is it wrong to marry at 18? and the guy is 25? major in love!!?

Answer 1

Most marriages with the guys a little older seem to work out. The whole maturity thing. Just make sure you are ready, because even though most people don't seem to think so today, marriage is a lifetime commitment and a lifetime of work.

Answer 2

It is legal I will give you that. But what is the rush? You are 18 don't jump in to a marriage at 18 you might regret it. You need to explore life a little bit before settling down at 18. I would decide the facts how did the idea come up? What you need to know about marriage is that it is a life time commitment. Don't jump in to it you barely begun your exploring. try dating awhile longer a year or two longer. i was 22 when I got married. And married 8 years. it is a working process and i think gtting married although legal may not be the right time for you. How long have you know this 25 year old? With out knowing that it makes things difficult. You are young still don't rush it take your time. Date him for 2 years see ifyou still want the same things in life and see if you still want to stay with him.If at 20 and him at 27 still feel the need to be married, then you may be ready. but make sure you are truely one hundred percent ready to get married. and i don't think you are ready just yet if you are asking that question. It isn't wrong to marry but it wrong towant to marry the first peron you fall in love with who treated you good. there is a 5 year age gap between you and can cause problems. he may be ready to have kids and your still at the exploring your self age. if you think you done all there is do to know what you want in life then you can say yes i am ready to be married. just take your time in getting married to some one. make it a 2 year engagement. If you still feel he is the one you want to spend the rest of your life togethor then go for it. I just don't see who a 18 year old fresh out of high school has maybe had some puppy love boyfriends, really be ready to settle down with a 25 year old.

Answer 3

Well....major in love might buy you a drink but it won't guarantee you a healthy marriage when you are so young. You need to take charge of your life and find out where you really need to go....college, career, etc. and learn what it is to be an adult. At 18 you are still pretty much a child with so much to learn and grow into. The world isn't about high school any longer and "going" with someone. Marriage between two people requires knowing if you have the same goals, do you want children, how many, careers, religions. Do you communicate and compromise well. Is there mutual respect and understanding and of course, there can be no abuse or addictions. Give yourself a chance to experience adult life before you make adult decisions.

Answer 4

Wrong? No. It's totally legal. Stupid? Absolutely. Eighteen is TOO young to get married! Heck, I think 25 is bordering on too young! Can you support each other? Trust each other? Do you have the same goals, wishes, etc? Let her get through college and if the feelings are still there, then by all means, it's only a few more years. If not, then at least you didn't make a huge mistake that ruined both of your lives. Give it some time.

Answer 5

Marrying at 18 is too young. First you have to become your own person before getting married. Do you have an education? Do you work? Do you have your own car? There is a lot of women who find themselves trapped in a bad relationship because they married too young and now they're with no resources, no money, no job and can not leave an abusive husband. There is no hurry for you to get married before 20 y/o. Give yourself some Independence, it`s a gift that will last you for a life time.

Answer 6

I was 19 and my husband was 22 when we got married. We meet when I was 16 and he was 19. We were married for ten years we had two girls & divorced when I was 29 (After been separated for 2 years)
We were too young even if we were sooo in love. I do not encourage really young people to marry. I think you could wait a few years.

Answer 7

No, but you should really be sure that you are both on the same page about all aspects of your future life together. Education, Career, Kids, Income, where you're going to live...you don't want any surprises. All of these things are as important as being in love, and if you don't see eye to eye about something then you should compromise and wait until you do have a clear answer

Answer 8

If your really in that much love, than waiting shouldn't be a problem. It should be enough just to be with each other. Just be in love and marry later when you're both settled and know exactly where life is gonna take you. What does it matter if your married or not, if your gonna be together anyways?

Answer 9

you guys should stick together but hold off on weddings until you are older. Being eighteen is a very young age and although you might think you know a lot, you'll regret making mistakes by jumping into a marriage at such an early age.

There are rare circumstances where people marry this young and have life long marriages but it is very rare in today's modern society.

Answer 10

Takes a LOT more than love to make a marriage work.You need to date for a yr or 2 and get to know each other better, see each other as your really are AT YOUR WORST.You need to decide if you both want kids or not, etc.No sex until your married.
