hi there! i believe whether you are young or not it doesn't matter. as long as you are stable with life and when you already earn a good living, enough to make a family,then while wait? but if not, better not to think about it. when getting married i believe that one should not only think of his/her own happiness but the consequences after the marriage and the family ahead. it's easy getting married but living a married life will not be as easy though. happy mylotting!

It doesn't matter how old you are, but it does matter if you are mature enough to make this decision. Before you get married, you have to make sure once the passion past, do you two still trust each other and wanna stay along with him/her.

well i would say it should not really be tolerated, teenagers still need to have fun, teenagers are still not ready to get married, and make a family of their own. teenagers will still need their parent's support... when you make your family, get married you should not be relying too much on your parents.

i personally don't support teenage marriage..there is always a right time for everything and teenage years is the time of our life that we should enjoy and cherish..and i always believe that the marrying age is around 26-30..though marrying young has its advantages since you will most likely relate better with your kids when they reach their teenage years since the age gap will not be that big..

Well, personally, I think that it depends on the couple, as well as the individuals involved. Everyone is different from each other. Therefore, every couple will most likely be different from each other. So, that's why I think that it depends on the couple and the individuals involved, and it will vary.

Well, to tell the truth. You never know if a relationship will do fine or not. People sometimes marry for love or only because a baby is coming their way. My opininion is very simple. It doesn't matter if it is young or old enough. Marrying it's a very important decision even more when a couple has been forced to marry because of a baby. A marriage can only work with true love. And to know that for sure, only living day by day aside your lover. That's something bad for young people in my opinion, because when you marry someone, you have to change all your life towards the marriage, so my advice is: Get fun enough around,traveling, meeting new people before you marry your lover. Then, keep having fun when you are married without forgeting the new tasks.

it's not as important to get married at a young age now, people want to go out and travel the world. live life before settling down, but at the same time there are still a lot of people who do get married young. sometimes it works out, other times it ends in divorce. i have found in my aventure on the net and talking to people there at a lot who have married even in their mid 20's and their now mid 30's and the marriage has ended. i was young when i got with my ex and i had my son young as well, it's ended only just recently. i'm looking forward to experiencing things i didn't before.
