Question

Answer 1

No, I don't think that you should marry at 16 maybe you could ask him to wait about a couple of years untill you both are mature enough to make this life changing decision. Think about it let say that you both did get married okay and it turns out that you really do not know him as well as think you do and you are desperate to get out you realize maybe this was not the best idea in to world yes it felt right then at the moment but will it feel the same in the future. If you are questioning the idea of marriage now then maybe you should wait a little longer
GOOD LUCK with your decision.

Answer 2

There are two things you want to be sure of when you marry: Is it the right guy? Is it the right time? If you don't have both it won't work. Absolutely will never work. At 16 and 17 it is almost inconceivable that this could be the right time, even if he is the right guy. Think about it this way: If you marry now you'll probably be together a year or two. The odds are way against anything more than that. If you marry at say 22 or 23 you've got a good shot at the rest of your lives! You will both be better off if you take the time to mature as single, independent people.

Answer 3

Sixteen is way too young. I'm sure you're probably sick of hearing that, but it's the truth. Wait until you're 21, if the two of you really love each other, then five years from now you'll still be together. At 16 and 18, you're both too young to understand what a serious commitment marriage is. It's not something you 'try out' for a few months and then decide, 'Well this was fun, but I've had enough.' Marriages between teens very rarely last long and it's usually because they rushed into it. Take it slow and wait a few years.

Answer 4

Getting married at 16 is not always a good idea but it can sometimes work out. My ex's grandmother was only 14 and his grandfather was 15 when they married and stayed married for over 50 years. I had a neighbor who was also married at 14 and stayed married for 55 years. The man that I am married to now, his sister was also married at 14 and has been for 52 years. Getting married at 16 is very young and it may not always work out and you will be giving up your teenage years and having lots of responsibilities that come with being married.

Answer 5

I got married at 16, husband was 18 and we've been married for 11 1/2 yrs. My in laws got married at 16, and they've been married for 36 yrs. I guess it just depends on the couple. He may love you, but Why not wait a tad longer so that u can get your schooling done? Financially it will be hard, I'm not gonna lie. If someone really loves you, then they will want to be able to support you, Don't u think? Just take your time and don't rush things.........

Answer 6

I had my first child at the age of 17, and I wish so much that I had waited to have him. I have missed out in so much in life from traveling, getting a descent eduction, to just being able to grow up gradually except all at once. I know your not having a baby but trust me, u will be letting all this go just like I did. I say whats the rush. Do it the right way, go to school, get a successfull career, then have your dream marriage.Do this and u might have a fighting chance of having a marriage that last. Remember, a marriage that last is built on a firm foundation.

Answer 7

I think so. If you are serious about him and know that you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him. Then yes. I got married at 19 and I am still in love with my husband. I am 28 now. Good luck

Answer 8

WAIT I couldn't stress it anymore stronger. I am going on 22 and getting married, I still feel 22 is young to get married.
Why get a marriage license before you even have a drivers license. Your "high" on love, wait another 5 years. If you love him, wont you love him in 5 years.

Answer 9

The odds are not with you.

You two will both change, become different people, and grow apart.

Marriage does not "fix" problems, it creates them. If you two are both serious, and really love each other,then staying together, getting to REALLY know each other, and getting married MUCH later won't be an issue.

Answer 10

no. getting married that young is dumb. I know someone who got married at 15. (she was prego and the family was old fashioned) it only lasted until she was 18. You're to young to be expected to know how to handle the adult situations that are going to arise. Dont throw your youth away.
