Comparison Of Different Views On Young Relationships

Improved Essays
My views on young relationships are a polar opposite to my views on friendships. I see that too often, far too often we cling to someone who isn’t good for us just because they offer the occasional comfort. We are scared that we won’t ever be able to find someone like the person we are currently into. But truth be told there will be and we need to find someone who is really right for us, not simply convenient at the time.

    The Right Age To Marry Is More Important Than You Think In an analysis conducted by The University of Utah sociologist , Nicholas Wolfinger, discovers that marrying both at a young age or too late could spell disaster for your love life because it increases your chances of divorce.
