is it good to marry at an early age?

Answer 1

If you never plan to have kids...mid 20's is fine.

No one interested in having kids should get married before age 30! People change too much in their 20's and the kids get caught in the middle and society pays for it in the end. More chance of really knowing who YOU are by waiting and also 30+ people are more financially stable for raising kids.

Answer 2

I was married right out of high school. That was 30 years ago. After all these years and many great children, I am still very much in love with her. Still, it was not easy. I had to go to night school for over ten years to get my B.A. We had to go without a lot of things for the sake of the children. If pressed, I would tell you that I have never regretted getting married at 18.

Having said all that, the odds of a early marriage lasting is against you. If it is love, it will last. Get your education and a good job before marrying. A large percentage of fights between married couples is over money problems.

Answer 3

During everyones' lifetime, you encounter and meet many, many people.

If you get married as soon as you can, you may miss opportunities. You'll never have the confidence of knowing what it takes to make it on your own.

After all, you have to find out how to make it on your own before you can make it with anyone else.

Figure out who you are without having to answer to someone else. Be your own boss. You call the shots. Rely on yourself and your judgement.

This is an extremely important step to becoming an adult.

I married as soon as I could when I was 18. I didn't know who I was. I did not realize how much I would change and how much my spouse would either.

I also missed many opportunities to get to know other people that I might have liked to spend my life with.

Forever is a loooooong time. I believe marriage at an early age is a tragedy.

Answer 4

I got married at 21, after being engaged for a year and half. My husband and i have been in a relationship for 6 years, married for 1 year, i think there is nothing wrong with it, if you are 100% sure this is the person you want to spend your life with. I love my husband more than anything, and i know we will be together forever.

Answer 5

Depends on what you consider an early age. In your teenage years, no. I'm not even that much of a fan of in your early 20s. I married in my early 20s thinking that is what I wanted but as we grew up, we grew apart. Lucky for us there were no kids involved.

Answer 6

This depends on the persons involved.Personally no younger than 18.But the involved persons must be willing to learn they are no longer "kids" like their unmarried school friends.
I have a niece who is 14 and she got married about 3 months ago,he is 16 and they are living in a basement apartment at his mothers,he works after school,and she must attend school(this was the judges decision when he performed the ceremony.)

Answer 7

Divorce rates are higher for those whose first marriage is before the age of 27 (women) and 28 (men). Keep this in mind, but know that everyone needs to make this decision for themselves. I met and started dating my husband very young (19) and didn't marry him until I was in my late 20's. I'm glad I experienced everything in my life that I did before we married. But what worked for me won't work for everyone. It's a personal decision.

Answer 8

Are you mature to handle the ups and downs of marrriage? How young are you talking? 18-20.....Yes I got married at 23 and Have been married for 20 years.......it is A LOT of hard work. Not all 20 have been good. But we are god now. It takes both of you to make it work don't go into it thinking if it doesn't work we will get a divorce......work at it to make it work! good Luck!

Answer 9

I married at a young age...but I encourage my children not to....make sure you get your education first, absolutely no children, until you're at least 30..and just enjoy your life and all the avenues that possibly could be available....

Answer 10

I married at a young age. Just make sure that you are completely comfortable with yourself, and know who YOU are, prior to letting someone else into your life permanetly.
