I got married at 16 it was wonderful at first,but I want out because I missed so much and he had and did everything he wanted. That was 43 yrs.ago and I'm still with him.I'm 60 now but look mid 40's. He is still jealous that is why I want to get away by myself.He is a great guy,but I out grew him.We are having our share of problems.I should have left yrs.ago.I'll stay because he's sick now and I am a good woman an I know he would never abandon me if it was the other way.So that's my life.But I wouldn't recomend getting married until you've finished school, an did what ever you want take time an enjoy life.Then if an when you marry,at least you won't have any regrets.

I got married 6 months after I graduated High School. We were both 18. I have now been married 6 years and we are still going strong. Any marriage can work if you both want it to. It just depends on the people. I really don't think it has anything to do with age.

I just got married, and I'm 19. I know it will last forever, no doubts. My stepmom married my father when she was 16, and that was 15 years ago. My friends parents got married when they were 14 and 19. They are now in their 50s. I think it matters more about dedication to making it work than age. Love is more than butterflies, and you can realize that at any age. When you meet the right person, you know. My grandparents have been married since they were 16 also.

I was 18, and my wife was 17 when we got married. 30 years 5 kids and 3 grand kids ago. I've loved every minute. My wife is my best friend, my lover, my rock, my all.
If you're compiling a body of evidence to support your own desire to wed young, I must say that it isn't the easiest road to wedded happiness. The people involved have got ot be mature beyond their years, and their relationship has got to be mature too.
All the things that make ANY marriage successful like trust and trustworthiness, love, respect, fidelity, and a thousand other things have got to be doubly strong in a young marriage. You will spend so much of your lives together, that if your relationship isn't rock solid, as you age, you could grow apart. Make sure you go into this with your eyes wide open.
Good Luck

I got married when i was 16 and im almost 21 now and we have a great marriage two kids and will be adopting very soon! It can work its just HARD work and effort. Lots of give and take and lots of talking and you have to keep the fun in it. We are still going strong and will be hopefully for the next 60-70 years!

My great grandmother was 14 when she married my great grandfather who was 16. They were married for 70yrs. My grandparents were 18 and 19 when they were married and have been married 50 years this year. My Parents were 18 and 20 and have been married 30 years this year. I was married at 21 and have been married 6 years. It isn't easy but it can be done.

I know lots of people who have been married 50 plus years and I've been married 39 years and hope for 39 more , They key is respect, and thinking before you speak, not running away the first time your faced with money , children, ill health , loss of job, Work to gather not expecting your mate to carry the heavy load. And for that the fringe benefits are a happy marriage,

I got married at age 18 just after my birthday and it ended after 17 years but only lasted 15 years. We are trying to be just friends now. It is not the age that you get married that matters so much but the respect - devotion-and love that is the glue that holds couples together.

mines lasted four years. My first cousin and her husband lasted 40 years until he died. they married when she was 16 and he was 18 three sons and he worked and provided for them very well.. I know another couple she was 16 and he 18. they stayed married 32 years , never separated and divorced after 32 years. He worked and took good care of the family. She said she was tired of being married all of her life. Now all of these are examples of young marriages. Years ago women did not leave so easily. They stayed for the children's sakes. But women became more independent and learned to take care of themselves. Therefore they stop taking the bull of of the men. But the men also worked and took care of their families. So you make it , Take it are get rid of it.
