I'm not going to go into great detail with this answer, cause I believe it's a very touchy subject and not to be taken lightly when you are talking about marriage.
I got married when I was 18 years old, I thought I would be married to my ex husband forever I thought I knew everything I thought I would live happily ever after.
I'm 21 now and just signed divorce papers, when you are that young you are going to grow and change as a person and it's going to be hard to stay in love with the same person for your entire life at that young age, I know it does it happen but it is getting less and less likely, I would wait to marry besides you have your entire life ahead of you there's no reason to get married now!! Just stay young, and have fun don't tie yourself down so quickly, you will grow up really fast and miss out on so many important things in life that you CAN NEVER get back.

Well that depends on who your talking to. 90% of people believe that getting married is stupid in general. Most people don't realize that some people naturally desire to be one with someone they truly love in everyway. Not everyone is naturally born with the desire to be alone. If this person is truly the one for you, then get married. But since your 18, I'm not sure you know who you really are and what you really want to really know if this is the right person for you.
If the people who tell you not to get married have actual real advice other than the low brow comment 'Marriage sucks'e, then listen to what they say and see if it has merit. Then make a very logical decision.

You should probably try living together for a while. Make sure you know their bad habits and just how annoying they can be when you can't get them out of your hair. Then when people speak against it you can give them a more solid bit of evidence that your choice won't sway over time (not that they still won't) other than your feelings since you are still growing and changing your mind. If you really love each other then there shouldn't be a problem waiting anyway since a marriage certificate only changes the legalities and not the love.

When to get married is a very personal choice and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. My husband and I got married when I was seventeen, just before I started my first year of college. Since then, we have both finished school and now have two beautiful kids. It isn't something I would recommend for my own daughter. I think that I missed out on some things because I got married so young but I don't regret a bit of it.

You should listen to well meaning advise, but only you two can decide what is best for you... Are you going on to school, can you afford it , is it really love or lust, do you have goals in common, religious beliefs in common, would continuing alienate your families? What is the rush?? You have your whole lives ahead of you..and if it was meant to be then it will be..live a little first, spread your wings..life changes so much after high school.. Set a time in the future, but slow down and let it develop on its own.

I always advise against it because of personal experience. I have never seen a marriage last that started when the partners were so young. !8,19,20,21,22 is so young and inexperienced. There is so much life to live before you go jumping in. If it is love, it'll still be there in five years. People change so much in their late teens and earlier twenties that marriage at that age is just illogical. I hate to see young people make such life alternating decisions when still so naive.

i started dating my now husband at age 18 and i would have married him then too but he got shipped to iraq for a year and then i spent a year planning the wedding i have never regretted a minute of it so if you are in love go on with it and don't let anyone tell you different you may be young but growing up a little together can be fun :) good luck
