Unfortunately, many of my friends & classmates who got married right after college (i.e. followed that plan) are divorced. Granted, others are also still happily married, which is great! However, looking back (I'm 31, to give you a reference for how long some of those marriages didn't last.) I know I changed and grew tremendously right after college. Today, I'd pick a different person to marry than the types I was considering at 21 or 22. (Not that I was partying away college, I would have been happy to get married right out of school - that didn't work out and I know that was a good thing!
