Am I To Young To Get Married??????

If you have to ask, then yes you are to young. When you are ready to be married you will know it. Different people mature at different ages so I don`t think it is right to specify an age. However please give your relationship time to mature before you make that decision. When I was your age, I thought I had the man of my dreams as well. We had been together for 5 years when I started college; I thought he was the greatest thing God put on this Earth and I knew we were going to get married. Needless to say over the next couple of years we grew apart. Now that I am engaged to the true love of my life, I look back and think about what my life would be like if I would have married the first guy and the wonderful person I never would have met and I am eternally grateful that I waited! I hope your relationship works out, just enjoy where you are now and a few years from now if yaou are still as happy as you are right now, you will know when the time for marrige is right. Please don`t rush your life and dont settle!

Obviously....you aren`t ready to get married. I`m not sure you`re read to date.

You just need to follow your heart. I waited 8 yrs till my man porposed and we had our rocky times through the years and i was only 16 when i met him and thought my world would be over if i didnt marry him by the time i was 23. But now that i look at the past i am so glad we waited. We are finally getting married this year in Disney World and i do get to be a princess like you have been treaded from your fiance. I wish you the best of luck and do remember to follow your heart!!!!

I got married at 19 and we are going on 6 yrs of marriage we have 2 kids. We have bad times but there are also the good times that you have to look at. If you want things to work you have to put time and effort into it!

I do not believe that you are to young to get married. I am also 18 going to be 19 and I will be getting married in 3 months. My fiance is in the military and we have been together for a year and known each other for 3 years. My family thinks I am too young and his do not. I think that I am ready to make that decision and I will. The question is do you think that you are to young? I also believe that it depends on the maturity of both parties and the affect that it will have on them. So you have to decide what is best for you.

It is "TOO young", not "TO young"! How can this girl base one of the most important decisions of her life on advice from people who can`t even spell!!

I am 22 years old and madly in love with my boyfriend of over a year, but marraige is not in the future any time soon. I would love to marry him someday and have a family, but not now. A few years isn`t a long time to wait to spend the rest of your life with someone you love. My recommendation is to wait a few years, have a long engagement. That way you can also save up more money to have the wedding and honeymoon of both of your dreams, instead of settling for something less because you couldn`t wait to be married. Best of luck!

I raelly am happy for you, i 2 went throught the same thing but things didn`t work out after all. I think that you should really wait and take your time, you are young still and still have a lot to experience in life. People change over the years and both of you have a lot of growing to do still. In a perfect world you will grow together and stay together if you really try to understand and except that you both will change. If you look at the facts you will see on average that 9 out of 10 couples who marry young, do not last after the first year. Look at the bright side there is that 1 chance and i wish you the best. I wouldn`t rush anything, time will tell....so take it easy and be safe and i would learn as much as possible together if you really want to spend the rest of your life together. Because if you dont have a strong fondation with a great education to build on you will not last. So good luck in your choice and i hope i helped.

I am about to ask my girl of 4 years to finally marry me and i know it is right. You see she is my 3rd 4 year relationship and i have never felt it was right till now and i wanted to marry each one.....so take your time and do it right the first time. And if he really loves you and you love him then there is nothing you both can not do together. Good Luck

I don`t think that any girls that still have word "TEEN" in their age number should even be responding to this question! As much life experiance as you think you have, I`m here to tell you, you don`t! You`re 18 years old, you are going to change considerably by the time you hit 25. Answer this question..... What makes your life happy? If the only answer you came up with is HIM, then you`re definately NOT ready to even be in a serious relationship. You better know how to love you first before you go on trying to love someone else.

People aren`t saying you`re too young because they`re trying to be mean. They really do know because they`ve lived it. When you`re 28 and tied down with a couple of kids and your husband isn`t as wonderful as you pictured him to be, (when you were 18) don`t say I didn`t warn you! Don`t be stupid please. It`s so easy to get married, so hard to get divorced.

Hi there,
I am not going to tell you one way or the other, because obviously I don`t know you or your circumstances. I am, however going to tell you that I think I WAS you. I am now 21-and I have been with my fiance for a little over 5 years. When I was 16, I wanted to get married right when I turned 18, I was so in love with him, and were just crazy for eachother, and then again when I was 17 and again when I was 18- and thankfully, we didn`t do it. We have lived together now, over 4 years. I left High School, because my parents moved and I didn`t want to leave him, so I took a lot of tests and graduated early, and went straight to college at night, and began working full time. He was working full time and going to school full time also. Our lives chantged dramatically. I can`t even begin to tell you the way people change, sometimes, you can barely equate the person you first met with the person you love now. We are to be married in May this year and I think about how NOT ready I was when I was younger. We own our own beautiful home and I have been working in Real Estate for 3 years now, and we are stable and financially secure, and he is starting Medical School (he is a little older than I am )- but we talk about it now, and we both agree that if we would have got married when we first wanted to (because we were madly in love), then it would have resulted in divorce. I can`t say for sure, but I wouldn`t have been prepared for the changes to come, there were things that I needed to learn before I could committ to someone forever, now that we are getting married, I realize that being together for 5 years and being friends for 7 years was what we needed. Of course I knew him well years ago, but better safe than sorry. I do not want to have to get divorced and whatever you can do to help your chances of a stable and happy life, you should look into them. At 18, your real world experience is lacking. Do you have money in the bank, are you educated, do you have a good paying job so you can have your own financial stability, should something happen to your partner? Have you completed premarital counseling? These are things that, for your own benefit, should be taken care of. And I have to agree with the first few people, in saying that if you have to ask, you are probably not ready. You wouldn`t be asking ifyou were leading an adult lifestyle, and self reliant. Get into college, get a good job, and see if yoiu are compatible in a year, you will be amazed at how things can change. Best of luck to you, feel free to contact. Remember that it takes a long time to get to know someone, and the honeymoon phase lasts atleast a year, after that, real life settles in, and you have to learn to how to be best friends, not just lovers, please take your time, it will only make you stronger. Because honestly, getting married this early in the relationship (in my opinion) makes you appear very immature and unprepared. Waiting was the best thing I could have done, I am so grateful, and I love him more because of it. We are getting married now for different reasons, when i was your age, it was because I was in love and I couldn`t live without him and he treated me like I was a queen, and just couldnt wait to be his wife! Now, 5 years later, the reasons are different, I am in love with him, he is my best friend, I love his company, and I love his intellect, and his goals and his ambition, he makes me feel like we just met, all the time, and he has been loyal to me through all these years, ups and downs, and I have seen his bad side, his weak side and I have seen him conquer fears and yet maintain his integrity and honesty, and I want to spend my life with him, he is my family, and I want to build a great life with him. See, the reasons really do change, just have to give it a chance to let them. It won`t hurt to wait, it can never hurt. If he loves you, he will wait for you.

Just consider what you are saying :-)

I don`t think you are too young. I am just like you, 18 and going to be 19, and am getting married in August. If you feel like he`s the guy for you and that you are ready to get married, then don`t let anyone else tell you not to. It`s not anyone`s life but your own.

I do not think you are too young to get married. As long as you are financially stable and have a concrete plan for the future, then it will work out. Think Logically about every single aspect of you two being united and seek counseling.

I am 20 years old. My fiance is 20 years old. We got engaged last may when I was 19 and he was 20. We have been togeather for almost 5 years. I personally do not think you are too young!

I`m 18 and madly in love. I know for sure he is the one, but I`m not ready to get married. I have so much faith that we will get married one day that I don`t have to think about it now. Sometimes people think, well if I marry him now he`ll stay with me forever. I see it like this... If we are SUPPOSED to be together, we wil be... Why rush it? I won`t judge you if you get married young, I certainly have nothing against it. Just make sure you know that he is the one and there is no other person you could ever end up with. Also, he is the one for you. Make sure you are both finacially stable and can afford to make it on your own... A steady job is ALWAYS a good thing. I had a friend in 9th grade. She left my school after freshman year, got married, had a child, and got a divorce...all before she graduated highschool... Now she was NOT ready for marriage. You might be. So best of luck to you both, and remember...in the end...it`s all about the everlasting love you have for eachother, the marriage will not be the thing to bring you closer, its just a symbol for others to see it, too.

Yes you are too young to get married when you don`t know when to use the correct form of TOO! Life is too short to just run off and get married at 18, 19, 20 etc. Go to college get a life and live a little! If he loves you he`ll still want to married you after you all have lived a little. And I don`t mean date other people, I mean live, decide what you want to do in life. Above all that I have said no matter what decision you make, have no regrets. Good Luck

Thats how they all act dear, once your are married it`s a whole diffrent story

The bottom line here is if you have to ask, you ARE too young. Please, notice that those who are telling you to wait are older than you-this is because we have lived similar situations and learned from them. At age 18 and 19 you feel mature-I remember that feeling-how could I grow up anymore than now? Believe me, it happens. You will grow soooo much and actually become an individual in the next 5 years. It is only when you can experience life (whatever that may be for you-traveling, college,etc) that you truly know what you want and will be able to offer someone the best of you. I`ve been there. Please, trust me. I thank God every day that I didn`t marry my boyfriend at the age of 18, 19 or even early 20s. I`m 26 now and about to marry my REAL love who gets me at the prime of my life. There is so much more to life than what it seems right now-you owe it to yourself to experience that.
