Good lord...where do I begin????
Marrying young isn't necessarily a recipe for disaster, but more often than not, it is.
For some people, marrying too young can actually be at any age, but when the chronological age is young, problems rise. If you marry at 18, 19--even at 20, 21 or 22, you haven't lived enough life to begin sharing it with someone else. You haven't had enough time to get to know the adult you..
Anytime you marry young, you bring your immaturity into the marriage with you and marriage is already tough enough. Take a look at statistics....kids born during the depression amd who became young adults during or right after WWII, got married young. They;re in their mid to late 70;s now and early 80's and they have one of the highest divorce ratios of any age group. I think marrying young was the reason.
Back then, women either elected not to go to college or dropped out in order to get married and raise their families. I think this prompted resentment later on in life. These women never knew their full potential. Not that being a wife and mother are anything to snear at...I'm not saying that, but there's more to life...more to being a woman than sating "I do", then learning years later that simply, "you don't" and seriously wonder if ever did.
Too many people...namely women, romanticize marriage. They look at it like a fairy tale and when they're in it, they become dissilusioned because marriage is hardly what they thought it would be.
And worse still, more young couples are more concerned with the details and fine points of their wedding and not their marriage. When the ceremony is over, they look at each other and wonder, "now what??"
Sad.
I say, live a little. Go to college..have fun...learn the responbsibility of taking care of yourself before bringing someone else into the picture. If college isn't part of the equation, get a job. Get a roomate, or if you can afford it, live alone. Get a few years of life and living under your belt.
Get to know you first.
Enjoy being a young adult. Because you're gonna be older SO much longer than you'll be young.
Trust me, bringing experience in to the marriage is a hell of a lot better then bringing inexperience into the mix.

biggest: depression due to too high expectations and adjustment to be married or living together. Couples expect way too much first entering a marriage and once the "Cinderella/honeymoon" period is over and reality sets in, it becomes quite a shock to learn what Prince Charming or Cinderella really is like. Whether or not both can adapt to the true reality of marital bliss or not, pretty much sets the tone for how long the marriage will last and their ability to overcome all the problems that come with marriages.

Early marriage. There are several factors it might not be a good idea. 1. The couple might not have fully grown to know they're wants and desires in a relationship. 2. The couple might not have a good chance to learn about the other. 3. The couple might not know how to communicate well, or know how to cope with each other when they're are problems.

The biggest problems faced by both sexes are not having the experience in knowing how to treat other people and looking only at your own needs instead of the needs of your spouse.

i never got to date other men and get to know me first, what i am all about. my first husband got a virgin, me, and all i did was spend my youth at home caring for babies, however when young you have the energy for active children. [by that i mean not travelling or college when i was young, not illicit sex] it lasted 16 years. However i stayed clean and moral and din't whore around, like girls do today, later i married my true love! and we travel! so all and all i am glad i raised my kids in a wholesome family enviromment and not as a single working mother who sleeps around with different guys on the weekend, whom she met at work or in a club. I always had the respect that marraige brings.

They may not be mature enough to make a life long commitment.
