So if 18-19 year old shark in skirt is too young to be in a committed relationship with her childhood sweetheart (which if she were to end up with him would be a Lifetime movie) Then shouldn't we be telling these women that want to get married at 20-21-22 to run away?

Here I go...I personally would NEVER ooh and ahhh over a candle pass for a 21 year old. IMHO, that is FAR too young to be getting engaged. Maybe I'm not the typical female, but I can't imagine why a woman in her early twenties would even be THINKING about getting married. When I was that age, I never did.
I'm a firm believer in having fun and being chill about things when you're young, because the college years are a time of self-discovery and if you're in a serious relationship that lasts for a long time, I think that your ability to grow as a strong, independent woman is at least somewhat hampered.
I just can't help but think that those who end up married to the people they started dating in high school are, someday down the road, going to feel frustrated. Of course, this isn't true for everybody, but I think that many of us need to run wild at least a little to get it out of our systems. Otherwise, for women in particular, I think the urge will hit them when they're a little older -- although I'm sure the same is true for guys.
