That's a very mature and wise way to be and I agree with her. Until she feels completely ready and knows it is definitely the right thing to do, then she shouldn't just marry for the sake of marrying.
My parents split up when I was 10. It was a very tough marraige and also a very tough split on everyone. It has left lasting impacts but fortunately, I know marraiges do work and so my own experience with my parents didn't tarnish my feelings on marraige. Though I do believe it made more appreciative of the idea and more cautious about making that step myself.
I think Jewel's parental experiences were very different to mine though.
