patriarchy redux?

[Max Sawicky]

The article I saw said the fundies were encouraging
young couples to marry.  Seems plausible that the
earlier you decide, the worse your choice will be.
Imagine marrying the first person you had sex with.
What a riot that would be . . .

Actually, I wonder if that derives from earlier marriages in such states or
just the propensity to marry rather than live together?  In more secular
states, people may live together more often at earlier ages and therefore
avoid formal divorces.  In more secular states, they may be more likely to
marry only when they are pretty sure it is going to work out in the longer
term.
