A growing number of women are using social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to reflect on their past decisions to marry at a young age. Through personal stories, many are now cautioning others about the realities of early marriage.
Some women shared how they got married in their early twenties but later divorced before turning 30. They say personal growth and self-discovery played a big role in changing their outlook.
One woman wrote, “I got married at 23 and I’m no longer married. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially when there’s a big age gap between partners.”
She added, “At 23, I thought I had life figured out. Now at 27, I realize I was just beginning to understand myself.”
Another woman echoed similar views:
“Married at 22, divorced by 28. I used to support early marriage, but not anymore. People change, and it’s better to grow on your own without the added pressure of being someone’s wife.”
Rethinking Early Marriages
These honest conversations have sparked more discussions on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where others are also advising young women to take their time before settling down.
Many say that marrying before fully understanding yourself, your goals, and your emotional needs can lead to regret and unhappiness later.
Encouraging Self-Discovery First
While early marriage was once considered ideal by many, today’s generation is highlighting the value of self-awareness and maturity before making such a lifelong commitment. By sharing their stories, these women hope others will learn from their experiences and make informed decisions about marriage
