"Although not all dating behavior is problematic, researchers say that some results of those who date at age 13 or 14 with a single partner are more likely to have problems than more casual romantic interactions in a group setting."

That only confirms that Joe Smith and Brigham Young and others were wrong to marry girls that age.

By the way the wording on that quote is problematic. "more likely to have problems" What does that mean? Problems with what? Problems with relationships?

Well isn't it obvious that someone who actually has a relationship is going to be more likely to have a relationship problem than someone who is not?

The same thing could be said about Men who are dating at age 45. This just in...researchers report that men who are dating at age 43-45 with a single partner are more likely to have problems than their peers who are only having more casual romantic interactions in group settings. Duh...you think?

You can say the same for Joseph Smith. He had many casual romantic interactions in group settings with not only teenagers but grown married women.

Like Mormon prophets are prophetic when it comes to romantic relationship advice.
