the only advice i can give you is do some living first. do all the things that you have always wanted to do before getting married. high school relationships never last and 1 year is not a significant amount of time. get a few years of college under your belt first and then see where you end up. |

i dont, its a controversial topic, but i personally have found someone who i want to spend the rest of my life with as well
as long as you not only love him, but want to spend the rest of your life with this man, then go for it :)
good luck :) |

The outlook on that kind of marriage isn't good. Not because you dont love eachother, but because people change so much between highschool and getting into the real world. |

Yes, it's too young.
If you marry over the age of 25 your chances of STAYING married go up substantially. |

Legally 18yo isn't too young to marry, but emotionally and financially is a different story. Have you ever heard people say "I thought I knew him, but after 3 years of living with him I finally found out who he really is"? At your age, a year seems like a very long time. The problem is that it sometimes takes way longer to really get to know a person. We often fall in love with "being in love", more so than falling in love with the person we think we know. From a financial standpoint, do you both have careers that will allow you to live somewhat comfortably? What about if children happen to come along? Will you be able to afford to care for them comfortably without relying on social services? Too many marriages end due to fighting over money matters so it's best to get the careers started first. |

I think it is more of a maturity question than an age question. I would not recommend getting married at 18 for anyone. You still have a few more "life changes" to go through. College, a real job, and leaving the house have made me a much different person than I am now. I would not have been married long if I had married my b/f when I was 18. I loved him, but we became different people, and it would not have worked at all. |

Mid-20s minimum imnsho...I got married at 19 and it was the dumbest thing I could've done. There's a huge difference in being a kid and being an adult, and a person needs to live that change and experience what it is to be an independent adult, having adult relationships (dating around) before deciding on a long-term lifemate and settling down...
Marriage when you are quite young has a higher chance of divorce and cheating...one or both parties start to wonder after a while what they missed out on by not being single adults for a while and socializing, dating, and partying on an adult level, before getting serious about a relationship.
My advice is to wait a few years...get your career path going forward and learn who you are as an adult, before you move into sharing your life with someone else... |

It is not about a number it is about the maturity of the people. I do think 18 is too young not because of your age but because what you want now will change dramatically in the next few years. If the two of you are meant to be together forever, which is what marriage is waiting will not destroy that connection. It will only make it stronger because you know in your heart that it is right. |

Well, there's no *right* answer to this question. I think it's silly to get engaged before you even graduate high school. I'm a completely different person that I was while in high school. My high school *sweetheart* and I were together for about 7 years, and over time, we just changed. We were not the same person we were when we were so young, and just COMPLETELY not compatible anymore.
However, it would be nice that someone know how to spell 'proposed' before they actually get that far.... |

♥ I think if you and he are both financially, emotionally, mentally & physically able to handle a marriage then you are not too young. If you are having any type of financial [[or other problems]] then I would wait. Good Luck! |

No it is not too young. Just realize there is more too it than being in love, because the excitement of being in love will not last forever. Marriage is a partnership in life. You take care of him and he takes care of you. You be honest to eachother and forgive all his mistakes, and you could last forever. Any marriage can last forever if both people want it. |

Its probably too young. You still have more years to fully mature. But..if you think your mature enough for marriage..make sure you are emotionaly & finacially stable.. |

Ok....statistically....yes most marriages between people that young do not work out. Mostly because people's ideas of what they want in a spouse change so much between people they date and a lot of people haven't dated to many people by that age to really know. But, I feel that it's up to you and how you feel. If there is any doubt in your mind, don't do it. You will end up regretting it. And just make sure you are ready for that step. Marriage is a big commitment. But if you feel ready, go for it. And good luck to you. I hope you don't become another statistic. |

I think that you should be at least 22 to get married. There are so many things that change between 18 and 22. If he really wants to marry you, then he should respect your decision to want a long engagement (if that's what you want). |

You need to be at least out of school and working and able to support yourselves independently of your families before you undertake the responsibility of marriage and family. You should be mature enough to understand the ups and downs of living with another person intimately and the commitment level one enters when one marries. You need to know how to manage money and budget, how to communicate with one another, and how to resolve conflicts that will undoubtedly arise. In other words you must be a mature adult.
If you are still in school, you have no business even considering a marriage proposal. If either of you plan to go to college, you should think long and hard about marrying before you complete your education.
You need to discuss when and if you will have children and how you will raise them. You need to discuss your expectations for marriage and the future (that includes not just kids, but careers, where you will live, how you will live, etc.).
This is a decision that will dramatically change your life and will change it permanently. It is not to be made lightly. |

Yes and No. It is really how you feel. If you know it is right then go for it. I know friend who got married right out of HS and are still together and that was years ago. But at the same time you are still young and I remember when I was 17 I dated a guy for 2 years and even lived with him and we talked about getting married someday. Well we are still friends but not a couple I had relationships after that and married someone differ. If anything tell him you love him and if you do want to marry him say yes but tell him you want to wait atleast another year or two and just be his fiancee for awhile and then if you are still happy go for it. Good Luck. |

First of all you should stay in school and learn how to spell proposing or at least to use spell check. Second, it's not about age it's about maturity and it seems that you are not ready. Marriage is a big committment that requires trust and takes lots of personal sacrifice. I think the trust thing may already be a problem if you "just happened" to see the ring. And you should enjoy being while you can. |

Honey, yes. You are too young. Have FUN. He wants to keep you from escaping. You need to get out, explore, grow as a woman. If, in the end, he is the right one, he will still be there. You don't need to be married at this point. Maybe it's just a "promise" ring. |

Yes, I think that is too young. I don't think ANYONE should get married until they've had the chance to LIVE a little, experience life, be on their own, have time to define who they are and what they want in life, and gain some independence. Women especially need to learn life skills such as living on their own, budgeting for themselves, paying their own bills, etc. It's NEVER a good idea to go from a house where daddy has taken care of you to a house where your husband takes care of you. Because one day, you'll look up and what happens if/when the marriage fails and you're on your own? That's why it's soooo important for women to fully know who they are, be mature, and gain independence before getting married. If you love one another, then your love can wait until you've both gotten a college education and some life experience. |

I think you should be at least 20 years old if you are going to marry someone, but if you really want to you can because you're 18 |

I think its to young. Im 19 and my man and I have been together a year and a half. Im waiting till at least 21. A year really isnt a long time. People change constantly and younger people are more prone to say good-bye instead of "lets fix this". You are still in highschool and thats all you know. live a little and grow up some more before you rush into this. Marriage doesnt make you "grown up" at all. You may want to be with him forever now but who knows 2 and 5 or 10 years from now. Besides, do you really want to risk getting popped for underage drinking on your wedding day. Even a toast of champaigne is illegal..lol |

honestly im not much older than you are...im 20 and my fiance is 23 and we are getting married in may...but the thing is...you really dont know someone until you live with them...you learn alot about someone in the situation.....i would recommend that you totally get engaged...thats awesome but i would wait maybe until you have lived together for at least 6 mnth if ur not living together now...but yeah 18 is a little young but you are an adult so it's pretty much up to you!! good luck |

It various from person to person to be honest with you.. Some people get married young, some people get married super late.. Its a matter of realizing what your giving up to be married..You can no longer be single. Sacrifice is the key word.. If your willing and able and realize the water your stepping into, then go ahead! But do not forget that marraige is a lifetime commiment, and not a I don't feel like being together anymore, so i'll get a divorce. |

depends- my mother was 17 and that was 36 yrs ago but in general I think at least 23 which gives them 5 yrs of "adult life" but again it depends on the people. Some people probably should neve get married while others can make it work at 20. |
