how long should you wait to get married when you are both 19?

Mommy of 4	Wait until you both have your Bachelors degrees

SuzyQ	Wait until you are done with college, have traveled some and have a decent job.

janicajayne	Wait until you both have your Bachelors degrees.

Butch Cassidy	Fifty nine. Seconds.

Schmitz	if you are committed then anytime is fine but at that age you think you can handle the rest of your life with him?

~TwilightAddict~	You should be together for 3-5 years, and then make your decision. 19 and 5 months is to soon.

~KGB~ Kaitlyn's mommy	When ever you feel its right. How well do you know him. I had friends who knew that they wanted to get married right away but waited until they were together for a year before getting engaged.

say it all...	After you both finish school. Once you know you can support yourself and he can support himself - then you can get married and support each other...

sandandy	My husband and I were 17 and 18 when we married. We had only known each other for six months. We have been married now for 25 years. I don't think there is a rule, just fallow you're heart and don't give up.

â˜†Loveâ˜†	you have only been together for 5 monts..your 19..whats the rush? in another 5 months you guys can never be speaking together. Give it a wile there no rush, your not in hollywood where u can marry adn divorce just like that.

shmook	5 months is a little short...I think you should be together at least a year to two years to make any kind of decisions, I do think however if you love someone you will never not love them, just don't get love and LUST confused. Good luck

blue heart	first of all make sure you guys have jobs. and working on a career. and you guys should wait till you get a sort of degree first. please dont get married! you will regret it! you guys are young go have fun! enjoy yourselfs before you get too old.

*â˜®MÎµlÎ±niÎµÆ¸ÌµÌ¡ÓœÌµÌ„Ì¨Æ·Â¸Â¸.â€¢Â´`â˜®â™¡â˜®â™¡â˜®â˜®â™¡â˜®**	5 months??? 19??? Oh my......listen to me! I'm 35 and have seen a few things.... please get to know him better. I'm still dating a guy after almost 5 years, and still learning! You have to really get to know someone for YEARS first. Age 19 is sooooooooo young....you truly will change in your twenties so much. You should wait, wait wait!!!!! I would never even consider marriage until at least age 30!

GGB	After you finish college - have a job and can pay your own bills independant of wach other and parents. ESTABLISHING YOURSELF IN A CAREER -means your a mature adult. You still have a long road to travel. Here are the facts: Marriages' do not make it these days. Honestly you are really not mentally mature-Really until 25 to 29

Jerry B	Until you have both lived apart from your parents and each other for 5 years. Leanr to take care of yourselves, independently from each other first, then you know you can make it on your own. once you've done that and if you are still together, you have something that just might work.

board42	I think you should date for awhile longer, even living together is the best first step to marriage. You never know how someone Truly is until you lived with them. Also you change a lot in your 20's. Things you like now, your feelings and attitudes all change. This can include relationships. Take your time, you have so much life ahead of you. You never have to jump into a marriage.

Mama to Henry and Pammy	11 years. He is a boy, not a man, and at 19, he is highly immature, and quite frankly so are you. Don't throw your life away by getting married as a teenager, you will live to regret it!! However, if you want to live out your youth with no education, no money and bring a bunch of kids into the mix b/c of poorly thought out choices as a teenager, be my guest.

tanya r	The best thing for you to do is wait until the time is right and you got a lot of time to get married i am 22 yrs old and i have been with my partner now 4 11 years and we are on about getting married when we were your age and now we have got 2 wonderful kids with each other one boy and one girl but our daughter has got a heart defect named HYPO PLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME

Maria	Let me just tell you from my own experience. I was engaged when i was 19 to the most wonderful guy. I am now 38 and married at the age of 27 to someone else. When I look back being engaged at 19 I was so inexperienced and foolish to even think about doing something so huge. You are so young but you won't listen cuz you think your in love. I could only hope for you both that you will realize this huge step. You have so much time in your future to get into marriage. You should be dating others or stay the way you are right now without any ties. Trust me neither of you want to sow your oates with a ring on your finger and young children at home. Please enjoy your youth. I'm so glad my decision way back then was to. good luck

Omne	trust this in 5-10 years from know you both are going to have a completely different view on life where you are compatible know the question is will you be in ten years not to say the love is not there right know but will you have the same wants needs and desires in ten years as a married couple.

karrottop_sen	I got married when I was 19, but my husband was 24. Since he is 19 too I would say wait a while longer (till your both 21) because boys are more immature than girls are. My husband even acts more immature than me sometimes. Haha! I had also been dating my hubby for a year, but I knew him like 2 years before that. (I met him when I was 16). But ultimately it's your decision. If you both think you're ready then do it :) Good Luck!!

Foreva Fly Child: C.E.O of P & S	The first few months of any relatinship is always great so give it som time. It's not a real relationship if you don't go thru because when you do finally come across hard times you'll be ready to throw everything in. I say make sure it's real love first off and second make sure you're financially stable for it.

cassiemw84	Well, they say that the brain doesn't finish developing until the age of 22- at which time the frontal lobe has completeed development. The frontal lobe of your brain helps you understand the consequences of your actions. Which is why as a teenager I did a lot of really stupid stuff!!! I would say that the best thing for you to do is go to college, graduate and then if it's what you want get married! But you need to do what you want to do first, before getting married.

xgurl3eb	whoa, 5 WHOLE months? no way! My fiance and i are 24 and 23 respectively, we've been dating for 6 years and were friends for years before that, wait till you're actually adults to get married, i know you're probably excited, but wait at least a couple of years, otherwise you're still just in hormonal, puppy love stage and you have no idea what each other will be like in normal everyday life. Plus don't you want to have champagne at your wedding, you've got 2 years to wait before that can happen.

semper0521	I'm sorry but there is absolutely no way that you can know that you want to marry someone after 5 months, ever. Sometimes it will work out for the best if you rush into things, but most of the time it doesn't. DO NOT RUSH INTO A MARRIAGE UNTIL YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN. I'd say at the very least, 3 years together is a reasonable amount of time.

valleyprincess121	There is nothing wrong with being in love, or engaged. I do however believe that 19 is entirely too young to actually get married. If you truly love each other, then finish school, I suppose the two of you want a good life? And get started in a career. You don't want to have survival jobs, be living together, trying to finish school, wind up pregnant....See where I'm going with that? Be responsible so that the two of you can have a great life with each other. Don't doom the relationship before it has a chance to blossom. If it's meant to be, it will be meant to be two years from now!!!!! Good Luck, and I hope you will take the advice!!

Miriam	Well, maybe you'd like to be able to legally drink alcohol at your wedding, I don't know. But do remember this: getting married won't keep your relationship together any more than not getting married will break up your relationship, and it does take some time for a couple to get to know each other. If your feelings are solid, then there shouldn't be a rush, unless one of you is joining the army or something.

Zarg222	at your age - I wouldn;t even think about getting engaged until you have dated at least 18 months - at 5 months - you're still in the new/exciting stage of the relationship - are either or both of you in school? - you have to think about getting education and/or a solid decent paying job with good benefits - the economy is in bad shape - unemployment is at a 14 yr high - last thing you should be thinking about is marriage right now

Kt and J	I was 19 when I got together with my now husband. We were pretty sure at that time that would be together. I probably would have married him then but we thought; what is the hurry when we are still so young, we still had a few separate goals to accomplish, and whats they hurry if we have forever. Now almost 9 years later (we just got married 3 months ago) I would suggest that you wait. It was the best choice we made. We were there for each other, we helped each other complete our goals, traveled together, and finally when we both had finished college, got great jobs, and could afford to support ourselves, and felt like a baby was in our near future, we got married. If we would have gotten married earlier we wouldn't have felt so financially secure,which could have led to problems, we wouldn't have been able to live on our own, we probably would have never traveled to Australia for 6 months or had gone to Mexico 3 times. We are so happy we waited, life is great! I hope this helps :)

VCL	5 months is not really long enough to be thinking about getting married. You should be finished with school and have decent jobs so that you can support yourselves and not have to depend on anyone. You also need to be prepared for the responsibility of a possible unplanned pregnancy. And you also need to fully understand the seriousness of the commitment that you will be making to each other with your wedding vows.
