I got married at 19 to a guy I only dated for 8 months. We dated before for like 1 month and had to split up but we found our way back. As for your question...no...I wouldnt say yes because if you need to ask this question then you arent ready. When there is no doubt in your mind then you know its time.

Nope--you couldn't even pay me to get engaged or married at 19. In the next few years, you are going to grow and change. Hopefully your boyfriend will still be there, but you both need to grow and mature as well.
At 19, you may think that you REALLY love him, but you're also in college. You need to experience college life, and you don't need to be married to do that. My advice: wait until you out of college and have a job. If you really want, get engaged at 19 and have a long engagement. I don't care. Just don't make any wedding plans until college is over.
Waiting won't kill either of you; marriage is difficult, and I don't see why anyone would want to start such a difficult task while in school. Chances are you'll drop school if you get married since finances will be limited in the first years.

It doesn't really matter what any of us would say, this is the issue...
You grow so much as a person between the ages of 19 and 25. When I was a teen I loved things that repulse me now (loaded cheese fries for one). If this is the love that is meant for life then time will tell and it's not going anywhere with or without a wedding vow. That piece of paper complicates things beyond measure. Legal things and ownership issues.
Become who you are before you say "I do" if you feel as though he is really the one think of a very, very long engagement. Nothing wrong with belonging to eachother for years without a wedding and you will be sure about who you have picked.

I would - and I did - engaged at 19, and married at 20 - that was 18 years of happy marriage ago - still going stronger than ever today. Follow your heart, but let your brain do the planning :)

NO!! You change soo much between the ages of 19 and 25, even if you are mature and smart you will want the freedom in the next five or six years. Stay bf/gf until you are older and have lived life a little. (P.S. If you are reading this and thinking to yourself "I HAVE lived life" then you are too immature to get married.)

At the age of 53, I would say no, because you have your whole life ahead of you and you are limiting yourself to this person and this one experience.
At the age of 19 I probably would have gotten engaged. Actually I did, and lived to regret it.

If you can't answer this question yourself, then no, you are not ready to marry this person. It does not matter how old you are or how long you've dated/known each other. When you love someone, you just know it. You know when it's right and if you are doubting yourself, then don't get married yet.

i said yes when i was 19 and dated my guy for 2 months and really loved him. if you think your ready to get married and you love your guy then go for it. but if you're having doubts then you probably aren't ready to get married

Yes, if you're absolutely sure you really, really love him and you want marriage. It's a big step. Think carefully. Good luck.
