Marriage at a young age!!!!!

Really it depends ont he situation and the mindset of the people invovled. But it also depends on how you define young. Are you talking about h.s age or early 20's. Either way I think no one in the h.s. age range should get married before they turn legal age. Only b/c in this age range things change rapidly, the heart and the mind and you do not want to end up being one of those people who have multiple divorces or even draggin innocent children into the situation. That is not to say that sometimes "young love" does work. Because it does and i have seen a few cases that way. But at such a young age do we really know how we are going to feel and act as we grow older. And as we change will the relationship change too? Our youth is designed to allow us the freedom to make mistakes within reason. And if you try to act as an adult you will most certainly receive adult responsibilties and quite possibly loose your free time. ANd trust me when you grow up you look back fondly on that free time. I have learned a lot from watching my friends and I have seen the good and the bad on this kind of scenario. Love and respect are the only advice I can give to anyone in this situation and honor each other.

I believe marrying at a young age would not only, well somehow, deprive the person of a lot of things & opportunities in life because things will certainly be different when you're married Coz ul not only think abt yourself but also of your husband & kids. So if it can be avoided or if the couple can wait for a while then it will be I guess better. Remember that marriage is a completely different arena. ü. I have nothing against it though, even my mom & dad got married at an early age. =) but they are saying life then is a bit harder than they expected. For those who are married already at a young age- then I guess you guys just have to be strong & help one another grow. God bless!

Hello and welcome to MyLot luisarriaga. How young do you consider young? I was married at 17, just before I got out of high school. Most of my relatives thought I was too young and tried to talk me into waiting longer. They encouraged me to explore the world, go to college and live my life for a while before getting married. At the time, my dad was planning to get married again himself (4th time) and this meant moving to another city, several hours away. Since my dad had been in the military for 20 years, we had moved ALOT and I was ready for a more settled (stable) life. We've been married for 24 years now and have a beautiful 22 year old daughter. It worked out well for us, but I have encouraged my daughter to delay getting married as long as possible so she can experience what she wants to before having to deal with the responsibilities of being married.
