Is 21 years old too young to get married?

Answer 1

HI, i think that depends on if the person is really ready for marriage. i really cant give a age for that. i think that the maturity of the persons involved needs to be checked. are they both willing to accept all of the responsibilities of marriage? i would also advice premarital counseling. i have been married for 13 years. when i got married i was 15 and my husband was 22. we now have 4 children and we are soooooooooo sooooooooooooo happy. our love has only grown and we have accepted our responsiblities of being married forever. of course we had to go to court and get permission to get married because of my young age, but we did it and we are happy that we did. getting married that young did me alot of good. and before anyone asks, no i was not pregnant before i got married, yes i finished school, and yes i went on to get a degree, (in medical assisting and phlebotomy). my husband also finished college. he has degrees in computer science, business, and autocad engineering and drafting. life has been a blessing to us and we also have been each others biggest fans! i couldnt have accomplished what i did without him and i have always had his back and i always will.
so best answer should be to just check to see if you are really ready for all that comes with a marriage!
be blessed

Answer 2

In general, 21 is considered too young to marry. But you could be a more mature couple than most. Talk to different people about how they see the two of you, take "marriage" classes that churches offer, and buy books that help you evaluate your relationship, and offer you a list of questions that help you determine if you're really ready for marriage.
Seriously consider each other's personalities, attitudes, values, morals, words, actions, etc. Think with your head as well as your heart.

Answer 3

I got married 3 months before my 21st birthday, and several family member have gotten married right when they turned 18 and are still married. It's a matter of opinion, no one can tell YOU the right time to get married, if you're ready at 21, go for it!

Answer 4

Legally, No. But it is better to wait until you are a little older. You are just now the legal age for drinking which means you can now go out and mingle with others. You should enjoy your single life longer. Make sure you are really ready to get married. It is a big committment. Good luck

Answer 5

I think it depends on so many things including your maturity, how stable your relationship is, how your families feel about it. If your family and friends don't like your spouse, there is a reason. Love is blind, but not to outsiders.

I was married at 21 and divorced at 22. So, do I recommend it...NO.

I should have trusted my gut. Trust your gut, you can't go wrong with that.

Good luck!

Answer 6

It really depends on the couple. While I would suggest "seeing the world" and getting an education first, if you both know what you want out of life and want to achieve it together, go for it. Sometimes we get so hung up on "age" that we overlook that we could be passing up our soul-mate. Of course this is assuming both parties involved have reached a certain maturity level.

Answer 7

no i do not think so at all:) As long as you are ready for that lifetime commitment and are marrying for love and for the right reasons I do not see what is wrong with it at all... Go for it girl and good luck to you. just make sure that you know the person really well that you are marrying before doing so... date and get to know each other for at least a year before taking the plunge.

Answer 8

Yes, I was married at 20yrs old and divorced 3 yrs later. Wait...if its right then ya'll will still be together and then get married. Get engaged for a long period and even move in; you need to see how things are before jumping in.

Answer 9

Nope. Im getting married this year. I'll be 24 and my fiance she will be 21

Answer 10

No if you are a mature 21 year old.
