Is there such a thing as getting married too soon?

Question

I wanted to know other peoples opinions on what age they got married at and if they regreted doing it? What's your thoughts?

Answer 1

wait as long as you can, run ***** run

Answer 2

I got married at 20 and had two children and a 16 year marriage. We married after six weeks of having met. The problem was two fold: we didn't know each other very well, and we didn't know ourselves very well. I don't regret having married him, because we have two wonderful kids and the relationship taught me a lot. However, it was painful in many ways, and we probably should have split up years sooner than we did. If I can offer advice here, it's "WAIT." Learn who you are first, then learn who the other person is, and then and only then think about marriage. But remember, it will always take commitment and effort to make it work!

Answer 3

ok the first time i got married i was only 18. do i regret it, sometimes, but at the same times, sometimes I dont. We did have some good times, and we did love each other. It just turned out we werent really meant for each other. I use it as a learning experience. This time I got married at 24. We have been married for 19 months. I dont regret it, and we are very calm with each other, because we both have been married before, and we have both learned from our first marriages, and know how to work out our problems.

Answer 4

I was 24 whenI got married. We planed for our 2 year aneversary of when we meet. I thjink I should of waited a little longer before making such an commitment. Yes there defantly is a such thing as marrieing too soon.

Answer 5

This probably won't help you -- BUT

I have 2 friends - one got married at 19 and they're still together (6years)

The other got married at 23 and was divorced after 2 years.

So I don't think age plays much of a factor! Mutual love and respect is what makes a relationship last!

Hope that helps a little!

Aloha!

Answer 6

Absolutely, you can get married too young. I got married at 19 and regret it bigtime. I think of all the years I wasted. I could have had a college degree, saved myself alot of anger and fighting, and really learned who I was before comitting myself to someone in marriage. I finally got to do that when I wa 45...and it was a great experience.

Answer 7

I had a trail of loser men in my life until my mid 20s. I got into a relationship with an OK guy who I was planning a wedding with, but we eventuially broke up. I met my husband when I was 33. We got maried a year later. No regrets. His mom and his sister were the only people telling us it was too soon.

Answer 8

I got married at 19 and divorced by 24. Looking back now I wish i would have waited and not got married.

Answer 9

I love my husband and he loves me everything is great. About a year in a half ago i regreted it but everything is good now. i hope you find your answer.

Answer 10

I GOT MARRIED AT 21 and no i don't regret it
my in laws were married at 21
and my parents got to gather when she was 15 and they have been together every since

Answer 11

I agree with Nick. What you want at 20 is not what you want at 30 or 35.

You don't have to wait to be 30 to be married, but wait until you know yourself and understand what you want in life and your partner.

Good Luck!!
