And do you regret it it? Are you still married. MANY MANY women I know that got married that early said they wish they hadn't cause they never got to really "experience" anyone else. And they never got a good chance at seeing life from a being single point of view. Any thoughts?

I am not 18 and I have no future plans of getting married. I just ask this question because it seems most married women I sleep with got married at that age.

I married my husband at age 18 (because we had a 3 month old son together). We have been married nearly 13 years. We now have 4 beautiful children together and I love him very much.
However, if I had it to do all over again.... I would have waited. I know in my heart that I married him because that "was the right thing to do". And like I said, I have grown into love with him, but there are days that I do feel like I let the whole world pass me by.
Don't get me wrong - I finished school, finished college, have a great job - a nice home and nice things in my home, but there are days when I feel like we both take each other for granted and those are the days when I wish I would have experienced a little more before I got married.

i got married at 18, had my son at 19 and my daughter with disabilities at 20. its been 19 years now! ohhhh, but it has not been easy, by no means. if you'd of asked me this a year ago or before that, i'd of said that i regret some things. but in the last year, things have gotten to their worst and now to their best. for the first time in 19 yrs. both he and i are working. it took a looooonnnnnggggg hhhhaaaarrrrddddd rrrroooaaaadddddd to get here, BUT we are here, and our kids are happy and getting to live life like they should. one thing that did keep us together thru alllllllll of the BS, was the fact that we entered into marriage to be married, not entering into an arrangement that's legal, and thinking if it doesn't work out we'll/I'll just get a divorce. if u think that way don't get married that will save you a lot of time and money and embarrassment. you could just breakup with someone and that be that. don't do things to do them halfa##, if you are going to do anything do it right and it'll only take doing it once. not over and over again, do overs have more mistakes. its a fact.

I got married 2 weeks after i turned 18, he was 19 , we were high school sweet hearts..that dated 2 years prior to getting married.. He went into the navy and we had 2 boys.. although i was only 18 i loved him with all my heart and knew exactly what i was getting into, and was very committed to him and had what it took to stay married to him for the rest of my life.. unfortunately he didnt.. when i was 22, he left us for a woman he worked with.. he told the judge when we got the divorce that he got married to young and because we have a child with a chronic life threatening illness that he couldnt handle the stress of it all.. So by age 23 we were divorced.. he's now on his 3rd marriage he's 33 .. I dont regret marrying him, because i got 2 precious gifts out of it.. my sons and i wouldnt trade them for the world.. i do wish we had waited to get married, i think that would of made a world of difference if we had been older..

My first marriage I was 18 lasted 7 years we were high school sweethearts for 3 years..I didnt socialize much at that age. After I got divorced because both were inmature we had good jobs though...Actually I'm 38 and divorced with two kids...If I could turn back time I would still be married with my first husband...but at an older age....Soo I guess that the majority agrees that WEE didn't get to REALLY LIVE OUR LIVES>>>>>>Good Luck

I got married to my kids dad at 18 and I regretted it like hell it seemed once I said I do all things changed for the worse! It ended up in divorce after he put a butcher knife through my skull b/c I wanted one. Needless to say I'm doing good now I'm 35 and I am about to get remarried to a hell of a good guy! My ex is still somewhere crazy as hell but if youregret the marriage and find you are unhappy don't stay.
You need to do what makes you happy b/c you'll remain miserable and blame him for it in which you'll grow tohate him so it's bestto part as friends!

Got married at 19 ......now I am 33.......the marriage lasted 4 years...........I do not recommend it. Most women are a COMPLETELY different creature by the time they reach 30............girls, live, experience, and grow...take some precious years for yourself......you will be giving ALL OF YOURSELF once you are married and have children...believe me on this.

got married at 19 and was divorced a few years later. i don't think it is the rule that if you get married younge you will end up divorced. think it depends on the couple. if you are considering marriage and asking this question, then maybe you aren't ready yet. but waiting a couple of years to get married wouldn't hurt.

Marriage at 18 or 19 is legal. What makes you exciting.
