is 22 too young to marry?

Question

m marrying my gf in july but my family really want me to think it out. is 22 too young?

Answer 1

Not if you're mature and can handle all the responsibility you're going to have.

Answer 2

There is no right or wrong answer to this. You may get married and stay together forever. My parents married at 20 and are still together (they are 46).

In general however 22 is pretty young. I am 28 now and due to get married in this year. I have nearly married 2 other girls in the past, but looking back, this would have been a big mistake!

You don't really mature and know yourself (normally) until you are late twenties I would say. There is no rush and you should take your time if you can.

That said - if you feel it is right then go for it! Good luck either way.

Answer 3

Absolutely not. I think it's awful your family have put this pressure on you this close to the wedding - what are the playing at? If they had a problem, they should've discussed it with you when you got engaged or when you were thinking of proposing. I'm going to be 21 (and five months!) when I get married. Loads of people I know got married that young (some younger, some a couple of years older) Don't worry, if you feel ready, then you know you can do it.

But it's your responsibility to stand up to your family for your fiancee and you.

Answer 4

It is hard to say - depends on the person. I married at 19, but was divorced 5 years later. But, now my son is 22 and has been with the same girl (on and off) for years and I think they will get married next year. Only you will know what is best - no sense rushing into anything - lots of life in front of you - good luck!

Answer 5

There is no standard "Right" age to get married. A lot of it depends upon the maturity level of the couple. Are you both aware that getting married requires a concerted effort by both parties to make it successful? They lived happily ever after only happens in fairy tales.

Some couples get married at your age or younger and they stay married. Some couples get married a few years older than you and get a divorce. I don't know of any statistics to prove any greater odds either way.

I guess bottom line is "If you and your fiance feel it is right, Go for it!"

Answer 6

Well it depends on the person but I would have thought 22 is fine age to marry. You are an adult. I married at 21 and am still married at 39........

Answer 7

No.
People use to get married at the age of 13. Did you ever read Romeo and Juliet?

But honestly, there are people who are 35 and shouldnt marry because they arent mature enough yet. Its all about the individual. Nobody is the same. If you are both mature enough to get married, then go for it.

Answer 8

Yea man , im 27 in a long term relationship but i still think im probably too young , gonna wait til im at least 30 and done everything i wanted to do. When i was 22 i was with this girls for years and thought that she was the one , turned out we hated living together. so glad i didnt marry her! trust ya family mate. take it easy and enjoy yaself. Your girlfriend should do the same

Answer 9

Both my mom and my sister got married at 22. Both were/are happily married. I'm 22 and if my bf and I were out of college we'd be getting married soon. If you and your gf are ready, go for it.

Answer 10

I'ts quite young to get married at 22 these days. Just be sure you want it 100%!

Answer 11

Not necessarily, but if you have doubts then it might be an idea to wait. I got married when I was 20 and my parents thought I was making a mistake (didn't really like him). 2 years later I was divorced, so the buggers were right.
