is 18 and 19 to young to be married?

Adam Smith	yeah, i would have gotten married at 21 but i guess if youre in love and know that you want to spand the rest of your lives together its ok

Caryl Ann W	Not if your happily in love and got enough money to get married. but you need to be living together really or make sure you have a house of your own after the ceremony

andreamclellan	IT DEPENDS IF YOU WERE READY FOR IT, AND IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER NOW, UNLESS YOU WANNA GET DIVORCED......... (sorry, caps )

~i~luv~pâ™¥ndâ™¥s~	No. i have planned to get married at 18. I once knew someone who's mother married when she was 16. mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjCZDSIwmxFqXcnzGc3ggE3sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090514151529AAeoZ0w

Satellite.of.love	No, i think if it was right for you then that's fine. Every situations different, so aslong as your happy it's alright.

Vivian	wow, 18 & 19? I think that's young, but if it's true love, then it dosn't matter of the age. as long as you love eachother. (;

[â˜…]Super.Starr.[â˜†]	well, it's all about opinion. i think it would depend on the situation and if i thought you were ready. but if i don't know you it's hopeless.

FutureGuy	naaaa. love makes everything right. and dont care abt wat people think, if u think it was a right thing to do, it was a right thing to do.

SuzyQ	Yes for some and No for others. It depends on the individuals and how well they gel as a couple and family. I have an ex sister-in-law who married at 15. She is still married 30 years later. It can happen.

David	Seems like you got married because you had a baby, the kid is 4 and you been for 4 years? That'd be the more shocking part. Its like you 2 got married because you had to.

Random Bobâ„¢	Over 4 years is very good, congratulations. Unfortunately, statistics show that the younger you are when you get married, the less likely you are to stay together

Oceans21	It doesn't matter. As long as your happy to be married. Just remember that there are people that get married at the age of 30 and still get a divorce. All that matters is that you are happy within the marraige.

Rooster	You're never too young to be married, only too immature. So it really depends on whether the 2 of you were ready or not and only the 2 of you can make that decision.

Pauliz	I think it's to young, but It can be effected by culture and religion. So most people might say it is too young, but it really depends on you and your spouse. If you think it's ok go a ahead but advise doesn't hurt :3

cat_heros@sbcglobal.net	Yes, it is very young. At my place, (U.S., CA) people usually get married after college. Around 24 to 30.

1225	if u are happy other peoples opinion dont matter but i wouldnt do it. marriage in my experience never works out it ruins things so i wouldnt get married. i think its jus so embarrassing to have a big huge wedding and then end up getting divorced. i would never show my face again if that happened to me, but it wont cuz i wont " get married" its so superficial. jus live ur life and let things happen without all the getting married crap

LaRussaS10	yes it is very young to be married because both you and your husbands name is in everything now and you still have to go to college and make money. and you already have kids. but it is your choice and it seems that you are doing okay with being married young. overall it is too late now

Nice guy	I would say generally yes but there are always exceptions. Marriage is a decision that requires maturity and soul searching, and few people are able to do this seriously in their teens. But even for much older people it might be difficult. So if you are happy, then just stay that way!

d[-_-]b	i think its the pefect age to get married cause you spend more time of your live together idk why people wait till they are 30....that is not a good age...you dont enjoy your marriage like when you were 20 and when you are still young...you can maake more fun things and enojy it moree!! u convinced me i will get married at 19 :B

Rainie Daies	well, personally i think it is but marriage is a life-long (sorta) commitment so the people getting married should be sure about it or now. but i don't have any problem with people getting married at that age as long as it's not illegal(of course). but it's natural for people to be shocked. don't worry. and actually, my brother just recently attended his friend's (she's 19) wedding.

Cadillacman	It really doesn't matter what any one else thinks. What matters is that you have a happy and successful marriage. Your marriage is happy and successful not because of what other people think, but because you and he obviously think well of each other and you are both working on the marriage. I wish you many more years of happiness. Go in peace. And always remember: -- Jesus loves you. Sincerely, Uncle Floyd

<3	For most. You may be going through a bit of "teenage love". It's an age where it's most likely to end in a divorce, because when you are 18 and 19, you're more likely to play "games" and have dramas in your life, the maturity isn't all there yet. But for the lucky few, it's possible to stay happily married. So I suppose my answer is, it's too young for most.

Who Am I?	YES! A person so young can legally get married but really is giving up their single time to get to know themselves more fully and to experience the world, work, traveling etc. Most people tend to change as the years go by. I say to most young folks, don't be in a hurry. If you have a great marriage, you are very fortunate. Good luck to you and yours in your future!

Lexie	Yes that is way to young. Have you ever been to Italy, Greece, India, London, Canada, whatever Country you want to travel too, have you seen different places? How many states have you been to in the USA? Did you go to college and graduate after four years with a degree? Are you going to have a good job? Well guess what now you are 23 years old and happily married with two children and unless you are whealthy i am sorry to say that you are stuck untill your children get older to have any fun for yourself. What are you going to go away on vacation and leave your children behind? That is not how it works! Now you have to be a working mom, and instead of going out drinking every friday night you have to take care of your children, why would you want to leave your babies with someone else? I bet yuor marriage wont last to be completly honest but i hope you make the best out of it and try really hard and be a good example for your children. I think that was a big mistake because now you are a mom and have to be a very responible person, and don't get to expirence what everyone else does, and took a part of your life away from yourself. Honestly what was the rush, you could have done so much more and then had children around age 26-28 but that was your choice, i dont reccomend this, because you cant take back having children at such an early age, and they should be the most important thing to you in your life, no one else or anything else come before your children and at 23 years old you have to handle that. Well Good Luck !

Florida Orange Juice	Most people aren't emotionally or mentally mature enough to make good decisions at that age (the decision-making part of your brain doesn't fully develop until you're about 25) so for most people, that's too young. However, it sounds like things are working out, so good for you! You seem to be one of the lucky ones.

nicepuddin	People change so much over the course of their lives - you can change as much in your 20s as you do during adolescence. I guess people think that at 18/19 you cannot comprehend how you will change in the future. Making something that is supposed to be a lifelong commitment at a young age is thought of as inadvisable because of the changes you go through in young adulthood. However even if you were 28/29 you could, of course, still grow apart. I also think people think you have a lifetime to be tied down, so why do it so young when you don't even know what else is out there.

ark	Sometimes. It depends on the people. If you've been married for 4 years and still happy, i'd say you are doing better than a lot of people who get married much later in life. If you are compatible for each other, treat each other with love and respect, and are mature enough to handle the responsibility of marriage, then you are not too young. You may change as you get older, but as long and each person puts the other first and considers their feelings above their own, you will have a happy marriage. if people are rude about it, tell them that you agree that it might not work for everyone, but that you have a happy marriage and don't regret it one bit.

.	I think it can be a risky move for many couples and that in most cases this would not be a good choice, but there are always exceptions to the rule as you and your husband appear to be happy. however, i think that at that young of an age you should have your whole life ahead of you to experience new things on your own instead of starting a new family of your own. i hope you and your family continues to live a wonderful life. :)
