I was 24 when I got married and 25 when I had my son.
It's not too young. I think you are just feeling protective of your sister which is admirable. However, she is an adult and she needs to be able to make her own decisions and needs to be supported in those decisions. If she is happy then you will be happy, if things do go awry, at least she will have family who loves her for support.

It is not too young. Every couple is different. Some are ready younger, some are ready older. My wife and I were married at 21 and 22 respectively. I know young ladies that were very mature for their age and were married right out of high school before they turned 18. My oldest daughter was married at 21. My second daughter is now 27 and has not found the right man yet. My parents were both 19 when they married. If your sister is ready at 24 then let her follow her own heart. I think you should leave well enough alone.

Every person and couple is different. I am 24 and I just recently got engaged myself. I feel that as long as they know what they are getting into and have put serious thought into the entire thing, then why worry. I'm sure that even though they want to have a baby, it doesn't mean that they will have one right away. They may just surprise you and wait until they are a little more financially stable before they actually decide to have kids. Just realize that if they are mature enough to stay together for 6 years and decide to get married before they have a child together, then they are mature enough to know when it is the right time to have children. I hope this helps.

I am 24 and engaged. We have been together since I was 18. (He was 19 and is now 25) We're getting married in June. It's all good.
I want kids right away, he wants to wait so we can have "time to enjoy each other." What have the last six years been?! But, we will wait. He's right. Now we can be married, and just have each other rather than the families, too.
It will be okay. BTW..........Are you MY sister? B Muffin?

No way that's not too young. It's just about right. I was engaged at 19 and married at 20. Although I am now 29 and still married, looking back I know I was too young.

I was engaged at 19 and married at 22. We just celebrated our 8th anniversary. We have 2 kids (although we waited 3 years and had our house by that time) and I am a stay at home mom. I regret nothing about my life or choice to marry younger.
I think you are worrying over nothing, her path may be different than yours, but its whats working for her.
Plus it bodes well that they have been together for 6 years, they probably have put alot of thought into this issue. 24 is mature enough, she will be fine. Be supportive.

No. Getting engaged at 24 is not too young. I was engaged for the second time at the age of 21.

It depends on how mature they are. However, it is best to wait a couple of years before having children. They need that time alone to learn to live with each other after the honeymoon. Just because they've known each other since they were 18 doesn't mean they really know each other.

I think that's not too young. Now if she were 18 and getting married, then I'd say it was a bad decision.
