should college student marry (give for debate)?

Question

thanks for your answer.

Answer 1

No. College is a place of growth and transition where young men and women gain knowledge and more importantly the start of wisdom to use that knowledge. This goes with a price. The price is change. Making a decision to mate and combine two lives together during a time of transition will normaly lead to dissatisfaction later. The couple are not fully formed as individuals yet with so much more to do and learn. It is inevitable that when a couple like this start out too close they will eventually crowd each other and grow apart. Take as example young trees. Would we plant 2 sapling oak trees close together? Think of the advantages...they are young and weak, so combined they give each other strength to face the winds and rains. But after a few years they grow larger and larger until they are crowded for space and compete for the light. They cannot reach maturity so close together.

Thus it is with most people. And I apply this to any person in transition, who is changing from one thing to another. That is the wrong time to pledge alegiance to another person.

Answer 2

You marry when you feel the time is right. I assume the question is posed as a timing question. If they marry, will they be able to balance both higher education and raising a family?

I knew a couple of people in college who met and married while in college. One of them broke up, but there were more maturity issues at stake before they realized the level of committment that was required.

Still, I feel it is better to graduate college and then focus on the next aspect of your life.

Answer 3

Although the first poster makes some valid points I would still marry if i was a college student. you can't put a time on love. I would wait to start a family though

Answer 4

No. I think everyone should wait til their late 20's at least to get married. You change so much in your early 20's and most people don't change at the same rate. In your early 20's you are still searching for who you will become. You may party alot and do things like that. That's fine, but if you stay like this into your 30's you will not be a good husband/wife.

Answer 5

Why not? As long as it's not affecting their studies. Most college aged people are either married or at the age where they can get married. I think this is a personal question. To each their own.

Answer 6

Why would you want to?
Do you have your own place?
Are you ready to forget about your studies and start working?
Do you really want to give up your freedom?
This is what your life would be like. You'd get up go to school come home tired and then listen to who ever ***** about there not being anything in the fridge and why did you get home an hour late. Then while you are trying to study for finals your partner wants to go out , you say no you cant and they get mad and etc etc etc. Once you are married its not so easy to send them home.

Answer 7

A college student can marry as long as he is allowed under the law such as his age and consent. Nevertheless, education should not be marred by marriage.

Answer 8

If you are truly in love, it won't matter if you get married now or after graduation. However, if you get married now, you might now finish your degrees. You say you will, but what if you have a baby before you do? How will you support yourself and your family?

Finsih your degrees, then get married. True love will wait. Life is a marathon and not a sprint. Pace yourself.

Answer 9

HI,,, i am going to be honest with you... marriage is tough enough... and I suggest to finish college then get married... When I was an undergraduate,, i had a few friends that got married,,, not very many stay there...... its tough......

Hope this helps....
good luck......

Answer 10

I married while I was in college, thinking that my betrothed and I were adults and certainly mature enough. I was wrong. Wait.
