What are the advantages of teenage marriage?

Question

Were having a debate and I'm on the affirmative side. I really find this topic difficult. Please help me. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

A lot.

The disadvantages are not small in number either, but since you didn't ask for it, I won't bother telling you. I will simply assume that the couple in question are mature (please differ mature from old) enough, in a stable financial condition, very much in love with one another and really want to build a good family. If so, then here are the advantages:
- They are in good physical shape and attain a good sexual attraction towards one another for longer time within their marriage. It reduces the risk of adultery.
- They shall have sex legally, both in terms of law and religion. No guilt haunting them and not afraid of the woman being pregnant.
- In fact, they probably want to have a baby right away which has lots of advantage in itself, such as: they will have the energy to take care of the children until the children are ready to be independent. For instance, when the second child reach the age of 24, they will be around 50 or so. Not even the age of retirement yet.
- When their children become teenagers, they're still young enough to be not just their parents, but also their friends. It is a huge advantage in terms of the children's psychological development.
- They won't be too old to help their children when they're independent but still need (mostly financial) help. It happens.
- They will still be in top notch condition to play with their grandchildren.
- They will still be in prime condition to enjoy life just the two of them (again) when their children become independent and leave the house.

I'm sure you can come up with more after you read this. Just think sex, physical, mental, money, children, grandchildren, social life, and so on.

Answer 2

the only advantage i can think of, would be being Naieve to the situation, having a fantasy of what marriage should be, from years of watching tv shows.. They are clueless to the real world and what actually is out there, only thing even with that, is that eventually reality catches up to them and its like running into a brick wall for them.. So even thats not exactly a "pro" for ur arguement..

Very few teen marriages these days work..

Answer 3

There aren't any advantages to this. First of all, you would be committing yourself to someone whom you may grow to dislike over time as you will both continue to grow up. Sometimes, people change as they grow and it's not always done together as a couple. People grow apart. It would be better if you waited for sometime to see if you still feel this way a few years down the road. What has attracted you to this person in the first place may be just the thing to drive you away later. Time and knowledge are to your advantage, make use of them.

Remember, you do have the whole rest of your life, do you really want to settle down with someone this early in your life, or do you want to try and experience as much of what life has to offer you at this stage?

Answer 4

I guess nobody sees any advantage on a young marriage.... i think you are talking about 16-18 years old ? If is that right i don't really see any either... is too hard, maintain a house, pay bills, and many other things... but i got married when i turned 20 and is the best thing i ever did, Good Luck !

Answer 5

There is everything advantage with teen marriage. If you're capable of acting like an adult in all other retrospects, getting married shouldn't be an issue associated with age.
It is the teens who marry for the wrong reasons (pregnancy, wanting to get out of parents house, etc) that cause so much of the negativity surrounding this 'issue'.

Answer 6

Well all i can think of is that if teenagers get married and stay married they will not sleep with as many people and not have babies they didn't want with random people. They will also be less likely to get std's and spread them around as long as they are faithful in their marriage.

Answer 7

I was married at 19 the advantage was that I got rid of him by 23

Answer 8

you get to grow up at the same time as your kids!!!! Seriously though, there aren't any... i think this debate is dumb and misleading, if its a school project, I think your teacher should be assessed!! Why would anyone want to promote such a thing as teenage marriage??????

Answer 9

From where I sit, I can't think of any. I'm 25 and got married at 22, which even to this day I think was too young. (Not expressing any regrets, mind you; I love you wife and love being married to her.) We're both fully grown adults and things are tough enough on us as is, so I can't endorse people getting married in their teens.

Answer 10

Younger persons are generally more flexible compared to the older model.
