Not sure about all the naysayers. I was 19 when I married my best friend. She is the most wonderful woman I have ever known. We have been married 33 yrs on the 23rd of dec. It has been the best rollercoaster ride I have ever been on. It is always easier to walk away from a relationship then to stick it out and work things through. But every time you do it makes the bond that much stronger. Now we are grandparents and enjoy each others company even more than when we were younger. So to answer the question I think if it is what you wish to do then by all means marry. But remember it is not a till I dont like you anymore vow it is a forever committment. Best of luck.

I would think he's being pressured by his fiance to make a commitment when he really doesn't want to. Women are the commitment pushers. Or I would assume the girl is pregnant. Age 19 is a little young for making a big life changing decision such as marraige. Financial problems are one of the main causes of divorce, so I'd also assume that if he's getting married, he's already gotten a good stable job that he can provide a stable life for his wife. If not, she will leave quite quickly. Many women have a marriage fantasy that is fragile, therefore easy to destroy. If it doesn't go exactly the way they imagined it, they may be forever bitter even though they're pretending they're not.
I'd say stay engaged for a few more years and see if there is a change in both life goals.

My hub was 21 when we married, we had been together for 2 yrs.
He has grown up and changed alot in the last 10 yrs of marriage. In some ways he is not the same person at all anymore. In the end we are still together (so far...lol), and things are good. Few years ago (7 yr itch is true by the way), things got real rough but we relized that we could and would work it out and so far we have.

Marriage at 19 is not necessarily a bad thing nor is it too young, especially if the guy is mature enough to handle the responsibility, financially and otherwise. Years ago, men and women married even younger than that, say, at 15, without 'having' to, and stayed married until one died.

I got married the first time at 19 and it only lasted 11 months. It was very hard to go through a divorce at that young age. I think we were both just too young and selfish and weren't ready to be as commited as you should be to get married.I guess it depends on the 2 people involved and their maturity level and the commitment they are willing to have to the relationship.

Too early! Eventhough u think u might be ready to settle down and get married you really aren't no matter your maturity level. U are not done having your fun yet. U are still young! There is nothing wrong with being in love but still go out and have teenage fun....NOT SLEEPING AROUND..but have individual fun instead of being tied down so early. Most relationships that get married that early don't last or they end up breaking up for a while and getting back together.

It can work
i know heaps who married at 21 & years later they are still together.
Marriage is like a car you need to maintain it & look after it for it to run smooth
But really why 19 thats just a baby can't you wait 4 a few years
what is the rush?

I think it's young, but then again I married at the same age, and we are still married to this day, and as happy as the first day we met, so if he thinks he's ready for that type of commitment.......because a marriage is considered a union between two people and two families, it's not anything that should be taken lightly or that someone should just jump into without giving it any thought, so think about it first.............

I am 19 and engaged to a wonderful girl that is 23, i am fairly mature for my age and in a position in my life ready to settle down. I have a stable job, a sound mind and still enjoy going out alot however know that my girl comes first. I think that if you are in a position where you know you want to spend the rest of your life with her and you both know what you are in for it will work. A good idea that made both our parents feel alot better is we set up a pre-nup, this sets out each persons possessions going into the relationship and therfore what you bring in you walk away with if things dont work out.. all in all good luck to any marriage but remember only 1 in 3 work in Australia.......... i say that to many people confuse lust with love

Too young although I do know of people marrying much younger. Not knowing the circumstances it is hard to comment but under normal circumstances I would not think anyone is ready to assume the responsibilities of marriage at such a young age, especially the financial obligations. Also, I don't think anyone at this age is emotionally ready for such responsibilities either.
