I definitely think it's not for everyone. I don't think anyone should get married before they are AT LEAST 18. I got married two weeks before my 21st birthday. But my wife and I dated since we were 12 minus a couple years we were apart due to distance.
We will be celebrating our first year of marriage this weekend and it's everything I hoped it would be and more. I have always been a commitment type person, but I know a lot of people my age and many older as well and I can say that a lot of guys around my age are most certainly not ready for a long term commitment.

I got married at 19 and my husband and I are still married 8 years later. We have hit a few really rough spots but with hard work and our church we have worked through it and come out on top. We have been sending him back to school for the last few years and that was hard since he was always gone, but now he's finished and is a paramedic. Now all we have to get through is getting him through the fire academy. I don't suggest that anyone get married young. I know that it would have been much better if the two of us had waited until we were both through college and had good jobs. But we didn't wait and we have to live with that! We have two beautiful children and a nice home in a small town, we do argue now and again, but its always minor. Getting married so young was rough. But together we have grown and having gone through so much together has brought us closer. This is not always the case though. I have a friend who married young as well and they were divorced 2 years later. I really suggest that anyone who wants to get married young should just wait. Live on your own, then in a few years maybe move in together, and then in your mid twenties you can look at getting married. Just wait! People who are 16-20 really aren't emotionally mature enough for marriage and all that goes with it. Its hard to get married so young. Go out and enjoy life before you settle down with someone, have fun, date, go to college, get a job you love. Just wait!

Hubby and I got married when we were 20. Still married today. We had been together since we were 16, had a baby when we were 18, married at 20.
Now we're 26 and have 3 kids.
Do I wish we would have waited??? Sometimes. But I am happy with my life and wouldn't change a thing.

Really, until you are at least 25, out of college and have started your career or chosen profession, you should not really have serious relationships at all, let alone getting married. Between 16-20, you're really too young.

I don't think so because if you get with someone while your young, then the relationship most likely won't last..... maybe in your mid twenties would be a good age, but not like 16-19, you'd be too young and not quite ready to settle down even though you think you are.

Get married when you find your true soul mate, 20-30-50-60...but definitely not @16! Hell you are a kid yourself @ 16!

At a young age like that it's taking a chance, you may not make it and end up divorced. You do what you feel in your heart.

It is good to learn what pain and suffering is at a young age. Then you get remarried at 25 and are realistic.
