I am turning 21 in January and getting married in June. My fiance just turned 20 in August. Nobody has the right to tell you that you are too young. If you love him that is all that matters. And you know maybe the statistics do show that the divorce rate is higher for couples who get married young. But who cares. You'll never know unless you do it. The thing that aggravates me the most thought is that people sure can dish it out but they can't take it. The next time that somebody tells you your too young ask them how old they were. Chances are they were younger than you. My fiance and I will be together for 4 years when we get married. Ask alot of older couples how long they were together. Probably less thana year. My aunt was 16 when she got married and she is still married to the same man. She even quit high school to marry him. And she is American and he is Vietmanese. I bet nobody thought that they would make it. They are happier than ever. My mom was like around 18 when she married my dad and they are going to be celebrating their 30th anniversary this March. I don't believe in the statistics...I believe in the true love that I see everyday with my parents, my aunts and uncles, my coworkers, and even my older sister. Don't let anybody tell you that you are too young and you'll regret it. Who are they to tell you how your going to feel 10 years from now. Sometimes I think those people are just jealous!!! lol! Good Luck with everything!!!

Yeah sure. I know some people that have gotten married at an early age, but I would suggest waiting a little bit. What's the rush? If you two truely love each other, you know that you can stick out not being married for another couple of years.
Plus, with marriage comes ALOT of responsibilty that I don't think some people realize. If you haven't yet lived on your own, I would suggest waiting. How do you know you can manage you life with someone else's if you haven't yet experienced managing your own life by yourself?
It's a great feeling to know that someone wants to spend the rest of their life with you. But as a young person, you still have much to experience! And I'm sure your significant other will be understanding!

Young...HOW YOUNG?? If you are over 18, then yes. But I HIGHLY recommend waiting till you are a little older. Getting married at such a young age has SUCH A HIGH chance for divorce! Most people who divorce get married between the ages of 18-28. You are young, so wait... Who needs to rush, just enjoy eachother and have fun with your life!

I did and I wish I would have done the things all my old friends did and worry about going to college and partying. Instead I am now am single mom raising kids without child support, he does not even come to see them, there is no break! Work and kids and chores, If you love the person, you can wait, just be sure it is the right one, besides the men I was attracted to when I was 19, are way different than what I am looking for in a man now that i have matured!

It depends on how young. If we are talking before 18 that would worry me. But after that I think it depends on the maturity and the committment of both of the persons involved. I am getting married at 21

I believe it all depends on the relationship, and how well you know your partner. I got married at the age of 18, after dating my now husband for just over a year. We now have 2 kids, and have been HAPPILY married for 16 years!!!
Definitely CAN work...but don't expect your partner to "change", if the relationship is not good to start with...don't get married hoping it will get better, AT ANY AGE!

no person gets married with the thought they're going to get divorced. This one is the only i visit be with for something of my existence. I even have not considered human beings I went to college with for 30 years. I had a extreme college lady chum that i actually enjoyed and that i've got no longer considered her for 30 years. I met and married "the only" while i became 22. i became divorced 5 years later. in case you prefer to get married on your "ONE" then who's all human beings on line to stop you. yet i will guess the deepest loan you heavily isn't married to them in 50 years like my mom and dad have been. get exhilaration from the time the two considered one of you have mutually no rely while you're married or no longer or for a manner long. and have a look at to be civilized and acquaintances once you ascertain to end the relationship. stable success. P.S. I married the "ONE" back while i became 31. 3 youngsters and incredibly much 2 many years later i'm nevertheless married to the "ONE".

Well, i think that depends on how your define young. Most of us fall for the first person that breaks or virginity, says I love you, or showed any sign of wanting us. I think that everyone young as well as old should take the time get to know their mate. I think if we take the time to do this it will save us from heartache and divorce later.

How young?
Even though it is legal I think that no one should get married if they are under 21.
Plus you want to have finished school and have financially stable jobs.

In some rare cases the marriage will last but speaking from experience what you think you want when your young is usually not what you want when you get older. Think it through before you do it.
