Im 20 years old is that to young to want to get married?

Question

I have been with my boyfriend for about two years and i really love him.

Answer 1

Follow your heart I got married at 17 worked out great just be ready for the un- expected that comes along with it and you will be fine.

Its O.k., because you have unconditional love for him that will last for an eternity.

This should not be wasted.

Answer 2

Nothing wrong with getting married at 20. People used to get married young and their marriages lasted better than the ones today where people get married at 30 and 40. My aunt married at 19 and she is now 81 and has a family of many generations. SHe is a great great grandmother. Marrying young will give you the chance to spend more time with your husband, children, and the next generations.

Answer 3

There's not a thing wrong with that. I married at 19. Turned 20 ten days later. And sadly speaking from experience, just make sure that's what HE wants also. Alright.. My ex-husband was 24 when we married, seven months later he told his dad he was not ready to have settled down and wanted to be single and not have to answer to anyone. I regret not finishing college and loving someone so much then having him tell me it was all a sham, but other than that I loved marriage and miss it dearly. It's a change, a lot of growing up to do. If you're both committed and truly LOVE each other, you shouldn't have a problem. Ultimately it's your own decision. Just be sure it's want you both want and work together through everything! Best wishes to you:)!

Answer 4

It used to be the norm to marry early, but the changing roles of women in the world has altered that. There are a lot of changes that go on mentally during your 20s and they way you feel about things now will probably not be the same as your outlook on them in even a couple of years. This isn't saying that your relationship won't work, just give yourself time to figure out what you want as an adult and to define yourself in the world before committing to marriage. It may save to the cost of a divorce or an unhappy relationship in the future.

Answer 5

I started dating the man I'm married to when I was 16. We got married a little over a month after I turned 18. Two beautiful children and 7 years later I'm still happy and still in love with him. I don't mean to make it sound easy, it hasn't been. We've gone through our fair share of rough patches like any other couple but in my opinion being older doesn't guarantee a happy and long marriage. If you love him and he loves you then go for it. I wish you the best!

Answer 6

I would personally recommend living together for a few years before legal marriage. You do not know a person until you have woke up with them everyday for awhile. I was married at your age, and if I could do it again, I would wait until I was over 25 to make it a legal obligation. All your really doing is signing forms when you get married. You can have a ceremony tomorrow without making it legal and binding. That piece of paper won't make any difference in your love.

Answer 7

I got married when I was 18 (am now 21). I love my wife to death, but a part of me wishes that I had waited a little longer. So no, you're not too young, but you may want to think long and hard about it; are you doing it for the right reasons (love) or for convenience (get to move out of mom and dad's house, etc)?

Answer 8

The problem with getting married at twenty is that you still have not gotten through with schooling. If you have children right away,it will radically change your life. IF you guys are really meant to be together,there is nothing wrong with being engaged for a couple of years.

Answer 9

I think you still need to experience being an adult and seeing the real world. Two years is nothing in the grand scheme of things. College is a huge turning point in life.

Answer 10

It is not too young. I got married at 21.
