Although my marriage turned out for the best, I would certainly not advise young people to get married at 22, unless they have known each other for some years (5 years in our case) and they do not intend to have children right away. The decade between 20 and 30 is as important as teenage years for turning into an full-grown adult, and I sometimes see how marriage is such a 'grown-up' thing that it takes a lot of faith and mental maturity to happen before 30.

And I see now that I am older than I thought I was, since I was married in 2004 at the age of 33. Year 12 seems a long way off, but not impossible. Congratulations!
