Marrying Young
I am getting married at 18 and a half. I think it is young but this is what i want. One word of advise i would like to say though is, if you have any doubt in your mind about marrying that special person, then wait. A friend once told me, "it`s better to wish you were married than to wish you were single"

Definitely true...I got married young...21. Word of advice: Make absolutely sure this is what you want...don`t do it because he asked you to, or because your parents or friends think you should wait...do it because you want to. Make absolutely sure that you love him with ALL your heart! I was dumb and married after only knowing him three months...I was divorced 2 1/2 years later. I am currently remarrying this June...we`ve been together two years. I know for sure that he`s the one because two years later I still get butterflies in my stomach when he kisses me! I love him very much. Good luck, young one! Wishing you the best!

I feel that if you truly love that person and you are 100% sure that he or she is the one for you, then go for it. I am 17 years old and I`ve been through a lot in life and in relashionships...but finally God has sent the right person my way and I know many may say that we are too young, but we don`t plan on getting married until my second year in college. That`s 3 years from now.....but it`s well worth the wait. I serve a Good God and I trust his match-up plan :)

I got married 2 weeks after i turned 18 and i love it. I am in college which no one thought i would do We are really happy!!! i don`t think age matters, it`s how mature you are and how much you love each other. I feel so blessed that i found my soul mate at such on early age. :)

Hi Esther,
Unless you are absolutely sure that you are truly, madly in love with this person and vice versa, I don`t suggest that you tie the knot at such an early age. You have so much to do - travel, career, meeting lots of people etc. I got married at 23 and at the time was not really sure and have regretted it every day since. I got pregnant on our honeymoon so I was stuck in a marriage that I didn`t want to be in. Thankfully I got the courage to leave nine years later and have not regretted it. I am now eloping in Nov to an absolutely wonderful man and I have no qualms about it. I am very sure that I want to marry him - in fact I proposed to him! Good luck with what ever you decide and remember don`t feel pressured into marrying if you are not ready.
