Renting for a little while is always an option. Buying a house is a great investment, but it can also be a huge burden on your marriage. I would not recommend that any newly married couple buy a house in their first year of marriage." Tim, did you read my conclusion?

It was merely stating that right now, you need AT LEAST a 3% down payment if you want to even consider buying a house. FHA requires at least 3% down, and NO ONE is handing out 100% financing loans anymore. I hope that clarifies my tone for the article. Bill,

My wife and I lived an apartment after we got married, lots of people do.

A house isn't the end all, determine if you can actually afford a house first, if not, then rent. There is no shame in rentin, and owning a house does not somehow make you complete nor is it part of the American dream. The first points in the newlyweds guide to buying a house should be:
