Answer 1

I got married at the age of 18 and I think that I should have waited because i have been through the ringer with men . now i am on husband #3

Answer 2

i'm 27 & i haven't been married yet. i'm not ready to get married right now nor do i want kids. marrying young is nt a good idea. everything is cool in the first few months or years of a marriage that young. the probs will be what will happen if ur spouse suffers a debilitating illness that will stop them from working? will u stillbe there through sickness & health?? is ur love strong enough to survive money probs that occur?? will u be able to have a budget?? how do u 2 feel about retirement or havign kids in the future??? these are the things u have to discuss before u tie the knot. these issues are too young for anyone fresh out of high school to worry about.

i say enjoy ur youth. date & have fun. u don't have to rush into marriage. its a lifetime committment. i would say wait till ur in ur late 20's or 30's to get married. u will have a better idea of what u want & u won't be in puppy love anymore. when u get married at age of 18 or 19 u really haven't experienced what life is & u may nt feel the same about this person 5 yrs from now as u would today

Answer 3

It's a matter of maturity. My maternal grandparents got married 15 & 29. My paternal grandparents were married 16&20. My parents 21&22. Those marriages didn't end in divorce. Peopl knew marriage meant WORK and stuck with it. Today, too many don't stick with it because of immaturity (and lack of putting up with other's immaturity, which is actually a PART of being a mature person). I will probaby be married age 25&him30.

Answer 4

It all depends on the level of trust, honesty, love, & committment the two have for each other... I think there are many young adults who can make it work! I had a couple in my class way back in the day who married while still in school. They are still married to this day, 21 yrs later. I married at the age of 20 to someone who I didn't love. I wasn't ready, nor did I have any idea what I was getting myself into. I stayed in it far too long, however the best gifts I received are my 2 son's who I adore!!! They are the loves of my life....

I feel that it can work as long as you know that it's a partnership & both parties are willing to tote their part of the load...

Answer 5

Age is a number! What actually matters in a marriage is maturity, understanding, perseverance, tolerance, love, determination and ability to forgive each other's offenses. If you and your partner possess these qualities, the age you marry does not matter!
I will encourage an early marriage. I married at 23 while my wife was 20. Both of us have lived together for 22years with lovely boys and girls. Be determined, the earlier the better!

Answer 6

I got married at 18, my husband was 21.

On the third of January we celebrate our 6th anniversary. I have never once looked back.

Yes its difficult, but life is difficult. It takes hard work, communication, love, respect. All the stuff that every other marriage takes.

We recently bought a home (both under the age of thirty). We are both in college. Things for us are going really well.

Not all young marriages work out, not all marriages at an older age work out either.

Answer 7

I got married at 19, for too young and the marriage did'nt last, he was older than me by 7 years, led me a merry dance, wanted a slave, young girls are easily led and manipulated if there not already streetwise, which I was'nt, but my best friend met her to be husband at school (14 year old) and she has been happily married for 30 odd years now, so you never know.

Answer 8

I've been dating my fiance for 2 and a half years.....im almost 19 and have just recently gotten engaged, and plan on a very long engagement....we are planning on getting married around age 22-23, which I believe is a perfect age

Answer 9

Got marry at the age of 20 was married 33 years, this year I got my divorced finalized. Life will go on no matter what.

Answer 10

It is not the age would be the problem in regards to marriages. Couples needs to know that getting marriage is not a joke but commitments for life. It must be for people who are matured enough to handle and manage a family of their own. They must have stable jobs to feed their family without any help or assistance from parents or anyone. So I suggest any one whose age is matured enough and had already completed college degree to easy find a job to feed a family?

Any individual who is enterested to get marriage should think he/she has the life commitments, obligations, responsibilities to handle for his/her mate and family. In addtion, he or she must be practicing a maximum tolerance, respect, patient, understand and never to criticize nor argue with his/her mate to keep the marriage successful.
