someone really close to me is getting married at a very young age. she is 21 while he is 20. actually she is older than him only by 6 month. they really are looking only for serious relationship and thus, making decision to get married around august this year. what do you think of them?

I married when I was 21 and my husband was 25 at the time. We are still together, have two children a nice home, two cars a cat and a dog! If they both feel that they want to spend the rest of their lives together then who are we to comment. They are adults and can get married whenever they choose to. So long as they love each other and they feel that this is right for them, then you should be supporting them all the way.

both of them are still in college. do you think that getting married will somehow give negative impact to their study?

everyone can get married at any age, young nor old. what matter is how stable they are to handle their own family, if they think they are stable enough and have their own job already then they can go ahead. most family problem is financial matte so they must think of it first and dont just listen to what their heart says. but if they are responsible and willing to work hard to fight their marriage then why not.

Getting marriage at this age is okey but they must think of them how they can withstand by. If they are still student then they have to choose whether to get married after their studies and after getting a job. Otherwise it is difficult to survive. They should have a correct plan.

I got married when I was 20 going to be 21. I don;t regret it at all. My husband is older than me though but it still didn't matter. We don't have any kids and I was still able to finish school and such. I used to work until I got laid off but i've gone out with friends no clubbing or anything like that, I'm just not like that nor do I think it's healthy for a relationship. We usually do things together. We've been together to 11 years and married for 5. We love it. Oh I had finished school before I got married though I graduated college early but I took college courses and it was fine. My grandma got married when she was 23 and my grandpa was 21 and they had been togther for 54 years or so. My grandp passed away from cancer 3mo ago but they still oved each other the whole time not to say it was a perfect marriage b/c no one is perfect but they were happily married with 4 kids
