Is it to young to get married at 21?

Deja Vu!

My wife and I got married @ 19 and we are still together we are now 26 and we are happy, that doesn't mean you won't have differences b/c we do but you have to be willing to work through them if you love each other. Yes it is okay to marry at a young age.

It depends on the people. Some people are way too immature at 21 to handle being married. Others can handle it at 18. I was 21 and hubby 19 when we got married. It was a rocky start, but we've made it almost 6 years and I've never been happier!

I moved in with my wife when we were 21 and we married at 22. 18 years later (19 later this year) of marriage there is absolutely nobody else I want to be with. And I work with a woman who married her husband when she was 17 and they've been happily married over 20 years. Every marriage will have it's share of problems but it boils down to how you work those problems out. Don't let anyone tell you it can't work.

I got married at 21. Yes I think it is too young. You haven't really experienced life yet. I'm 28 now, I am still married. But I won't tell that it has been easy to stay together. And some days I wish that I had waited!

Say it like it is

Lots of people get married at 21, but then again, they also realize what a mistake that was and are divorced before 23. I suggest one wait at LEAST will the end of their 20s.

My personal belief is that 21 is too young. I was married at 21, and by the time I was 30, I was smart enough to realize how stupid I was back then.

Marriage is wonderful and fulfilling, IF you're prepared to work at it. Most 21 year olds don't have enough life experience to know how to handle the tough issues that crop up in a marriage.

not easy but it is possible if you are willing to work to make it a success

It may or may not be young, considering. I know people 21 and less who have good jobs, a good head on their shoulders, and are responsible enough to handle the trials of marriage. On the other hand, I also know people in the late 30's who STILL couldn't handle trying to make a lifetime relationship work. The main issue is maturity. As long as both people are of legal age to get married, then the only way the age should matter is if they plan on having alcohol at the reception. XD

yes it is ok . there are couples who are married at the age of 18 and are still going strong at the age of 21. you are in the risk of getting a early divorce if you dont know what your doing but who isnt you know. if you know you love that person and the other person feel the same way about you. go ahead and live your life.get married

Nope I got married at 19 and he was 22. and I'm still madly in love and married! Go for it!

depends on your emotional age. Let me put it to you this way - girls have given birth at age 12 at times throughout the course of history...is 12 too young to become a mother?

Just because something is possible doesn't always mean it's recommended or that it's a good idea.

I think it is to young to get married. You barely know yourself. Your likes, wants and needs will changes so much by the time you are 25 then 30. I did it but I would not recommend it.

My mom and dad have been married for 16 years and they were 16 and 19 and they love each other but for some reason they told me that they were dating for a while so I'm guessing that if you date for a few years and you know absolutly know then get married.
But also the reason people look down on it is well because we need to protect our children from reality because in the past past people got married at 18 years to 16 years and there marrages lasted

Get married at 21 is really young. You have barely lived your life at that age. For the people who get married that young the should wait a few more years, and If they really love each other a few more years won't hurt.

I got married at 19 and I am still married happily... the question you should be asking is weather or not you would like to spend the rest of your life with that one person, if you will love them even when they are sick.. can you look after another person and put their needs before your own... if so then you are ready to get married no matter what your age... if not then wait a little longer...SB

...starryeyed...

No, getting married at 21 is not too young. However, you really need to think objectively about your relationship though and evaluate whether or not you think you two will be able to make it for the long haul.

I got married at 21 and we've been together for 3 years now. There are tough times but, if you two understand eachother enough you will make it. We are still as much in love as we were when we got married.

I do want to point out however that if you are asking "if it's ok to do" you may not feel confident enough in your own decisions. You know better than everyone on yahooanswers whether your relationship is strong enough and if you think you can make it or not, have trust in what your gut feeling is.

No but please realize that you have the cards stacked against you at such a young age..people change and you or your partner might not want to change with you...takes Lot's of communication an flexibility..good luck!! PS treat her like the last woman on earth!

Age is a matter of mind. It doesnt matter if you dont mind.. It isnt set in stone at which age, it's if you feel ready or not...

thesweeteststar

NO! If you are in love , do it. Why let peeps stand in your way?

Marriage was the last thing on my mind at age 21. Some people make it work though.

My sister got married at 19. She turned 20 the next month. Her husband was a year or two older. They were happily married for 28 years. They probably still would be had he not died of cancer. It really depends on the individuals and how mature they are and whether they are ready mentally and emotionally for this kind of commitment. It seems most people would be better off waiting a bit longer, but my husband and I got married in our early 30's and I am sorry to say, it did not work out.

Don't get caught up in your age,but understand that this is a serious commitment and you two have to be stronger than tank Armour.Love her for who she is and make sure that she can do the same.I appreciate my wife and sometimes I want to go off,but I know she's always in my corner,and I realize there are so many ways to approach problems. Keep your communications open and be honest with her....always.You might be ready. i wasn't but, as I got older I learned from experience and understood there are two people in this house,not just me.

It's ok, but risky... I'd ask you to examine the reasons for wanting to get married so young. Few couples are ready, but that doesn't mean that no one is :)

Gabby C.

well it isn't against the law but it depends on how serious you are in your relationship

Nikki

Um...I think its too young! Y not go enjoy the world before settling down?!?

green31

I think it depends on how long you've been together. My sister got married to her husband when she was 20. She had been dating him since she was 15. She is 41 now and they are still married and very happily in love still.

I married my first husband when I was 19, he was 23. We only made it a year. We dated for two yrs. before marraige.

You just never know. Marraige is hard work that both parties have to commit to and work at every day. Never go to bed angry, dont take each other for granted, always be there for each other no matter what.

longfingers99

yes, get through college and work in the "real world" for a year or two and then at the age of 24 you should be ready for marriage. always remember marriage is a big decision.
