Do you think 18 is a early age to get married?



    




Eds
Crazy,
Not if BOTH of you are committed to such a relationship and you are willing to make it a lifetime commitment. My wife and I were 18 when we married and we are now in our 33rd year with three children and two grandchildren. GOD has really blessed us both! Have a great life.
Thanks,
Eds

Go out and experience life first part of that is other guys if you still feel the same way in a few years do it

Perfect age for a first marriage. You'll be split up in a year and it will keep you from doing something stupid like getting married too young all the way until you are 28 or so.

Avoid having children during this impending disaster. That way when it ends, inevitably badly, you can split the dishes and go without protracted legal battles.

Have fun.

Yes, it is too early


Mr.Boombastic
I do. While it may seem like you've experienced a lot by that age, it really comes to a surprise how much life there is left to live. Marriage really will force you to grow up immediately and, trust me, you want to enjoy your youth as long as you can. Now I am not condoning avid dating or sleeping around, but simply saying what is the rush? If you two love eachother, stay together but there really is no need to get married so fast. Everyone changes over courses in their lives - some more than once. Events, moments, encounters, etc. can be a factor in shaping who you become. At the age of 18 you are still very influenced and still developing internally. You two may grow apart or grow together. But don't make such a committment until you both are absolutely sure that that is what you want. There is no harm in waiting.

i know that, if i had married the boyfriend i had at age 18 (i remember i wanted to) i would, without any doubt, be divorced by now. when you´re 18, there´s still so much to see, so much to experience... there is no need to hurry. if your love is true, it will wait.

Yes, definitely. I got married at 18 and it destroyed me. I wasn't ready to be a wife and he had no clue how to be a husband. We divorced after 11 years. I would never, in a million years tell any of my children to get married until they are at least through college and into a career. Marriage can wait.

Entirely too early. You probably don't have much of an idea of who you are at this point in your life. Take your time. If it's meant to be, it will work out.


Cricket
YES

Yes too young, if you love each other what's the rush. Get to know each other, then if things are still going well and you're able to work through your differences I'd say go for it, when your like 23-24 years old.

I met my hubby at 17. i was at the best time of my life. But I knew he was my soulmate and I didnt want to let him go, it was now or maybe never. So we got together and I had my baby at 18. I got married at 19 and am happily married. Im 20 now. I love my life and my family. But sometimes I talk to my old freinds from high school and I miss hanging out and doing teenage stuff. Sometimes me and my husband fight like all couples do, and in that moment I want to be a regular teen. So if you guys truly love each other and dont mind missing out on all the teenage fun then go for it. Just remember that eyes are going to be on both of you just waiting to tell you guys its not going to work it. So if your in love then show them that your love will surpass it all.

Yes its too early to get married at 18. In that age, you should be in college and get a degree and enjoy yourself.

Once you get married, you lose mostly all your freedom. Take your time exploring and go slow.

I got married when i was 18, my husband was 22. It depends on the person, if your mature enough to take care of yourself and think your ready then go for it! I have no regrets, I've been on my own since I was 16yrs old and know i dont need a man to help me in life so if anything happends im ok, but marriage life is great! Good luck!

Yes,you have not even experienced life,and will change relationship preferences as time passes.Wisdom has to be present for a marriage to last.


Red Rose
Not if the couple is mature for that age and are sure what they are doing. That means they have a job or jobs and can be on their own. If they have to live with parents after the ceremony.. Then they are to young.


ladytaurus5339
Yes if your not pregnant ? But NO if you are!


yolanda_tate
Back in the day people were married by 14 or 16. You still have a lot of growing to do if you feel he or she is the one and love will not change marriage can wait. What's the rush?

Yes, about 10 years too early. Don't get tied down at an early age. you should be out there having fun and hanging out with friends. Look at all the divorce stories in here because they got married too young.

I MY opinion it is.

When you are 18 everything is pink!Great age to be in love:)!I wonder for how long you have been togheter!wait a little more just for your own interior confort! My grandparent were married at 18 and loved each other ultill death but my friends were married at 19 and divorced in 2 years.Have fun now and feel free so you will not feel the need to be free when you're married and have kids!Good luck whatever your decision will be!


The_New_Mrs_G
Yes I think it is even though it is legal. I think you need to have plenty of dating and life experiences before tying the knot. Marriage is a lot of work and previous life experiences can help you when the going gets tough.


twirler
Yes - U'll be divorced at 40!

The perfect age is 85 when your life is over anyway!!! Take a an honest look at all the married couples you know are any of them still truly in love!??! NO and most of them are miserable. Do you want to be like that? I know you think your love is really special so did they!!! If you have to get married make sure you have a prenup, a good lawyer and a shrink!!! Good luck!!!
