Should me and my girlfriend get married, we are both 20, and have been together 5 months?

Answer 1

In my opinion 5 months is not long enough. However if it feels right then I say go for it... you only live once!

Answer 2

not you arent too young but thats way to short of a time to be together to decide if you want it to be forever.. Your still in the beginning phase when everything is perfect.. You need to wait more than a year or two to find out if you guys are truly compatible !!! My bf and I have been together for 5 years and we're getting married next summer, we've been through alot the last 5 years and really learned about eachother and know now for a fact that we can make a marriage work WITHOUT divorce ! You need more time, be patient, just enjoy your time together and months and years will go by fast trust me, I'm going through it right now.. I wish you two the best of luck in the world ! I hope it all works out for you !!:)

Answer 3

You have not written anything about you working or not. If not, firget it.
1. Even if you are working, how much are you earning. Marriage is a big responsibility and you should be responsible.enough to take care of your wife.
2. You may not be planning for kids right now, but still, there are social obligations and other responsibilities which are to be carried out as a couple. You are too young to start taking such social responsibility. Not because you are 20, but because you do not have enough experience.
3. You have to be prepared for any accidents like unplanned pregnancy. At the age of 20, I think you both are too young - - FINANCIALLY, MENTALLY and PHYSICALLY to handle these types of accidents.
4. At the age of 20, we are not matured enough to understand human psychology, to understand our partners, to decide what's wrong and right. You simply lack worldly experience.
5. If you were 23 or 24 years of age, then converting a 5-month-old relationship into marriage is understood. But just at the age of 20, you are not so matured enough to understand and handle relationships and relationships problems.

So my advice, finally, is not to go ahead with marriage right now. Carry on with the same girl for atleast 2 years from now.

Enjoy!

Answer 4

This isnt very traditional but you should try living together first for awhile before getting married to see how well you two can get along under the same roof, and sharing the responsabilitys. when I say awhile I dont mean a few months. Give it at least a year. After living together for awhile true colors start to come out, and you will beable to tell if you are compatable and can tolorate eachother for the rest of your lives. Marriage is not a fairytale, and the honeymoon does not last forever! Trust me!

Answer 5

I really dont mean to put you off,but I would say hold on or slow down.I do believe that if two people are truly in love then age shouldnt be a problem.but at the same time,both of you have not had enough exeprience to make this decision.Secondly Im truly trying to convince myself that the period you know each other for should not effect how you really feel about a person But in your situation.its a combination of both!
If I were you,Id really reconsider cause the divorse rate is far too high.I have friends that are in their late 20's and early 30's that still feel that they have not experience the full single life experience.What I would suggest,is go for councilling and see if you guys are really ready for this cause the thought of marraige and actually doing it are two different things!Why rush anyway.if you both truly love each other,then why dont you wait at least a year.I've had 3 serios relationships before and in all of them,we spoke about marraige and agreed that we can do this...found out later that we actually cant.Love is a weird thing and it changes.

Answer 6

You're still in the honeymoon part of your relationship. You're all caught up in the newness of it. The intense feelings and not really knowing each other that well.

It's proven that it takes 2-3 years before you really know someone enough to marry. You know the good and the bad and know if you can accept the other person unconditionally. And that is a major part.

If it's meant to be it will stand the test of time. You are very young still. Take your time and just enjoy each other. Have fun and see where it goes.

Answer 7

I don't know your circumstances, but I feel that it far too soon.
You need to take time to really get to know each other. Over time you face many different situations in life, some good & some bad. It's only through sharing a variety of experiences that you find out if you are right for each other.
Marriage needs to be based on trust, companionship, good communication & shared interests as well as sexual attraction. At first a relationship is very exciting but as time goes by you should settle into a more comfortable but deeper relationship.

Answer 8

No, you are asking this question for a reason. Just wait a couple years and trying living together after a year first. There is no need to rush it and if you do, you might not last.

Married at 19 after being together less than a year and got divorced.

Answer 9

No way. Last year I met who I thought was a nice guy. After 4 months he asked me to marry him. I got swept up in the romance and said yes.....but i didn't really know him. He changed and things got very ugly within the space of a couple of months and I was lucky to get out of the relationship when I did and in one peice. It is a lot better to get to know the person - their good and bad bits - before you pop the question and get married.

Answer 10

Get married if you want to, if you are willing to bear and accept all responsibilites in the future as both husband and wife. And that is a very big responsibilty in the next 50 yrs or so, till either you or your wife are 6 feet under...

Answer 11

Ask your self this question, " If your girlfriend and someone you really knew cared about you was walking across the street and a truck was about to hit them ! But you could only save one of them! Which one would it be? If you say your g/f then by all means ask her to marry you ! But ask her the same question . If she would save her mother or anyone else but you no matter the reason. Dont marry her!
