Ben Shapiro: Why You Should Get Married Young

I need advice ASAP. Both of my parents have been divorced since my early childhood, so I have defaulted to the standard nuclear family structure as the ideal. I want to marry young, but both of my parents say that I must spend my early-mid twenties finding out who I am. They say that I will probably grow apart from my girlfriend when I am in my twenties, and that it will be much more devastating if I am married and have kids then. I don't know what to do or say. I see how they are biased, but what can I really say? "I am your teenage son and I know better than you" sounds stupid. It is stupid.

Totally agree with you shapiro! Even though I'm 31 and I didn't get the chance to marry young, it's still very good advice.

Contrary to popular belief, marrying young is not a mistake. Delaying marriage when you really love each other, is an even bigger mistake.

It's best to be marriage minded and not career-minded or sex minded like a lot of young people are nowadays. Those people will end up alone.

Ben in this world now I disagree about marriage you're Jewish you have money case you break up as mere mortals women will tear us to shreds in divorce court we don't have millions of dollars like you have courts always favor the women I've been very fortunate I never got married now I saved up a good amount of money but a lot of my friends are in that situation their wife took everything from them like I said they're not wealthy Jews like you. None Jewish people have really hard we don't have connections.

Great advice thanks brother ❤

Would be interesting to see what's the divorce rate in the jewish community. They are usually very rich and traditionalists. Can't compare to the average Joe, not-belonging to a minority that protects itself, the average Joe who gets ripped off by the state the laws of which favour women.

I am from an African home, and my mom wants me to marry quite early. I asked her what if we have a baby and I won't take care of it. She said that I shouldn't worry that she will take care of it until I get my shit in order😂

Guys, nowadays you have 60% chance to divorce. So, would you risk your life, your earnings, your years to something that you have 60% percent chance to loose? No need obviously.

I'm currently in a relationship where the man I'm dating is claiming that he wants to be with me forever but doesn't see why we have to be married for that to be the case. How do I explain that marrying me IS making that choice?

u should not marrie is true slavory and hell. 25 years a bad life...

guy talking like we live in Victorian times without relevance to our current culture.

I want to get married. God bring the one. I am ready ❤

Just be yourself, 🥰 and if im single to the day I die, then it's okay to be alone! 😉👍 I'm never ment to find stupid love with another person! I got family and a job thats it....... 👌

Leaving and cleaving. That's marriage as prescribed in the Word. Exchanging vows and rings is just stuff we added. I'll stand firm on this one. Mary Magdalene was a companion of Jesus that was not his wife. Whether physical or not, she was not his wife. We can have wonderful relationships that aren't marriages. But let's just call things what they really are.

Great advise.

An exception not the rule.

22 years old and just got married this week ❤

I can't wait till this joker ends up getting divorced just like Stephen Crowder😂😂

I’m 50 years old. I used to want to get married..I’ve given up on looking

Don't try to meet the right person at a bar or on the street. In person social activities are the key. This is any place there are people you see regularly like work place, bridge club, and school. Its not the grocery store in a big city where you hardly ever see the same people. BTW, the left sees singles as a voting group that reliably vote Democratic. So when you are getting advice on how to vote, they don't care if you never have the love and security of grandchildren.

I’d get married but my dream man is taken

Ben Shapiro divorce ur doctor wife pls 🥺🥺

I think marrying young is better because people havent been burned by life. If they marry the person that took their virginity, they dont have a comparison. Also, they are not in heart break because they married the first person they fell in love with. And can they build wealth quicker together, build and be more stable over all by working together in their marriage. Sleeping around for years, having numerous failed relationships, out of wedlock kids, child support, children by different people. Then trying to marry later on life once they have all this heartbreak baggage and a negative viewpoint life and relationships. Plus..they been through years of selfishness that makes it harder to marry later when a person has a harden mindset when selflessness is needed to make a marriage work. God instituted marriage. All the sin people engage in in their younger years often can be some of the very things that makes them less desirable as a marriage partner as they age. Proverb 5:18 Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth.

Modern dating wholly ignores the concept of love.

Marrying later in your thirties, forties or fifties is way better than getting married in your twenties. You are less likely to get a divorce if you delay getting married later in life.

Ben is soooooooo arrogant. He always thinks that because something worked for him it'll work for everyone.

Does anyone secretly or not-so-secretly hope Ben's wife dumps him just so that his "I know everything" ego might get knocked down a peg?

Autism mixed with religious delusion = Ben Shapiro

This is exactly why we should bring back child marriage. Straight from the womb to becoming a groom

Some marriages are successful and dedicated therefore I don’t see nothing wrong and infact I think it’s wonderful thing for people to get married so young

I disagree. You shouldn't get married, period. At least, not under the current law for the men. That's just idiotic.

Its funny how the last 30 years of my life. men have always said. Why get married when I can get the milk for free. And now that wemen are basically saying the same thing now. Men are freaking out..

Mr Ben Shapiro you speak volumes of Truth

Except it is well known that people who marry young are way more likely to divorce. His reason for promoting early marriage is fully ideological, and thus completely divorced (pun intended) from reality. Thanks Ben for being a knob as usual.

I dont understand..there are a core group of people like this guy advocating marriage. Why? Just shut up about it

Everything he said can b achieved without the institution of marriage

I don't need marriage to live a good life.

I got married when we both were 18, best decision I've ever made

never get married , specially not when you are young

Getting married young is a stupid idea. Not everyone can attract a wife.

Beautiful! Amen!

Christian couples are happy

You shouldn't get married at all. Marriage offers absolutely nothing for a man. All the laws lean in women's favor. Why would you sign a contract with a woman when it's only the woman who benefits by breaking that contract. Well over 50% of marriages end in divorce, and over 80% of those divorces are initiated by women. Well over 80% of the time the woman is awarded the children, child support, alimony and the house in all divorces. The man is always limited in how often he is allowed to see his own children. The woman's new boyfriend can see her children every day. The man is threatened by a judge that if he fails to pay child support he will be put in prison. Getting married today for a man, it's the worst investment you'll ever make and the biggest gamble you'll ever take. We all know how indecisive women are, they change their minds about everything all of the time. What makes any man think that his wife will never change her mind about him? It only takes four words for a woman to flush a man's life down the toilet. Those words are, "I'm Not Happy Anymore." Any judge will grant any woman a divorce if she says just those four words. A man getting married today is a fool, plain and simple. As a man you are gaining nothing and walking into an institution with the likely hood of losing everything. Be wise guys, marriage is a trap. (Single, Happy, Free, with a whole lot more Money.)

It's a fact 50 percent of first marriages end in divorce. Out of the other 50 percent that stay married 30 percent stay for business reasons. That leaves 20 percent that might work. If you had a 20 percent chance your parachute would open would you jump out of an airplane? I don't think so. Most marriages are jokes.

He was 24, she was 20, how old were they when they first met?

Man yapped for 2 and a half minutes without actually explaining the importance of marriage.

Im 22 I’ll probably be single forever

your speed so fast man

I’m 25 and I want to get to engaged this year. I’ve been dating and I will keep putting myself out there. I would at least like to get married by 1-2 years.

It's not some people just want to be alone.

The translation is women must marry while young because the time when they figure out they decision it’s too late to walk away

I found the girl of my dreams and will be marrying her. Don’t rush marriage, don’t do it because of peer pressure, finances, or tradition. Always date, always be searching, but be happy with yourself all along the way. I’m turning 30 and found the girl of my dreams, it doesn’t matter if you’re 40 or 60 or more, you can feel like a kid with a crush again even if you’re older. The key is to not just throw your hands up and wait for someone to come around. Get after it, and keep after for years, being happy with yourself the whole time, and never rushing things. You’ll find the one you love.

I truly second this idea so that rich nations do not steal human resources from other poor nations. It's an another name for legal immigration.
