How young is TOO young to get married?

Question

Do you think young couples who marry are MORE likely to get divorced??

Answer 1

Live together for a few yrs then talk about marraige ! You will get the feeling of being married without the prob of legality. Just try it you might find all the defects before marraige ruins your life!

Answer 2

25 is too young in this day and age. But some 40 year olds shouldn't have gotten married either. Times were different when you read how 'we got married at 16,18,20 and we've been together 30 years'..that's when people got married to STAY married. Today it's too easy to get married and easier to divorce. Divorce is much more likely to happen to young marrieds. Each case is different, but the majority will end up in divorce. Another insight.. the more one spends on the wedding, the less likely it is to last also. Wait until you're at least 27 to even consider the possibility.

Answer 3

I got married at 20 and been happily married ever since. The thing is people go into marriage for the wrong reasons, money, children, etc. When these reasons are not enough anymore then they divorce...Being a military wife, I have met many young couples and many divorce older people....Some unmarried couples see the signs (cheating, drug use, etc) before they marry and yet they marry and want to get a divorce because the person didn't change or stop doing what they've always done...its not age that causes people to divorce, its the lack of compromise, love and selflessness that causes divorce among all ages!!!

Answer 4

I really do not believe age has anything to do with a divorce .Ive seen people in here married at 18 and still married at 60. Then I've seen people in here married at 18 and divorced at 19 so age really doesn't play a part in marriage . I don't even think that if people take there time it isn't going to make a big difference . Either you pic the best person for you or you don't . Time changes people and some just go down a different road then the other . I think a person should just enjoy life as it comes if you make a mistake oh well your just human we all make mistakes.

Answer 5

I think anything under 21 is too young to get married. You need to have your freedom first and play the field before tying the knot.

Yes, I do think young couples who marry are more likely to get divorced. They are too immature to realize that it takes a lot of effort, compromising and unconditional love to make a marriage work.

Besides, young people shouldn't be worried right now about getting married. Have fun, enjoy life, cause once your married, you don't have as much fun anymore.

Answer 6

It depends on the matuity and not the age, but they do often go hand in hand.

Statisticly speaking yes you are more likely to get divorced, but we often know the exceptions and can not live by there logic.

You and your partner have to sit down and make sure you BOTH are adult enough to make a comitment otherwise it will end in divorce. Plus there maybe children envolved too, and now you two will be togather for many years after dealing with your children.

If you have parents others you trust who are extremely honest with you and they say yes! Then marriage maybe for you too at this time.

Answer 7

i know couples who've married young and it worked. others it didn't. personally, i don't see the rush. why not live some life first? find yourself before you find a husband. the reason many couples who married young divorce is b/c they got tied down so early and had no idea what life was about.

Answer 8

Not necessarily. I've seen 40 somethings get married and divorced quickly and I have a high school friend that "had" to get married cause he got her pregnant. They're still married-30 years. There's no magic age or formula for a successful marriage. Let me know if you find one.

Answer 9

I wouldn't rush into to anything. If you are having thoughts that you are too young to be married, you probably are. There is a big difference in our priorities from the time we are twenty and thirty so make sure this is truly what you want.

Answer 10

Yes. because young people tend to believe in romantic love and that love will conquer. Not that way in the real world. When the woman gains weight after the kid or when the old man gets a beer belly. It is easy to move on!
