If you feel that it is the right time, and that you two were meant to be together. Everyone matures at different ages and you shouldn't let the opinion of someone else get in the way of your love for one another. Seek the Lord's will about it and pray. One bit of advice, I was married when I was twenty-one and I have been happily married for almost a year. All my life I had people telling me what to do and how I "should" do things. Then I realized that it is my story and I can choose how I want to write it. When I became a christian it opened my eyes to so many things and I couldn't be happier. Follow your heart and not anyone elses. Marriage is not an easy task, but it is worth it to know that their is someone in your life that will be forever there, not only as a spouse but a best friend and we all know those are hard to come by!
Remember age is just a number.
Best wishes and God Bless.

It really depends on the type of person you are. Getting married at 18 could mean that you are putting your education on hold. It could mean that you are rushing into long term commitment without looking towards the future. You should take into consideration weather or not your relationship is solid enough to withstand an early age marriage.
Waiting until after you follow through with more education, probably gives you more options should things go sour. You don't have that dependence on the other person and perhaps that other person may not truly be the person for you.
I'd suggest that you wait a while to make sure that the person you are considering to marry is really a person that you could see living with for the rest of your life. If you are not sure if this person is for you, all you can do is wait and look at your options.

It all depends on the people involved not the age. If you are mature and willing to make a life long commitment, then yes. I was 20 when I got married and have been married for 10 1/2 years and have 3 great kids. I was ready and worked hard to make my marriage successful through good and bad times. Marriage takes work and dedication at any age.

You can, but it's just not a good idea. Between the ages of 18-25 a person will grow and mature and ultimately become a different person. Unless the person you are married to changes in the same direction at the same rate, you're going to grow apart.
There is a very good reason the divorce rate for that age range is over 70%.

what do you mean by "practical"? because no, i wouldnt think it would be practical to have to pay for a wedding, place to live, houseful of new appliances/furniture/dishes/linens, and pretty much have all that responsibility at the age of 18. 21 (or older!) is definitely better because you have been on your own a few years and know what you want, hopefully have some money saved, and could be better prepared for having kids, should it happen (intentionally or not). definitely something to think about... could you take care of a child emotionally and financially at the age of 18?

I'd say it's better to wait until you've both finished college...if you both are going. But, there have been many successful marriages where they married at 18 or around that age. It's a little young...but perfectly legal.

it depends on you financial situation. i'd recommend 21, since it will give you plenty of time to save up, and get some college out of the way. but if you just can't wait that long, than i don't see a huge problem with 18, but it will be pretty hard financially for you and your spouse.

it's way too young, many marriages break down and ended in divorce becos of financial stability, at this age, either the girl is still studying or the guy is not even working yet. This is definitely not a right age for marriage.

What's the rush? Go enjoy life a bit before you decide to spend the next fifty years with someone. It's really hard to go backpacking through Europe or tour with String Cheese Incident with a husband in tow.
