In order to close and solve the age gap problem we don’t need boys to marry girls exactly their age, we need to get it to around a 1/1.5 yr age difference. (the mathtematical explanation is perhaps beyond the scope of this thread).
In other words guys 21.5 and girls 20. This doesn’t need to happen over night nor will it. However we need go GRADUALLY move in that direction of boys starting slightly earlier and girls slightly later. Is that asking SO much?
You write:
“I personally think people should date the right people, not the right age.”
ABSOLUTELY. However many people don’t even consider girls that are their own age simply because the girl isn’t 19. Let’s try to encourage boys to realize that perhaps the right girls is his own age. NOW that’s radical!
