Oh, I couldn't disagree more. I was 21 when I got married, and I really had to deal with the fact that while most 20-somethings were out sewing wild oats, I was already settled down with one person.

I can't imagine what making a lifelong commitment at the age of 13 would do to a person--and I don't see how a 13-year-old could authentically make a promise to be with one person for the rest of their life. I know some 13-year-olds. They have a hard time foreseeing the end of the current hour, let alone the rest of their life.
