MARRIAGE IN COLLEGE
[Brittni Ward]
(Shots 1-2) The American Council on Education
reports that nearly 77% of all undergraduate students
are single.
(Shot 3) The remaining 23% are married. But is there really a
difference between the two?
(Shot 4-5) Think of it this way. Imagine your regular to-do list for
school. You’ve got your homework, group projects,
tests, and social life to worry about.
(Shots 5-9) Now add a wedding, an added to-do list, family taxes,
and don’t forget the monthly budgeting. So with all the
added stress, why not just wait to get married?

(shot 10) WE JUST DIDN’T REALLY FEEL
LIKE….THERE’S REALLY NO REASON

(Shots 11) After classes are done the typical college student finds
himself hanging out with friends, sometimes enjoying a
party or two. Our nights are a little quieter.

(Shot 12) WE DON’T PARTY….CLEAN THE
APARTMENT PARTIES

(Shots 13-17) Since finding time for each other is one of the main
challenges married, or soon to be married, students
face our relaxed evenings are important. We try to
cook together every night and then we share our days
over a meal. Even doing mundane tasks together like
dishes is important so that we’re able give our
relationship the attention it needs.
But what about school? Where does that fit in?

EITHER ONE SUFFER

(Shot 19) I WORK UNTIL 6…..SPEND TIME WITH HER

(Shots 20-21) Some experts say that married students actually do
better in college than unmarried students. Unmarried
students are typically more likely to be indecisive,
changing their majors several times before settling on
one direction.

(Shot 22) I THINK THE DIFFERENCE IS….MOSTLY EACH
OTHER

(Shot 23) Marriage in college isn’t for everyone. There’s a lot of
stress involved. However, for some it works – for better
or worse.
