Hi Mr. me,
Welcome to Babble. I'm not sure what your buddy was getting at, and of course everyone has different opinions on this, but I think to be married and to have a child at 20 years old would be very difficult, indeed. I know I did a lot of growing and changing in my early twenties, not growing up per se, but just growing. I think that is an important time in someone's life. I am a big advocate of not getting married until mid twenties or later. But that's just me. Lots of folks do get married earlier and do just fine. I suppose if you were in love with someone and were sure you wanted to marry, then being married at 20 would be okay. But it seems awfully young to me.Perhaps if your friend married that young, he feels that he's "all grown up" and wants other to be, too. Responsibilities and priorities definitely change with marriage, and even more so with a child. So maybe he's coming at it with a different perspective.
At any rate, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Twenty is a time to be young. There's plenty of time for those milestones.
Again welcome!
