@nerthos education is an important value among families at least in Utah generally which helps a lot to reduce crime and improve living conditions. At the same time, the age of newly wed couples with children in Utah is younger than the average family in the U.S. This is mostly because Utah culture promotes being married before having sex I think. There are some couples that fall apart rather quickly due to being unprepared, but youth is no excuse for lack of preparation in my opinion as seen by many young couples that are very successful due to being well prepared for that sort of relationship. Honestly I think that seeing any couple young or old, show that they're really trying to be a strong family by getting married, is better than just co-living, whether or not it ends in divorce. However in cultures where marriage can't easily be ended for social or legal reasons there can be big problems when abuse occurs like repeated law-breaking.
