what do you think of getting married at 18 years old?

Answer 1

I think that 18 is way too young to get married. It is really hard to know for sure at 18 if you are with someone that you really want to be with the rest of your life. I would suggest waiting a few more years, because with the rate of divorce right now, you are better safe then sorry. Divorce isn't cheap and it can take a long time to process. I also don't think that most people at 18 really know what they want out of life and don't really know what they are going to want and be able to deal with in a lifelong partner. Good luck!

Answer 2

It just depends. My brother and his wife got married at 18 years old and they have been married for 10 years, and still going strong, but they also had their moments. They regret getting married so young but they still love each other and still want to be married they wish they would have done it a little later than earlier. So if you think thats what will be good for you then do it. But you need to realize all the results from getting married so early.

Answer 3

I married at 15 younger than most people. I have now been married to the same person for 11 years. I have to say that it was hard. I had to finish H.S. and then put myself through college. I was glad there was no baby involved, but even at that it was tough. I have two kids now 6 and 2 and I would want them to finish college before committing. However, just because you marry young does not mean you will fail. It will be harder and if you are positive he/she is the one then is up to you. But give yourself the chance of going to college and have that experience before you commit. You will find that you will meet new people and you may not think the same way as you do now. I hope that whatever decision you make is the right one, but take some time to think it through. Good Luck

Answer 5

ouch that might hurt you down the road. to me thats kinda too young. you need to at least live another 2 or 3 years single or dating. but getting married at that age is a little scary.
but, then again if you two love eachother so much go ahead.
think about it first. you two will become one. and you will have a lot of bills to pay and things to do and that could be overwelming.
but, again, if you love eachother then go for it.
no reason to waste you live single. get married. make some beautiful babies.

Can they can talk about important issues?
How many children do they want?
How do they want to handle childcare?
How do they want to handle discipline?
What are their religious beliefs?
How often do they attend worship services?
How often do they plan on attending services once you are married?
Do they plan on giving financially to their place of worship? If so, how much?
What faith will you teach your children?
Do they currently have a savings plan? Do they actually have money saved?
Do they have a retirement plan?
Do they have debt? What kind of debt? Credit card debt? Student loans? Car loans?
Have they borrowed from family and friends? Do they still owe them?
Do they pay their bills on time?
Who will handle the bill paying in your marriage?
How much will you spend on gifts for family and friends?
Do they have a budget plan for married life?
Do they have a quick temper? How do they show it? Screaming? Pouting? Walking away? Throwing or breaking things? Driving fast? Physical violence?
Are they open to discussing sensitive subjects or do they get defensive and withdraw?
Do they take prescription drugs for mental illness? Would they be open to taking such medication? Would they be open to counseling?
Do they hold a grudge or are they forgiving?
Do they complain often about people, work, or other things?
Do they criticize others — pointing out their flaws and shortcomings?
Do they have clear-cut ideas about right and wrong or do they subscribe to situational ethics?
Will they lie if it makes things more convenient for them? (For example: Calling in sick to work when they’re actually well, cheating or misleading in business deals, saying they never got a request for something when actually they simply forgot to follow through.)
Most teens can't even ask "Do you like me?" so it's highly unlikely a teenager would be mature enough to plan a marriage like this.

Answer 7

Depends on the couple and if they are ready. I'm getting married and I'm 18, but I'm in a situation where we pushed the date closer. We were going to wait until 20, but I got preg.

Answer 8

Don't do it, You'll kick your self for all the things you missed out on doing. Just wait to make sure he is the one. I was with my husband 4 yrs before we got married and I kick myself now for not waiting longer. I was 24 when we got married. You really just need to enjoy life. If he is the right one he will still be around yrs down the road.

Answer 9

18 is too young to get married you haven't even lived your life yet . you need to see what's out there before you jump up and get married.
