Britney Spears...a lesson learned


How, you ask, does this post possibly relate to teen girls?
Well, this post is really about young marriages. No, I don't mean new marriages. I mean marriages in which one or both partners are just plain YOUNG.
My best friend got married when she was 18; at 19, she's filing for divorce. Not to say that all young marriages work out this way, but it hit me hard and I've been thinking of how easy it is for us to imagine the fairy-tale of our own weddings and believe it is the right time to have them. Chances are, it's not.
Take our old friend Britney, here (see title link). Spears tied the knot at the age of 22 TWICE; first to old pal Jason Alexander and then to Kevin Federline. We all know how both ended, right?
