So many people think you have to be way into your twentys and that is just so wrong. It depends more on where you are as a person and if your mature enough. I know you will probably say that people are too immature for marriage but not everybodys like that...trust me. I believe that the only reason people have got this idea into their head about getting married late is because of careers and women focusing on careers. And because people haven't been taught what commitment means. Have any comments?

I totally agree with you. I guess you could say that most people categorize all teens in saying that they are immature. And in a way they are right, most teens are immature, and are not ready for a real commitment, I mean I am 19 and my friend got married last year, her husband now is waiting for her to come back to him bc she left him and is fooling around with a bunch of other people. I guess you can put the blame on people like that, or then there is society.but thats a whole other story. I guess what I am trying to say is that if you want to mature you can, not all teens are immature. And I am glad that you have found your soulmate. Don't listen to what others think, because they will be the ones jealous in the end.
Take Care, and Congrats

let me start by saying that you have a very good point,..everyone is different. I think it has more to do with maturity than age also, but as fan 1906 already said, you do learn and mature more everyday. the little things that you don't really notice until years later when you look back at it. I got married at 17 and divorced at 20, that don't mean you would be the same. I have known many couples that got married very young and are still together today. If you think it's time, then only you can make that choice when it comes time. good luck

Well if you're too young when you get married then you most likely will not be very mature. Also it's good if you have gone and done stuff, experienced life out of your parents house, traveled (seen the world a bit) before you make the committment in marriage and become tied down. You'll be a well rounded person if you do this and won't wish that you had done things differently. Being an adult is over-rated, so enjoy the time before you are stuck in lots of responsibilities....and many will appear instantly when you're married.

Age is just that age. But in today's society I think regardless of age one should wait until at least after graduating K-12th. Then after 18 or legal parental consent if it's true love go for it. But caution the younger you are the more illprepared you are. Take time to grow up and enjoy life and maybe in a few years at 22 you'll be more then ready for mr. right and marriage. Good luck girl.

i feel you girl.. i am 19... and if i think that i am ready then who is anyone else to stop me? they got married a LOT younger than that back in the day.. but everyone loves the opportunity to give advice, especially where they feel that they have experience.. and it is statistically true that marriages that start with people under the age of 25 end 40% more often in divorce... so... you just have to be sure that it is right and that you are married? what is the hurry anyways right? will waiting change things?? if it is REAL it wont.... but rushing into things WILL change everything... but if u are sure.. then u go for it girl.... just make sure it is right cuz u dont want to regret it and have them all be right... true love will wait.... if it has to.... gl... tc

You know what it so funny about getting older is that every single day you actually notice that you learn more about yourself than you ever did and yet you always think that you are right and so sure of yourself at all times, I was 100% positive about things in my life when I was 18 and now that I am 21 (just a mere 3 years later) I now notice that I have changed so much since

honey trust me ppl use to say the samething to me and my husband. I just turned 24 and him 23 we have a 3 yr old son and have been married for 2yrs this past Monday.....but i think the reason the older ppl say stuff like that is because of all the broken marriages these days.....its almost like everyone is getting married for something to do and they forget its not all fun and games.......its a lot of hard work but so worth it.

It's true that there is no set age to marry, but if we look at divorce statistics we see that the largest amount of divorces occur between the ages of 18 and 24........Not saying that YOU would be a statistic, you may be totally different.......

Marriage doesn't have to be at any specific age. It also doesn't interfere with careers.. I think that's parenthood you're thinking of, and you can be married for YEARS before you even consider children.
