The Young Marriage Epidemic, Feel Free To Bump The Breaks

"I'd like to congratulate my friend Sally & Winston on their good news and hope they have wonderful lives together"
"Cheers to my best friend Billy Bo & Jane on their engagement, truly a match made for each other"

Have you been seeing facebook statuses like that or at least get tired of seeing those? Or your friend tells you about one of their college roommates just ask his girl to marry him? Are these people serious? I feel like I'm living in Mississippi again where all the young kids/adults was already married to each other, out of high school or at least 2 or 3 years removed from school. Some of you may be thinking that I don't understand this, they love each other and they are ready to start their lives together, yada yada, blah, blah. I completely understand what they are thinking and they are ruining shit for their relationship down the line, I tell you.

Unmarried Couple; Things that are enjoyable -
Hanging with your friends & taking trips with them(clearly more fun when you're not married)
Drinking & getting drunk(oh you can do this once you're married too....but wait we're adults now and it isn't the right thing to do in in front of people)
Sex(Unmarried sex has to be better than married sex, without a doubt it's better.)
Money(You both have your own money, separate bank accounts, carefree of any major bills)

Married Couple; Things that become ruined -
Hanging with your friends & taking trips(Hanging with the married couple once or twice is alright but deep down inside its kinda awkward. Missing out on all the jokes and stories)
Drinking & getting drunk( oh no we can still get drunk, just last night ashley and I got wasted off a couple bottles of bud light and some wine while we was watching Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist.) which that movie is so underrated anyways.
Sex(you're married now, you see each other every single day/night....peace out sex, it was nice knowing you)
The Parents( Yo, when you two were just a couple you didn't have to worry who's parents are coming over and why are they trying to have dinner tonight, you could make a lie and you're good. Now you're expected to have the early bird dinner with momma & poppa bear, plus they know your phone and have your facebook)
.....having a baby(goodbye and see you around)

Now most likely I'm wrong on every single thing I that described but it's still a couple of things that some young couples on the verge of getting married should think about. It's also your job to talk your friends out of marriage and holding back for a couple more years, have a little bit more fun before things start to change.
