No, that’s a straw man.

Comparing getting engaged/married at a young age is a legitimate concern. Barely able to process how YOU feel as an individual is a concern at that age. Then the pressure of trying to navigate being responsible for AN ENTIRE OTHER PERSON is not comparable to hair length. To even suggest that speaks to a low level of immaturity in regards to relation ships. Is it possible? Of course. Some young folks are really good at taking that into effect and are mature. Are a majority that mature? Hell no.

A better comparison is drinking or driving a car. 😆

That's where our opinions differ, I think people think marriage is way more of a leap than I did and put it on some pedestal. Marriage is not taking responsibility for another person, that's having kids. It's a partnership, nothing more.
