YUNG & MARRIED

[nwimo]

hELLO ppl    ummm I have A question...May I have A answer please?...Is an 18 years old too young to be Married?

Generally, yes.  Some people may be mature enough, but 18 year olds are usually not.  Besides, why don't you experience life more before taking on all sorts of responsibilities.  You will probably regret one day not going to college and having fun before settling down.  I am 68 years old and have been married for 47 years, and I have seen a lot of young people get married and then the marriage fails shortly thereafter.

In my opinion, people who get married at a young age are rushing into things. They aren't giving themselves enough time to do what they want before they commit to being husband and wife, and before they know it a few years later they never got to do what they want and they'll regret it.

For other people being married at 18 is very young and they think that the person is being too rash to be married so early. To me I think that if i do get married at that age, of course Ill be happy but I wont start a family right away. Me and that other person would agree to become more financially stable before having children because if I jst have kids when Im still young, and just got out of highschool. I dont want to look towards my parents for them to help us since it was our decision after all and I dont want to depend on my parents that much as Im already growing up. Well that's jst my opinion thgh.

at 18, most people haven't experienced sharing
a budget with another person, having the
responsibility of bills, living day in and day out
with another person who might drive you insane
but knowing how to handle that...

personally, i think 18 is too young to get married.
i've never met an 18 year old, including my friends,
who were ever "mature" enough at that age to get
married!

Yes, you just got out of high school now your married. You didn't even get to live your life before deciding you want to be locked down and have to tell your spouse why you got in at 4 am. If your single you can do what ever you want no questions asked. MY ANSWER IS EXPLORE LIFE AND BE FREE, AND THEN DECIDE IF YOUR READY TO GET MARRIED.

probably a personal decision, but statistically probably a good chance of ending in divorce and misery
Agree with previous posts that you need to first learn a bit about you as an adult, then you need to learn what you want out of a significant other and out of life

at 18 -- it is likely that you and your spouse could more easily grow apart

Considering in the past people used to be married at 13-15, I would say no.  But the nature of marriage itself has changed, it's far less sacred than it once was and people don't take it seriously enough in general - and that's not an age thing.
