I think Josie (and Carlin) wants marriage NOW! because she just wants to start her life, make her own decisions and get the hell out of that house. Most 19 year olds aren’t thinking about a wedding, but they are excited about becoming independent. Most gain this independence by going away to college or getting an apartment with friends. Technically Josie could also do this, but Kelly would probably have a heart attack and Gil would probably disown her. So unfortunately, marriage is the only way out. What these girls seem to not realize is that they’re going from one headship to another. In the beginning I’m sure it’ll be great. After a while I think they may start to realize there actually were other ways out. They just needed the guts to try one.
