Not really. I got married when I was 18 and am still happily married 11 years later. It just depends on the people and how committed they are.

It's not a matter of right or wrong... it depends on the couple. A lot of people will say that it is too young... but do they know everything you have been through? What you are feeling? Plus I have found that with matters like this... it's easiest to find out on your own. I got married when I was 18 years old. And I have been married for 2 1/2 years. So only you knows if you are too young or not.

Probably dear. What you think you want now may change. And even if you are committed you may not know how to meet your spouses needs as you grow up together. Take some time and learn about your self. Stand on your own a little while and let your sweetie do the same. You both need to be independent before you depend on each other. My husband and I got married when we were 19 and we are in deep trouble now (almost 14 years later). What do your parents say, mine said wait. I didn't. I don't regret the happy years or the children. But the heartache. I do so very much regret that.

It depends on a lot: Are you truly in love...How long have you been together...do you understand all the responsibilities and changes...Do you feel ready to share your life and devote yourself to that other person. They're all things you need to think about. And PLAN PLAN PLAN...what's gonna happen after the wedding? You need to know where each of you stands on a lot of things (having children, raising children, working) My advice: Be absolutely sure it's what you want, go into with a "divorce isn't an option" attitude (too many people now go in thinking "well, if it doesn't work I'll just file for divorce and try again") and try premarital counseling.
Best of luck
P.S. I'm not saying you're a bad person if you get divorced or that divorce is never right. It's just not good to go into a marriage considering divorce. Didn't want to offend anyone!

yes. much too young.
That's not to say that it's impossible. But it takes two very mature people of that age to make a marriage work. YOu need to go into realizing that you and your spouse will go through a LOT of changes over the next 5-7 years as you "grow up" even more. The way your spouse is now, the things they like, their ideas....all may change. You need to be able to allow them to make those changes (and mistakes) without judgement.
Change is not easy for people. And changes in our spouse, particularly ones we don't necessarily like, are even more difficult. You really would need to go into a marriage that young (or any marriage really) totally committed to working through ANY issue that comes up and really understanding the whole "for better or worse" promise that you make.
Marriage isn't about "Well, let's give it a shot and if we don't make it, we can always get divorced". Marriage is about "I love you and no matter what, I will work as hard as I can to make this work and not give up just because I'm tired, my feelings are hurt, I don't get my way, etc....."
My advice: Wait until you're 25 if you're a girl and 30 if you're a guy. By that time you have a good idea of who YOU are and your spouse has a pretty good idea of who they are. There shouldn't be too many surprises at that point. :)

I do. 19 is still so young. I'd advise living on your own for a while, and exploring life. I wouldn't get married until at least 25. I changed so much between 18 and 25, and 25 to 30. Your priorities, wants, and desires can drastically change in just a few years. Wait a few more years until you're both more mature, and have hopefully grown in the same directions.

Yes. I was going to be 20 for one month when I was supposed to get married the first time. I am soooooo glad I didn't get married. Even a few years later, I was a different person. I had grown and matured and didn't want most of the things I thought I did when I was 20. What is the rush to get married? Being married doesn't guarantee you will be together forever. In fact, if you do it too soon, it almost guarantees that you won't.

It depends. My grandparents go married at 18 and have been together for over 60 years! I got married at 21 and divorce 9 years later. It depends on how hard you BOTH are willing to work on your relationship on a daily basis. You change so much in your 20's that it's hard to tell if you will be remotely close to the same person later in life. But, if you have to even ask in you're old enough, then you should probably wait.

I think that if the person and their partner have talked about what and where they want to be in 10 years. Maybe they are ready. It is really important if you both have the same beliefs have plans for the future and are ready to work hard at making it work. Marriage is not easy. Yes it can be wonderful but It is a lot of work. I suggest pre marriage counseling!!!
Good Luck and God Bless
