Even with that, I'd consider looking at it as participating in a learning experience for the young couple. They had semi-sound reasons for getting married (not wanting the military to separate them), which puts them ahead of a lot of teenagers who get married because they feel guilty about whatever it is they're doing to each other. That means that when the glow wears off, they'll have gotten more out of the legal union than many young couples, at least. Plus, married military members get better housing than single military members.
