Question

Of getting married at a young age?

Answer 1

your getting coned there are no pros

Answer 2

Pro's of marrying at a young age:
1. When you are young, you are too ignorant to know that there is anything out there better for you to do with your life than try and hang out in bed with your boyfriend all day.
2. You both (hopefully) are in terrific shape so the sex part is fun, until one of you decides to try out your new skills with someone else.
3. When it doesn't work out, you are still young enough to live a full life and marry again- this time with some wisdom and life experience behind you to help you make a real marriage instead of "going steady" with a license.


The cons of marrying at a young age:
1. You really have NOTHING to bring into this relationship that will magically make it a mature, stable and successful venture out side of the sex thing and a few bucks from Mommy and Daddy (and that will go quickly). No life experience. No other dating, living, long term relationship experience to learn from so you honestly do not know what is "normal" or "abnormal" in your communicating etc.

2. Even if you THINK that this is the one and only person for you when you are under 25, you WILL question your decision when things start to get difficult. I have watched countless couples marry and even have children before they are 25, and almost ALL of them have had some sort of late 20's early 30's freak out where they realize they lost years of being a person on their own and they want to know now (especially women) if they can make something more of their lives than the small, tight circle of their daily activities.

Here's an exercise to figure out when to marry-
Take a tape measure and stretch it out so you can see at least 80 inches. That's an average life span for an American today.

Take a look at how many inches you have already lived and how many more you have until you hit 80.

There are 6 BILLION people on this planet. About half are the opposite sex from you. You probably have at LEAST 10,000 perfect mates out there and that is a conservative number.

Look at the tape measure again and then look at the person you are jonesing to "marry" so few inches into your life. Take it from there.

Answer 3

con's . You have to be really sure this is the right one.

Pro's.. You can go and have fun together, look out for each other and generally have a good safe time, you don't have to "settle down" straight away if you don't want to.
But if you do have the children early then they will be off your hands early as well. Yaaaaaaaa its great. Mine were already in their twenties when I was just in my early 40's.
We have been married 34 years.

Answer 4

I'm 19 years old and just got married. I love being married, but I went through a time where I didnt think I wanted to be married. Because I thought I wanted to be single and know what its like. I've been with him for 5 years... (highschool sweethearts).... I hope this kind of helps you.
