Coming from a relationship where my wife first married at 19, it was hard for her. It truly is a better idea to get set with college and job before thinking about marriage. If it's the real thing, he'll wait for marriage. If it you that wants marriage, ask yourself why. Is is because you love him and want to ve together forever, then that will wait if it's true. Is it because you think you will loose him if you don't marry, then that isn't the ideal reason to marry.

NO, it is not wrong, it just may be hard. My parents were also married at 17 and still together. If you do get married I wish you luck. I got married at 20.. and a year later were still making it - its dificult though. Make sure that you know the person. Is this your high school sweetheart? Do not rush into something just because you want it to work. Be prepared for difficult times. At 17 you are still coming into who you are going to be. Its hard to do that with someone else who is also changing. At the end you guys may come to realize that your adult personalities do not go well with each other, however, by law you will be stuck together. I suggest you stay with that person, or even date around a little, figure out what youare going to do and give your self time to mature, as well as him, and then get married. Possibly wait two more years if possible. See how that goes. If you do decide to get married - remember, its much different than dating someone or even living with someone. Marriage is the most difficult thing I've had to do yet in my life. Remember also, divorces aren't easy or cheap. Good luck.

Wait at least one more year if you area girl. I got married when I was 18. I thought I was all grown up and if I had married someone as mature as myself it would have been okay, but I married a 21 year old who all these years later is still not grown up, still doesn't know what he wants to do when he grows up. Basically, he is still very immature and selfish. So it isn't just you that is marrying. You are marrying another individual and how mature is he?

My bestfriend got married at the age of 16 and her husband was 22. They are still together and have a 5 year old daughter. They had marital problems just like everyone else. But here it is 7 years later and they are very much still in love. So I say go for it. If he loves you and you love him, then who are we to tell you not to. Stop trying to make everyone else happy. But you still need to attend college, I think. In today's society it takes 2 sources of income to sustain a home. But good luck, with whatever you decide.

Its like this, what is good for some is not always good for another.Your parents are i am sure one of the lucky couples as 17yrs is quite along time to want to spend the rest of your life with someone. I think before you decide the best thing you could do is if you haven't already you may want to think about moving in with each other to see how you would get on as a live in couple. It is very different to actually live with someone then just going out with them! Good luck to you both!

Times are different than when your parents got married. 17 is way too young. You havent experienced anything that life has to offer. Whats the urgent need to get married now? Get jobs, get your lives together, get an education, then you can get married.

You need to concentrate on schooling - you seem rather illiterate - unless English is not your first language, in which case, I apologize.
Focusing on education, spelling, grammar, diction should be a 17-year old's priority, NOT whether to get married or not - and it should especially be yours.
Marriage takes work and discipline, and daily requires good judgment, intelligence and proper-priority setting.
Focus on school now, and hopefully you will develop these qualities and more, and will one day be prepared to get married.
You are NOT READY now.

If you have nothing better to do with your life, like going to college or taking a course, then by all means get married.
