ~1/3 and rising chance of you getting divorced, and a 10% chance of having illegitimate children.
yep that's why i'm waiting til i'm 25
totally agree with you
Thanks random person on the internet!
