Good Morning Brothers,

I am a senior enlisted member in the Unites States Marine Corps. I’ve been GMOW for about 4 years after my divorce, I discovered this Reddit about 3-4 months ago and relate to a lot of what y’all are saying. It definitely reassured me that I’ve been going on the right path, and that everything wasn’t my fault and is a deeper issue that cannot be resolved so easily.

I’ve been preaching to my younger Marines, both male and female that Marriage is not worth it. Marriage in the military has a ridiculously high Divorce rate since most marry young, I have two Marines that want to get married. One in particular is 22 years old, has been seeing this girl for a year (19) and she has two kids. He doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation. How can you convince him that it is not a good idea to take on such a burden so soon?
