I'm concerned about the "there is nothing wrong with..." line. I am uncomfortable with the suggestion that we advocate young teens getting marriage. Many statistics show that regardless of religion or background, few teen marriages survive, just do to 1) the immaturity of the two participants, and 2) the very real economic demands of today's society. Perhaps the line might be better with something "while teen marriage is defiantly better than having sex as an unmarried couple, it is wise to wait, if possible" or something.... I'm not good with the words, of course. --JeanJacques 20:12, 18 November 2008 (EST)
