So what do you think about marriage @ 18?

Question

3 years together i really like him...?

Answer 1

You really like him? Jump ship now, if you just "LIKE" him. I married at 18, and it's very very tough. If I could change it, I would of waited till I was 25 or so. We're still married, 30 yrs. but have had lots of trouble, that could of been by-passed if we would of waited.

Answer 2

Becareful of the seven year itch. It happens to all couples tt have been together whether married or not. During this period usually the guys want to find another partner just to find out if they r missing out in anything. sometimes they find this new thing better & sweeter leaving u in the dust. 3 yrs relationship is not tt long.
Anyway there r girls tt get married at almost all ages, after puberty tt is, for many different reasons. look at yur reason for wanting to get married. certain things r a must nowdays ie r u and yur future husband financially secure, where u want to live, what is yur family planning like, r u going to be a burden to yur parents, does yur future husband travel alot leaving u alone most of the time, so on so forth.
these r some of the factors u need to answer yurself. than with careful planning with yur parents come up with yur answer.
Love or just like r diffrent ways people express themselves. Doesn't mean if u never said the word love yur marriage will never work and will break up. Thousands of couples every year divorce even though before marriage they said the word love.
the big question is r u and him ready for tt commitment which comes together with the word marriage.... good luck to u.

my advice - No one can say what yur future will be. just tackle the problem as they come and never put them aside cus if u do than they might come back with interest tt u can never pay.

ps - 7 yr itch doesnt mean it will happen in the seventh year. It is just an estimation. could happen now or even ten yrs later but usually at 7 yrs.

Answer 3

Take a look at your quuestion and gerneral info on it. You really like him. Marriage is when you love someone and want to be with them the rest of your life. You've been with this person for three years so that means you were only 15 when you started seeing him. I think you should date other people for awhile as it does not appear you have much experience in relationships. Try that for a few years and see if you still want to be with this person and if you really love them. I bet you will find it was more the thought of being married than being in love. You are young and there is alot you will miss if you marry at this age and there will come a day that you will start missing all the things you could have done and it may be to late to do them by then as you may be tied down with children to take care of. Just give it some serious thought . weigh the pro's and con's of it.

Answer 4

Getting married at 18 is too young. I have known different couples who have married at a young age and ended up being sorry and then got divorced. Some marriages at that young of an age do not work out. You both have alot of growing up to do and alot of changes to go through. You have your whole life ahead of you so while throw it away on one person by being married. You need to wait for a few years to get married and then if it's meant to be then you will be married to this person.

Answer 5

OMG, you are so young. You have so much to learn. You might feel like you know it all and that this is the love of your life. Believe me, you'll learn so much between now and by the time you're 25. And even more in your 30's. I would advice you to get to know yourself first. If you guys really love eachother, then you don't need to get married. Marriage really changes a relationship. I always thought it doesn't do that, but it really does. I would advice you to wait.

Answer 6

I think that most marriages at such an early age don't survive.
The two of you are looking for your niche in life, trying to find out who you are, what you will do for the rest of your life, etc, and more often than not, as you grow, most grow apart and not together.
I'm not saying it couldn't work out, but the odds are against you. Outlooks on life, personal tastes and alot of other things change as you grow older, this even happens with older married couples...
I'd take a long time to think about it...

Answer 7

yeah but do you love him?? I'm only 21 and my boyfriend and I have been together for 6 years. I love him, but now he thinks we are not right for eachother. Theres not really anyway to know if it will work out, you just have to see. I don't think 18 is too young, you've been together for a long time.

Answer 8

I don't and you shouldn't. You "really like him"? Sounds very immature. Marriage is about so much more than really liking someone. It is no fairy tale. Grow up, go to college, find out what kind of adult you can become and then you might be able to make a better decision when it comes to marriage.

Answer 9

I think it's a bad idea. In a few years, you will be looking around, wondering what you missed. Another thing is that I noticed you stated that you "really like him". Marriage is about a deep, unconditional love that signifies a life long commitment. It goes beyond the realm of "like".

Answer 10

I think that is way to young to be getting married. You should live your life a little before you settle down. Get an education so you have something to fall back on should it be needed down the road.
