Is it foolish to think about marriage at 18 years of age if you are really in love with the person?

Answer 1

Yes marriage at 18 is a waste. You have so much life to live not to mention as you get older your needs and wants will change drastically. Keep dating this great woman. If it is meant to be then you will still be together in 5 years. Then you can marry.

Answer 2

At 18 your brain is still being rewired to prepare you to think like an adult. As a result you have very passionate feelings running through you. So are you really in love? I'm sure you think you are. So is it foolish to think about wanting to marry someone? Well that all depends. There are so many factors to consider before getting married. Maybe you should consider college or getting a job first.

I personally think that if you both love each other, you should wait until after your brain is done being rewired. You'll be able to think a little more rationally than you can now. That would be sometime after 23 - 25. Good luck!

Answer 3

Not foolish to think about it, but it might be a bit foolish if you act on it. If it is meant to be, it won't hurt to wait a couple years. If you still feel strongly after a few years, then you can be sure it is for real.

If you're 18, then waiting a couple years should not be a big deal since you are still young. Bottom line: don't rush into things like marriage unless you are absolutely sure. And you can only be sure of love if it lasts for a while.

Answer 4

People said my husband and I were too young to marry at age 22. Looking back, yes, we were on the young side. Regrets? None. But at age 18, many things would have been very hard. Plus, at age 18, the man I was madly in love with and 'could never live without', is NOT the man I married (even though we had dated for about 3 years by then). At 18, I was still too young and had I made a committment to marrying my then man, I never would have gotten together with my husband, who is truly the man I was meant to be with. Much can change in a few years. Give yourself a bit more time.

Answer 5

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are not the same person you will be in 10 years. Neither is he? she?

Here's a scientific fact--our brains do not stop maturing until around the age 24-25. That's a fact.

Plus, if you're really, I mean REALLY, in love with the person, won't that love last for at least another 4 years or so until you grow up a little? If you think you need to get married right away because you're in love, then that might mean you're not sure it'll wait another few years. And that's not true love.

Answer 6

It's a serious decision. I felt like that at 18. I'm still with my highschool sweet heart (5 years all up). We're 21 now, we're older, wiser etc. And boy we're glad we didn't do anything...

Go out and enjoy each other. If he's the same age as you, he hasn't finished maturing yet. Neither have you. You haven't had time yet to go out and see the world.

Although, if you believe you and him will still live lives just as fulfilling as if you weren't married, and you'll be happy, then why not? I know of 4 couples out of 60 students at my highschool are now married. Others have kids. ...

I guess getting married is better, because it's only you two. Just if you have kids, that can get messy. All the best!

Answer 7

Any adult woman will tell you, please don't do that. You owe it to yourself to make 100% certain that you can always take care of yourself before you begin taking care of anyone else. I got pregnant and married at 18 and I am now 53. I can't tell you my regrets. Once my husband left me and I had no means of support for 2 kids. I went back to school, got a good job and have been independent for the past 23 years. We're still married but it sure was hard. And remember that every other marriage ends in divorce.

Answer 8

I think getting married young is right, having all your children when you are young is really right. By the time you are 40, your children are grown and you and your spouse can do what ever you like. Marriage at any age is iffy, it only works if you are both willing to work on it. Be informed read a lot about relationships, about marriage and about parenting if you want children. Life is sometimes really short. We are not promised another moment.

Answer 9

Very. At 18 you should be at the U or college.

Maybe at 25 you can think about marriage.

Answer 10

yes, it seems foolish to be married in age of 18years or so cause there are lot of thing you have to do before marriage like making your Carrier. 18 is the first stage of young age, if some body married in this age he can't enjoy his life anymore. you know somebody should be sincere to his wife after marriage.
