Before you take the loooong walk down the aisle, make sure you are mature enough to make that commitment for better or for worse! Miley and Liam have been getting cold feet for years. Now, and before you warm up to the idea of getting hitched, hear matchmaker and relationship expert, Susan Trombetti’s reasons why you may want to say “I don’t” until you are older.
Top 5 Reasons Why Not to Get Married So Young:
1. Money Matrimony Mess
Unless you have a decent savings account, think twice before you book that chapel. Money is the number one reason couples divorce, so take some time to allow yourself and your hedge fund to mature. It is sad to say, but financial stability usually leads to marriage stability. No money, no fun.

2. Room For Growth
Don’t go straight from living in a room in your parent’s house to sharing a space with your spouse. Learn to live alone! Learn to live independently first before you wind up dependent on someone else.
3. Love Yourself Before You Love Someone Else
Get to know yourself. You may not reach your full potential as a person if you have obligations to a spouse and a family. Live your life. You need to get out there, let your hair down, have fun and experience the world. There is a greater chance you will change as a person and your priorities will change if you and your partner don’t change together… this spells a relationship disaster!
4. ‘Till Death Do You Part With Your Problems
Remember, marriage is supposed to be a lifelong commitment. Yes, there are the good times, but with those times do come some bad patches. If you marry someone too young you may not have the maturity to handle such a serious commitment and navigate the pitfalls.

5. Stop In The Name Of Love Before You Become A Statistic
Unless you want to end up like Kim & Kris in a 72 day divorce debacle… think twice and then a third time before you say “I DO”. Bottom line, divorce rates are higher among younger couples… and no one wants to end up on the receiving end of a Taylor Swift song.
