Alicia raised two daughters solo during the past 14 years.  She sees getting married very young as a factor in becoming a solo mom. Age seems to be a running theme for a number of divorced solo moms.

What can be done about young people getting married early?  Would marriage education -- and not just a few hours of counseling -- increase the likelihood that more marriages would last?

Whatever our experiences, we can still move on to become strong, confident women, who are whole.
