Answer 2

That totally depends on the relationship and the 2 people involved. How mature are they? Is one pushing for this onto the other, or is it a mutual decision? How long have they been together? How stable has the relationship been in the past? Is there a reason for getting married right away?
A lot of young marriages end within the first few years... usually because neither person was mature enough when they married. The person you are at 18 isn't always the person you are at 21 or 25.
But, there's always exceptions. I've been with my husband since I was 14 (he's 3 years older than me), married when I was 17... we've been married 11 years now and have 2 wonderful boys.

Answer 3

It really depends on the individual. However, 18 is so young. In today's world marriage is taking a back seat. There is such a big world out there,so much to see,places to visit,interesting people to meet, great career's to be had. At 18, a person should enjoy being young and enjoy their lives. You need to become an individual first, know what you want to do with your life before it really begins. Getting married is a HUGE responsibility, it forces a person to grow up with tremendous demands,financial,emotional and social pressures. Stay young for as long as you can, you will be an adult for most of your life. The years pass too quickly,do not look to rush them.

Answer 4

Is it possible to get married at 18 and have a loving husband, wonderful family, and a happy, successful life?

Sure.

Would I recommend trying it? No. I got married for the first time at the age of 22 and it was the WRONG move. I was too young then.

Answer 5

not in my opinion. in this age, 18 is no more mature than 14, especially when it comes to matters of the heart (and groin)

almost half of the marriages in the U.S. end in divorce, the majority being young-married couples who were not ready for the commitment.

plus, marriage is fast becoming outdated. it simply does not work these days. people are too self centered, with a huge lack of tradition and duty.

they want to live their lives, unencroached upon by anyone else, and even when you 'love' someone, there is always a line, where a grudge can be born, and thus ruining the relationship.

years ago, this may have meant the end to a happy marriage, but not the marriage. it was not an option to be divorced for seemingly minor causes, so falling out of love was tough luck.

Answer 6

that's kind of the minimum age for marriage, so there's nothing wrong with it, it's still just a little young. If you are ready for the committment, and have found the right person, and are deeply in love, then I see no problem with it. Also, if you have a good plan for education and career goals, and have talked about when you will start a family, and how many kids you want, then you might be ready.

So many factors, but people have made young marriages work. One benefit could be that if you marry young, and have your family young, you will still be young enough to enjoy some adventures in life after your kids are grown.

Answer 7

Depends why you are getting married. Most women get married because they want to be queen for a day and have no intention of doing those things necessary to make a good life and a good family. Boy, do they suffer....but not as much as they make others suffer.

However, it is NORMAL for a woman to get married young, to an older man and stay married for life. The key to a happy life is to marry a good man and devote yourself to your family. Since most women simply marry some thug that knocked them up, needless to say, they don't get that result.

Ideally, you should look for your man, beginning in your late teens and look to get married in your early twenties. You should have your children before age 25. Your husband should be 5 to 10 years older than you. His character should be flawless. No bad habits. He should be educated and doing something with his life. He should be the type of guys who plans to be married to you for life and his focus should be on you and your family and nowhere else. Men like that are rare so it will take years for you to find him.

The best place to find a man like that is in college, of course. Preferably, he should be a graduate student. Although you may or may not work, you should strive to have a college degree. People self select their mates on two broad criteria....intelligence (VERY few geniuses hook up with dummies) and race (only a certain percentage of people date outside their race and this percentage has been stable for the last 500 years.....it is unimportant as far as issues go except to understand that the man you want, might not want you, if you are of a different race.....simply asking him about this will save you all sorts of grief).

Understand something about career. Feminist rhetoric aside, very, VERY few women have a real career. A job is not a career. A job supplies money but is disposable. A career means you are climbing the corporate ladder or are a professional. NEVER skimp on your family to chase a career that 90% of the time results in a dead end. It's not worth it. If you are a doctor, lawyer, or CEO of your own company, that's different. If you are a low level manager at the local mall.....don't kid yourself.

Answer 8

A lot of people would say no, but I think it really depends from person to person. Young couples can have a lot to deal with, they may still be in education, they may not have been going out for very long, and they might not even be mature enough to be in a long term relationship yet. Teenage weddings can break down easily for all these reasons and more. But, if nurtured enough, and if both people in the couple feel mature and ready enough for marriage, and they are in love, and they have thought it through seriously, in a mature way, discussing realistic plans for their future together, then I believe the relationship can work. Hope this helps!

Answer 9

If I were you I would wait as long as I could! The mas that I thought I loved at 18 is much different than he man that I fell in love with and married in my late 20's.
I would have been miserable if I had married the other.

Answer 10

Hell no! why would u want to get married at 18? You should spent atleast ten years having a good time and such. Then settle down in ur mid 30's and strart a family ur early 40s

Answer 11

18...barely an adult, i dont even consider them adults at that age...i think ur not an adult until 21. if they let u drink at that age, then u should be considered an adult. but marriage is a very serious thing. when u say "i do" then thats supposed to be for life. u should ask ur self if this person ur about to marry is TRULY the one u wanna be with for the rest of ur life. people take marriage lightly b/c they think "well, we can get a divorce" thats sooo bad though. marriage was meant to last. im not trying to yell at ya, but im just saying, think about it. do u really think ur ready for this?
