For example 17-18? Does it usually work out?

Why would you want to? I mean, there is plenty of time to get married. supposedly, marriage is supposed to be forever. that is a heck of a long time when your 17. I think most young people that get married early have a romanticized idea about marriage. Marriage is one tough job. and i do mean job. then put on top of it, your going to have money issues, friends that are going out and doing what "normal" teens do, and maybe even a baby wayyyy earlier than you planned. You have all of the time in the world, dont be in a hurry to grow up. I would bet the farm that if you got married, you would regret it. thats my opinion.

Well i think most young marriages end in divorce. But personally i married right after my 21st birthday and me and my husband are still together and plan on staying that way. You both have to realize this is a commitment to eachother and can be very hard to deal with. Times can be good but times can be bad as well and you both have to be ready to accept all the challenges that are ahead. Commiting your self to one person for the rest of your life is no joke and should only be taken when seriously ready for it. If its meant to be then it will last married or not so my advice to wait even just a few more years.

In this day and age, rarely. Divorce has become so commonplace and easy that marriage and divorce is practically the new way of dating. Young couples marry right out of high school, and divorce before they finish college. It's not uncommon to hear about second, third, even fourth marriages these days. The world has become so fast-paced, especially the Western world, that marriage has become another meaningless throw-away. In some societies, like the middle east, marriage is still a binding union, and younger couples might have a better chance of staying married simply because society expects them to, and divorce is either impossible or highly frowned upon.

In todays mordern culture its to easy to separate where as years ago it was alot hard to separate so people worked at there marriages to keep them together.. Plus the person you are how at 17 - 18 will be a very different person when your 25 - 30 soo your live styles may not suit each other.. Am 31 an am only starting to think now that its a good age to settle down with someone

Married at 19 coming up on 7 years together. It was probably harder because we weren't as mature as we thought. But we are still happy and have never separated. I don't think it's an age thing it's how willing you are to work on it when times are hard. I mean we've watched our friends who were married later in life separate, divorce, and re-marry etc.

Statistically, you have very little chance of making a marriage at that age work. You may feel that you are ready. But you just haven 't had the time to garner the kind of life experience it takes to deal with all the stresses and interpersonal problems posed by marriage. Go to college, get a job -- and have some fun. There's time enough for marriage later.

It depends on how young you are. However if you do marry at a young age you never really get to explore life in finding out who you really are. Personally I would wait cause you never know there is always someone out there that will love you even more.

Many of the answers about statistics here are correct. But it really depends on the maturity level. You should sit down with your partner and figure out what you both want in life. make sure you agree on things I would also sit and ask for guidance from your minister if you have one. I have two close friends (two couples) that married that young and both couples are as in love now as they were then. (40 years later) So ya never know!

At the age of 17, you are still a child (you are not grown yet) and have not had time to be a child. Enjoy your childhood, then when you grow up in a few years you can get married.
People are always trying to grow up too fast and then they regret it at the age of 25-30 because they never had a real childhood and didn't get to have experiences, so they are miserable.
Cheers
