When my parents married in the sixties, they had been working for years, so marrying at 22 was no big deal. I want to know why these days, all you 18,19,20 year olds are desperate to get married now, before travelling, working, and further education. What are your thoughts?

I don't really need to know whether you think it's a good idea, I just want to know why people who are young are so eager to

well what the point in a relationship if you dont think you will end up married. i know i dont want to be with some one i know i wont be with for ever. besides when your in love with some one you want to be with them fore ever. and their is more to life than traveling,work and school. plus you can be married and still travel and go to school. as long as you have no kids right away.
as for working you are going to do that the rest of your life. so why not enjoy the one you love with it. it wont stop you. just make it a little harder and some times more fun. oh that right you guys want the easy way out.

We are both happy we waited to get married until now. It gave both of us time to travel, get a great paying job and settle down and mature. We are 34 and 33 now and If we had gotten married 10 years ago, instead of this up comming Sept, who knows if it would have worked out or not.
Every day we are thankful we waited because we met our soulmate in each other.

it totally depends...marriage has everything to do with love...understanding..respect...and ofcourse ability.Marrying young is not a problem if the couple knows what they are doing..if they have it planned and the understanding is well.by any means...education is a must to secure both of their future...together or seperate that may be.
i want to get married when im 23...that's like after 3 years...cos i know life's already beautiful with him and it would be even more after that....i dont want to waste any day than its necessary(so that we can complete our studies)...

They think playing house is cute, and I think several just want a way out of mom and dad's house. But look at the divorce rates! No one can tell them it isn't all what it's cracked up to be.

I think that you shouldn't get married until you are finished with your schooling. In my family School should always come first. If you don't plan on going to college, it is fine to marry after high school, but if you plan on getting a master in something, wait until you get that diploma.

well, one of my friends got married when she was 13, but the marrage didn't last. i guess people seem to think they're so in love that they want to spend the rest of their lives w/ them, but they don't c the ugly side. heck, i thought i was going to marry my first bf.

This is why they are called "young & dumb" and "cannon fodder" and "disposable assets" among other things. There are so many of them and they are so dumb and they give us something to play with and sharpen our claws on.
