do you love him enough to be "stuck" with him for the rest of your life?
I mean, seriously, does he have the ability to earn enough money to support both you and-- let's be realistic here-- your future children???

I know that most people will tell you you have to marry someone you love and I completely agree, except, how will you find happiness when sunk in poverty? Love will feed you and clothe you? (maybe--no)

My second point is, once you get married, your care-free (well as carefree as it could possibly get) life style is gone. You will have to do all the things that you think maybe "your mother" does. Just ask yourself, "do i want to be like my mother?" (i know how that sounds)

Marriage is the end of "you" and the start of "us". If your boyfriend is in his early twenties or the same age as you... say "NO". You would arrest his development in his career pursuits by giving him your hand. may be suggest to him that you would wait a while and see what happens, meanwhile, he could get a start on working on his aspiration and his career ladder and you could study more efficiently or do whatever it is that you still want to do with your life before being chained into a heavy commitment such as marriage.

Personally, I think a marriage that young probably doesn't have a chance. Sorry......this is my honest opinion


Molly
Yes you are..
It won't work out if you say yess..
Wait a little longer and see what happens.

You are the only one who knows the answer to that question.

Yes you are. You need to finish college and get a job before you commit to marriage. You need to be able to stand on your own two feet and support yourself.

i cant answer that for you its your decison i wouldnt get married at my age im 15 or at 19 cuz i have things i want to acomplish before im married but if you want to then go for it. you should ask yourself questions like do you really love him do you really wanna spend your life with him are you ready do you need more time it all depends on you if you feel like your not ready but you love him tell him that your not ready and want to wait awhile before getting married


x...Yesss...x
if he is right, then age doesn't matter - if you love him that much and are that dedicated to him then what does it matter? if you want to be with him for a very long time then go for it, howevery, if you feel you are not yet ready to mak the commitment or do not feel confident with your age then tell him that - if he loves you properly he will understand you X

If you truly love him, and can see yourself with him FOREVER, then i don't see why age matters.

Ask yourself : do i want to be with this man the rest of my life ?

your answer should come after that.

if you know that you eventually want to marry him, you can always have a long engagement. Try moving in with each other first, see how things go, but take your time in actually tying the knot, in your engagement time, it'll give you a chance to live with him, get to know him in that aspect, see if this really is what you want, if not, atleast then, you know your not committed and break off the engagement. but point blank, if your not ready, then don't do it...

Does he have a job. Can he support you? Are you ready for children if they come along. marriage is a lot of responsibility.
I do not know how mature or financially ready you are.

If you are asking advice because you are unsure i think that speaks for itself,i married at 20 and it has lasted but i never had a single doubt,it sounds as if you do so i would say no for now.

Honestly, I would probably say yes, but I got married at 21 and my wife was 19. We just celebrated our 37th Anniversary. It depends on are you both truely in love. Are you mature enough to give and take with another person. It has to be give and take on both sides, not just one way. My wife and I dated for 2+ yrs and became very best friends, for me thats why it worked. Also, lots of forgivness to each other for our mistakes. Make sure you date for 2 yrs, the rest of your life is a long time, especially in a bad relationship.

yes yes yes, i'm 21, and was propose to two months ago by my 20 year old boyfriend, i shrugged off the question, so a few weeks later he asked again, i said i thought we were too young.
Now 2 months later, he's dumped me because he thought we were gettin too serious and he want's to be single and spend time with the lads, fair enough
you need to experience life (and i dont mean sleep around) before you know what you want for the rest of it otherwise you have no comparison.
Good luck though, hope it all works out! x

This is a pretty young age to get married...this stage we find everything colourful and nice abt that person but fail to act with maturity. Later in life we lament on this decision..first build you foundations for ur life..ur career..if he wants to b wit u he will support fo this and not against this..


Jessica J
Tell him that you want to finish college before thinking about marriage.


Crunchy Mama
I think it really depends on YOU. Do you want to? Do you think you're ready? Have you had big talks about marriage and the future? What he wants in the future and what you want?

If you think you're ready, then I'd say go for it, as long as you've both spoken in depth about marriage and one another's expectations down the road.

I got married when I was 19 years old, my husband was 20. We have been happily married for nearly 30 years. If you love him, (be Positive he is the one for you) go for it! People nowadays tend to wait way too long to make that commitment... and end up in relationships that carry alot of baggage. We had no baggage because we were so young.


David A
dont think about now...
think about how your future is going to be if you do get married.
the problem is not your age.
the problem is, do you really want to get married? is it really worth it.
you have a whole life ahead of you. and this is a pretty big choice.

You are not to young, unless you know you aren't ready. I got married at 19 and I've been married for 7 years and have three children and I couldn't be happier. You are the only one who can answer this question. Everyone has their own opinions, but I personally think when you feel its time to get married, no matter what age you are, you should do it. Don't let that someone pass you buy. Listen to your heart and good luck :)

it's really your decision. i think you should wait a few more years, if you really love the guy then say yes now I guess, or tell him that your too young and that if he really loves you he'll wait a few more years.

19 is too young. at least know each other more before saying yes because if he loves you then he can wait longer until the right time comes.

19 is too young. But, it's not too young to be in love. If you are completely in love with this young man, wait for him. You guys need an education first and this will provide solid footing for your future together. Your 20's are typically for self discovery. You cannot fully give your heart until you know your heart.


curiouscanadian
Personally I wouldn't commit to anyone that young. The reason being that is in your mid 20's you will be a completely different person than you are now and probably find that your marriage isn't what you really want then. I would at least wait another five years - what is the rush?
