Yes, I don't think at 18 you really know what you want in life. I feel that at 18 you're still searching for who you are and who you want to become. There is so much more of the world to explore before settling down. I'm not saying that you should break up with who you're with now. I'm just saying it's more important to enjoy life, while you're still young.

It depends really. But think why u want to get Married First. I Rather wait 5-6 years after being with the same person first. I was with my ex that long we got engaged then i found out he cheated on me that was when i was 23. But As I said think about why u want to get married first. I have negative issues with marriage. But I Know not all guys are the same. So Good luck with what ever u decide.

i think so. i think it's okay to be engaged at 18, but you should wait at least like 3 years to get married. just be sure, because 17-21 is usually a huge transitional period in people's lives...leaving high school, entering college, tech school, the workforce, armed services, etc, and you're kind of on your own for the first time. you shouldn't make any rash decisions. I'd say engagement, a true, serious commitment to each other, is good for now.
P.S. my parents got married at 18, and had me at 20. they got divorced...i dont even know when..21 or 22 (i never remember them having been married)..i dont really care, it doesn't bother me, i'm just saying, be really sure and really mature when you make that decision.
best of luck

I think 18 is way to young to get married.....I think people shouldn't get married until they've finished college.....lived alone.....saved some money....traveled a bit....and learned about themselves. Marriage is a lot easier if you're all grown up.
I think there should be a law that you can't get married until after you're 26 years old.

Yes. But one never knows.
The important thing to inquire about is the state of your self-esteem. You need to learn what that term means and how to measure it.
If your partner is interested in you for all the right reasons, and builds your self-esteem continuously, then perhaps it's ok. But if you are making sacrifices, neglecting plans, neglecting your health and personal development for the sake of the relationship, then think twice, Think three times.
I've linked into some interesting resources which are easy to read and will get you thiniking the proper way so that you can make your own decisions.

no, not at all, usually if people marry younger, the marriage lasts longer. My parents got married at 18, and are now 49 and still together.

Way too young.
You will be missing out on a lot of things in life and you can always get married later.

Not legally. Mentally, yeah, probably.
You should grow up first, even if you feel all grown up. Get out there and drink and party and go out with friends and stuff. Find who you are so you don't resent being married.
