I've heard many of your horror stories about awful seminary teachers and stuff they've said.

I'm reminded of the time I randomly ran into my seminary teacher at a wedding reception some 6 years post high school.

I was recently engaged and just about to graduate undergrad.

He kind of stopped after I told him I was graduating and said "you know what. I think the timing for you is perfect. You won't have to worry about paying for school, working, and getting to know your wife. It's not bad to get married early, but I think your way is just great"

The Church is made up of all types and personalities and often times we let the personality and the culture influence things that end up appearing as though they were nearly doctrine.

I've started to think marriage is one of those "cultural" things rather than doctrinal.

And I don't mean "don't get married"

I just mean... I see no problem with people choosing to not get married until they are older.

But it kind of feels like the guidance is to marry early. But that seems to be cultural
