I was 17 when I married and sometimes I wish we had waited a little longer. We have been married for 15 years now but some of it has been a little rocky. I really do think if we had of waited till we were a little older we wouldn't have had such a hard time starting out together. Wait a couple of years and go to college or at least get some good jobs before jumping into it.

Congratulations on finding the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. I think people too often assume that people cannot truly know at a young age, but when you meet the right person, you just know. I don't think you should get married yet though. As hard as it is to wait, it is important to get experience in the world first. Go to college or get a job and grow in your relationship together and in a couple years when you are both ready, then get married. Good luck!

No. I don't think people your age generally have the experience they should have when entering a committment as serious as marriage. I know some people who have done it this young, and they are still going strong... but it's not the majority who do turn out ok. I would wait. If your relationship is strong enough, you'll still be together and love each other a few years from now. And you will have more life experience to help you be a better husband. If I had married the man I wanted to marry when I was your age, I would be miserable now. Instead, we had a five year relationship that ended with a split, and I found the man I was really supposed to be with. I'm 25. It hurts, but you should wait.

My answer is no.
You two have so much growing to do still.. and you just have no idea. I was in the same relationship with a guy from the time i was 15 until I was almost 21.. and the fact is, we were still growing up, and we ended up growing apart. We realized that there were things we needed to expierience.. and we needed to expierience them apart.
As it was, I had ended up with someone, getting married after being together for 2 years.. and I still think now, that at thet ime I was too young (I was nearly 24 when I got married). Still had to figure myself out.. and our marriage (As we are still married), has suffered tremdously because I was still changing.. and I am still figuring myself out.
Each person is different.. but the two of you aren't even old enough to have alcohol yet.

OMG NO! and I am getting married in a couple of months and sometimes I think I am still a lil young, it seems thats what you want right now, when your in love everything seems right but the truth is all you need is time to see the real picture you still have alot to mature and see and do! Give it time and if later on IF you guys are still together then you will really know it was meant to be or not!

Most of the time it doesn't work out however i've seen couples as young as 17 married and they are still married years later.

only if you really believe it would be cool to celebrate your 50Th anniversary when you are 68, You have the rest of your life to be married, can you honestly see your self with this girl in 5-10-15 years, as well as all the responsibilities of raising a family, working, , this is a big step and you need a lot of information and knowledge before you commit to such a huge decision,I am not saying do not get married I am saying Know what you are getting into, or at least what others have to say on the matter, and then you can make an informed decision

Don't get married at all at least not right now you are still young with a lot of life a head of you. When people get married real young they end up regretting it when they get older. So just date have fun and enjoy life for right now. Get married when you truly understand what it's all about and you are sure about it.

no, you are both way too young. Things change when you get older. Wait a few years. Go to college, get a job, make some money. THen if you two are still together, propose then. What is the rush???

Unless the two of you are exceptionally mature (be honest), I'd say wait a few years. You're awfully young to make a decision that will affect the rest of your life.
