It seemed to be more of a competition amongst the girls to get a ring and no one else. How silly. A lot of my friends daughters are now waiting until their late twenties to marry, after they've been out in the real world, which seems to make more sense.
On the other hand, I waited until after the first year of law school to get hitched to my now wife who I had been seeing at that point for 5-6 years and we've been married 7 years since then and are just fine.

Different strokes/different folks... and a 1/2 success rate for marriage in this day and age doesn't sound too bad. In fact, as a divorce attorney, I am very happy with that statistic.
