Actors Millie Bobby Brown, 20, and Jake Bongiovi, 22, tied the knot late last month, riling up left-wing keyboard warriors who argued that the couple was too young to get married. This anger is misplaced, as society would benefit from many more people choosing to wed in their early to mid-20s.

The median age of marriage has risen considerably over the past half-century, with women now more likely to get married in their late 20s and men in their early 30s. This is an unfortunate trend for numerous reasons, from incentivizing bad decisions to creating a social taboo around marrying at a relatively young age.
