As you know marriage isn't for everyone. It is something you have to work at. I got married at 17... no regrets. I didn't have my first child until I was almost 20.
Marriage shouldn't be taken so lightly. It is too easy to get divorced now.

I met my Melissa Garza when I was really young... we were born and raised in the same town... didn't spend a lot of time together growing up but both had some very difficult life experiences... very challenging... and all the time we would always know each other... and were great friends... then after I joined the military and had some very life altering situations... and have one very beautiful daughter from another marriage... Melissa and I re-met and everything fell completely into place... I knew she was the one and I was stupid to even have waited that long... I love her and always will and it has absolutely nothing to do with age... I think it is considered 'early marriage' when the both of you aren't ready... and we all know age doesn't neccessarily mature and grow everyone the same... some are ready before others...and we were both ready when I was 26 and she was 19... it all depends... I don't think anyone should rule things out... age can't tell character 100%... I love you Melissa

Most of my friends who were married young, are divorced and some of them married for a second time. If I had married the man I thought I was in love with when I was 20 years old, I'm sure we wouldn't be together anymore.
I did get married when I was 25 years old, and we've been married 4 years, and things are good, but we also appreciate that for a marriage to work you can't be selfish. It's about compromise and give and take. Marriage is hard work.

I don't think it's such a wise idea, because it could be because of early pregnancy or because they believe that they're in love. Teens always get the idea that what they're experiencing is true love and that they'll be together forever.
I'm not talking about all teens, but most teens just do that. I had a friend who proposed to his girlfriend because he thought that she was the girl of his dreams. The girl accepted, but left him later because she wanted to finish school first. I think he was like 16 when he proposed. He's 17 now, and is still waiting for her to finish school. It's so pathetic, though, because he feels that he has some sort of obligation to be with her no matter what, and then the girl says that he should date other girls until she comes back, which threw me off guard, because that's such a lame way to say, "Forget about me, and go be happy."
I just don't like early marriage.

It all really depends on the people involved. I got married at 18 and it was divorced a year later. It was a big mistake.
I got re-married at 20 and I am still happily married 9 years later.
So it can work if both people are ready for the issues marriage involves.

Personally, all marriage is silly.
Why prove your love with a piece of paper? There are unfair advantages to people who choose to follow this tradition and it proves your love for a person no more than the couple who choose to love and live together.
Early marriage is tough, because you have little life/relationship experience and cannot make a careful enough decision as to whether or not you really are completely compatible.

I agree with pheiticeira
Most marriages that I've seen have ended dismally. Lots of heartbreak, lots of stupid things said and done in the process. On the other hand, I know several couples who have never been married but have been together for 30 or more years, and they have the strongest relationship I have ever seen in two people. You don't have to be married to be in love, and being married doesn't prove your love for another person.
Marriage in general is completely unnecessary to a relationship.

The fount of happiness (fascination and granted permisssion to have sex) or the beginning of a mess( too young to understand whats going on with them). In any case marriage is totaly unnecessary.

lets see...you asked about perception? i perceive that its a bad idea. whether or not it actually is a bad idea is besides the point. i think most people who answered you feel the same way i do: young marriage in American culture is generally perceived as a BAD idea.
