Find answers to your legal question.





are we too young, cuz i don't think so?

me and my boyfriend of over two years are planning on getting married next summer in august. we are both 18, and will be 19 when we are planning on getting married. we are both going to the same college, are very motivated and mature for our age. we were going to wait til after college, but we just want to be with eachother so bad. we see eachother everyday already and there is barely any fights. we already have a plan about paying for an apartment (which is cheaper than living on campus anyways). i know most ppl will say "you're too young" but i don't think we are.

any advice? my mom is not too sure about getting married so young... any way to sway her?

any personal experience, good or bad? thanks and wish me luck!

If you still have the need to sway your mom toward anything, you are 100% too young to get married.

Too young. Look around you. Ask all the divorced people you see why thier marriages ended and how old they were when they got married.

Dont listen to anyone that is trying to knock you! My fiancee and are both 22 or at least i will be on the 29th of this month and we wanted to get married earlier but we didnt. We are now trying to get married nxt month. I dont think your to young. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you really love this guy then it really doesn't matter what other people say or when you get married. However my mom and dad decided to get married when they were still in college. My mom is now (almost) 39 and will be graduating from college this July.They had every intention of finishing college but however i was conceived on their wedding night so it made it a little difficult for my mom to go to college and pay for me. I would really suggest to wait, but at the same time my parents have been married for seventeen years and are totally in love. If you really think he is "the one" then go for it.

haha my dad always has told me that he will never pay for a wedding unless i have a degree. How about that?

I am 19 and ever since I was very young I just wanted to be settled down. My first boyfriend I dated from the age 13-15 and then my second boyfriend I dated from age 15-17. So you can see I was very comfortable with long term relationships. Then, when I turned 18 I met the man of my dreams and we unexpectedly got pregnant after only knowing each other for a little while.

We got married shortly after when I was still 18 and it's been a fairy tale ending.

Dating lots of people isn't for everyone. People like us know what they want and feel very comfortable in a momogomous and devoted relationship. good luck!

well to me, i honestly dont care about what age, as long as youre together but i would wait because the more time you spend together, the more argueing, like Jessica & Nick Lachey, the more time you spend, sure the more happiness and fun but bickering and fighting follows too .
so idunno i guess it depends on how much youve thought about it and how much you love him and how long you guys have gone out


Puhleeze!!!
I have yet to see a marriage work that started off that young but it's not impossible. I'm nowhere near the same person now as I was at 18 yrs old. You won't be either & the same goes for your boyfriend. Why not wait a while? I know you want to be together but if the odds are already stacked against you, why not give it some time. People aren't telling you to wait because they want to be mean, they're telling you from their own experiences & from other people they know. Don't take it personally.

I suggest living together first, because people are so much different when you move in. I suggest waiting till after college because you have soo much extra stress along with college. Move in if you want to be together so badly, that's better i think. Breaking up is a lot cheaper than a divorce.
My friend dated her ex-husband for 5 years, then they got married and they could not stand living with each other. So best to live with each other than divorce.
If your mom won't be swayed easily over living with each other, get an apartment with two bedrooms, you don't need to sleep in seperate rooms, it will just give her peace of mind.

i got married at age 21 ,financially it was very difficult but if you love one another truly and both of you will stay in college and you both graduate and get your degree, i say go for it. just get your degree and get settled before having children.

Try the move in first. You learn more about the person when you are around them everyday 24hours a day. Try that for a year then see if you are still ready for marriage. That's my advise.

i got friend that i planning things EXACTLY like you! In my opinion, I rather get married when I finish college; even if temptation is TOO big. Personally, I wanna get married at 21 or 22.. people thing that is a bit young, too. But, admit it.. even some 13 years old think they are amture when, even if they are, they might get in trouble.
I'd do this: get married NOT by churh, but by the government first, and then if after a few years eerything seems to go on track, I would get married in church (since you can only marry once there and as many as you want by law)
by the way, if you would really REALLY wanna do this, would you really ask for others opinion?

While two years may seem like a long time, it's really not. I suggest waiting a little longer, maybe perhaps another year or two, to see how you guys are about college, because college and planning for the future really does make a difference.

While it does seem very romantic to be with each other when there's so much passion in the relationship, sometimes the best thing to do is to wait, especailly to see if you can manage when the heat dies down.

If you two really love each other than a wedding license won't change your relationship and it wouldn't hurt to wait. That way you can also save money and have a great big wedding.

both of you maybe mature for your age but still it's too early.. waiting would be the best thing to do...
like when you're a junior than get married
my cousin got married right after high school.. she had a kid and she ended up dropping out from college because of her family to be a good mother to spend time w/her two boys
now tht they've grown up.. she's finishing her studies and becoming a nurse and she 32 or 33

It really depends on the couple. some people get married that young and are too imature to stay in the relationship. I got married really young and I am still married. And my husband and I are like yall, we barely have any fights and things are great. I would not have changed what we did. Just remember that yall will have to work hard to keep the relationship strong. And I would pray about it if I were you. And ask people around you that know the both of yall what they think. Since they will know yall a little better than the people on here.

Before you get married you need to get counseling and make sure the two of you share values, ethics, morals, and money management principles.

Everything seems rosy when you're young and in love, and while it's hard to believe, people do grow and change.

If the two of you disagree in how to handle finances, you will have a long hard life until one or the other of you gets sick of it and files for divorce.

I'm not trying to be a wet blanket, I'm just trying to give you some perspective that I wish I'dhad when I was younger.

If you can't talk to your boyfriend about these things, then he's not the right guy for you, move on.

Best wishes to you, and above all, don't sacrifice your college education for ANYTHING. Boyfriends come and go, but the ability to support yourself and to have an education and do what's meaningful to you can slip out of your grasp faster than you can say "I Do".

Marriage is a big step, but your never too young for love.
Think if two years is long enough to move toward a lifetime comitment. But if you truly believe that you two should be together, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

If your mom gets on your nerves, then just elope.
She'll get pissed at you but calmly explain how she didn't approve and how you love him. And then you'll have a tv moment hug.

I think that all that matters is that you love each other. Screw everything else...But if you are questioning this,maybe you should think it over. And even though mom's may be annoying,it's always good to take their advice. Maybe she has a point. I think you and your boyfriend should sit down with your mom and talk about it. Listen to her side and tell her your side. Hope it helps!

i really hate that "you're too young" crap. really, if you love somebody, i believe there is no such thing! just don't listen to anybody else. just continue to show your love for your boyfriend and you mom will have to relieze that you are ready.

good luck and best wishes(:

I would advise you guys to wait, if you see eachother everyday and everything is fine.. then why get married? Wait if you can.

well most young marriages dont last long
wait til 20 or 21 and then think about marriage, until then get engaged.
you should know eachother alot to get married

That's really really young to get married. It really depends on your sureness and maturity level, and you say that you're both mature. It's really your decision. If you both truly love each other and agree on things like children and stuff, then go for it. Best of luck.

It depends on how long you're willing to wait. I think you should wait to experence things, and travel before you're tied down with kids, etc.
