Getting Married At 18
2017-01-09 06:42:50 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
I had just turned 20 when I got married. Now I am in my 50s and things are very different. There may be happy times ahead, We may just be in a not so happy spot, but I can t help wondering if this could have been avoided if I had not been in such a big hurry to get married. I wanted to be married and be on my own, but I think I rushed it a little. Maybe I would have been in a better spot to get married if I had waited a few years and finished college.

i'm 32. All my acquaintances who were given married earlier they were 25! are divorced (except for one). i have not in any respect been married, yet i had to be even as i become 20. i'm so happy that we did not because it would have led to divorce. i become 27 earlier i realized that i become finally at a factor the position i become waiting to have a existence with someone invariably in it. It hit me like a ton of bricks. i do not understand if that befell for all of us, yet i wager what i'm attempting to assert is that all of us remains replacing and determining existence at 18. At 21. At 31!!! certain, 18 is slightly youthful. No rush.

I got married at 18 and just celebrated our 6 year last july. Dont let people make the choice for you. My husband and I cldnt b happier. If you feel you want to enjoy your 20s together, which is possible. It doesnt matter if u marry at 18 or 35 its not easy and will take teamwork. DO NOT let other people discourage you if u feel you and your other half are ready.

WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! I was married at 18. I can tell you that you will change dramatically in the next few years. What you think is right now, may not be so right a few years from now. I know that can be true for everyone, but it is especislly true when you are young. If he is pressuring you, that is a sure sign this is not the right guy. You sound mature, so let your head speak as well as your heart.

yes i think it is too young. your just getting out of high school and you have your 20's to go through. what about college? its not going to be very much fun being married and watching your single friends go out and you can't because hubby doesn't want you to. are you ready for tiny sacrifices you will have to make being married? stay single put your butt in school, enjoy your 20's. there is so much in this world that you have to experience and your willing to throw that away. If your bf loves you he will wait. Honey you are so young and your life has just begun!! Go live and experience the world you won't regret it.

I think you might want to experience life as a single adult for a little first. You can change a lot in your 20's and throughout life. Make sure you both know what each other wants out of life as a couple and as a person first.

It is definitely too young. You haven't even learned to work the shift key, yet.
Kiddo, you have your whole life to be married, but only the next six or eight years to be young, adult, on your own and free. Once you are married, you will have other responsibilities to deal with.
Be young, be foolish, be happy!
Dang, that's a pretty good lyric, ain't it?

Yes, it is really too young. You should date for a couple of years and take a little time to grow up. at 18 you will have expectations about life and marriage that are not in concert with reality and that will strain your marriage when the love is waining. you dig?

I really do think that it's too young. You haven't had a chance to live your life or experience things. I thought I was ready at 18, I am so glad that I didn't. I've learned so much more since then.
