Too young. You're just getting out on your own, you need plenty of time to grow.
If you get married at 18, changes are by 22 you will be a totally different person, with different likes and dislikes. You won't know what you really like until you've had a chance to see the real world, away from school and parents.

At 18 years old you know your own mind and you know how you feel about things. The problem is that over the next 10 years or so you are going to do a lot more growing up and a lot of things will change in your life, new job, move house etc. With that will bring additional responsibility and sometimes that means that you will grow apart from the person that you are with with at the moment. It doesn't always happen and it is a chance that you take. Why is there the need to get married is it religious believes? If not then why not rent a place together that way you can find out if you are suited and give yourselves time to get to know each other and see if you can grow together. If it doesn't work out then it is easier to go your own way. Dint rush, i know it is hard for an 18 year old to appreciate this but believe me you have plenty of time. Hope this helps

Yes, it is an extremely bad idea. You need to experience life and more people first. I am a totally different person than I was when I was 18.
I am not remotely interested in the boyfriend I had from 18-22. We are just different people now and went different directions in life. I can't imagine having to divorce him at age 22. I now have a new boyfriend who is much better for me. When I was younger, I could never picture myself with anyone else. But I moved out and it turned out great.
My sister met her now husband (of at least 10 years) when she was 18. She married him at 23. They should be divorced; they have nothing in common, and he treats her bad. But she cannot picture her life without him, she is scared to move on. Don't put yourself in that position. It is a sad life.
If you two are meant to be together, and make a good couple, you will still be together in 10 years.

I say, yes 18 is way to young, you need to live and experience things now. I got married when I was 23 and 15 years later I still wished I have waited. Not that I don't love my spouse, but even at 23 I know that I missed out on allot. My advise is to wait and just date for several years and you will know when the time is right.

If you feel you are mature enough and really truly in love and can handle being with only the one person for the rest of your life than why not. My cousin got married at 18 and they are still married for 36 years now. So no it's not bad to get married at age 18.

It's a bad idea because people change so much in their likes and dislikes from the age of 18 to at least 25. Date various guys to see what type of person you want to spend your life with. Judge their qualities like earning a living, being honest, being loving, giving and caring. How they treat you and other people. I added the earning a living because despite what some people might think, one of the big problems in marriages is the lack of money.

my opinion is don't do it!!! i was 22 and thats too young!! you are going to change by the time you are 22 and 26 theres more to you than even you know right know and sooner or later you will change preferences ,attractions and so on so plz dont make the mistake alot of us have in assuming we know what we truly want and it will last forever!! that is only for a very lucky few.Wait until you REALLY know yourself and not just know your self right now!when i was 7 years into my relationship 5 years in marriage and a 6 year old i realized the sight of my husband naked made me cringe and the thought of even kissing him made me sick!yet when i was 19 I thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread!!

Unfortunately, know one but you knows where your heart is. Only you know the way you feel. There can be many ways that it can go getting married so young. But that's the whole purpose of living, so that you can learn. Prayer helps a great deal. Just try to use your best judgment and everything will go accordingly. Good luck..

A bad idea? It is SUICIDE!!! You have so much to learn throughout the next 10 years or so. Make sure your education is finished and/or your career is secure. Date. If you want even the slightest chance at a successful marriage, give yourself the years you need to truely discover who you are.

yes, i think its too soon. you might have found the one but you still have time. you should still be with the person, finish college and start work so at least you still have your independence. and if your still with the person you can get married. you can live with the person for now but dont get married at 18, its too soon. wait until your 22 or something at least.
