Don't listen to the marriage cynics

When I wrote about my wedding in last week's post, several readers left comments on the Deseret News Web site decrying my naivete and predicting certain disaster for my marriage.

"One can't help but wonder if maybe you married too young," someone wrote.

"Every social scientist will tell you that in study after study people who marry younger have a much higher incidence of divorce," wrote another.

One reader even went so far as to publicly discourage any potential "copycat weddings" prompted by my marriage (what?) and said I was "setting a bad example."
