Do you think getting married at 18 is a bad thing or a good thing?

Question

i love my baby i wanna be wit her forever but people think we are to young and we wont last

Answer 1

i think 18 is fine ///

Answer 2

As long as you two are able to be on your own without financial support then there's not a thing wrong with it...  I've been with the same guy since I was 14.  I'm 21 now and we'll be getting married just after my 22nd bday next year...  Nothing wrong with marrying young

Answer 3

You have to be willing to work at it, just like any other marriage. There are some additional obstacles you'll face, because you're going to grow and change so much in the future, but you'll also have some advantages. Your family is a good source of ideas for if this is a good idea, as they know you two better than we do.

Answer 4

It is a very young age to be getting married.  I mean you are both just getting out of high school and have not even experienced what life has to offer yet.  You can still see each other but just wait on the marriage thing.

Answer 5

I think it's a bad thing. You'll meet so many other people in your life, and you'll want to get to know them more. Being married at 18 limits what you can do in life

Answer 6

It's only bad if you are not financially stable. If you guys have steady well paying jobs and can completely take care of yourselves and be adults about it, than its fine. If not then you are not ready.

Answer 7

I got married at 18.

I wouldn't change it for the world.

If you both know thats what you want, and you have family support I don't think there is any issue. Just make sure you are positive this is the person you want to spend your life with.

Answer 8

i think it really depends on how long you have been together? 18 is ok just make sure its what you want

Answer 9

i mean its not a bad thing but why would u want to make such a big decision/commitment like that at that age.  it definately does change the course of you life and in this day and age the thought of getting married at 18 is crazy. not like years ago when it was customary to get married young. there was nothing else to do!! but nowadays u can really enjoy your life, travel, meet new people. cant do that with a husband or wife the way u would single.

Answer 10

Bad thing.  

When you still love her this much in 2 years, get engaged.  In another year or two, get married.

Answer 11

I don't think it's the physical age that matters...

I married the man I was with at 18.  I don't foresee us splitting up any time soon.  Then again, at 18 I knew I was going to marry him and still waited until I was 24 to tie the knot.

If you are mature enough to take the step, make sure you are financially and mentally prepared to make this LIFE ALTERING move.  

Honestly, you don't sound like your maturity level has peaked yet.  You CAN be with her forever while waiting to get married, you know....

Answer 12

You are young; there are so many life experiences that are yet to come that will change you for the better and for the worse. Be in a serious relationship with each other, enjoy life experiences together and grow as individuals and as a couple. Really what is the hurry?

Good Luck and Best Wishes

Answer 13

WAIT!! i have know people who marry at 18 and they end up divorced. It is not as easy as it may seem. Marriage is really hard if you are not mature enough or you don't have enough life experience. Do you two wan t go to college? If so this is were you will do so much of your growing. I'm sure you hear it all the time but so true. A whole new world opens up. Had i married my bf at 18 i would have been divorced by now.

Plus you change so much as you get older. Not to say that you wont grow closer together as you get older but you will be able to handle things differently.

Answer 14

Depends on the maturity of the couple, not their age.  If you think that you are ready to make that sort of commitment, then good for you and good luck to you.

If you are having doubts about your ability then you shouldn't do it, but marriage is something that you should be ready for.

Answer 15

I think it's a good idea to wait.  If you're right and you two will be together forever, then all waiting will change is your anniversary and people will stop bugging you.

Answer 16

Bad.  You'll wish you had "Lived" a little before settling down.

Answer 17

Well it's good to finish college and get a steady job before getting married. It's not really about whether you'll last or not. It's about being able to have a place to stay, money, etc. There's no need to rush. If you think you really love her that much then she's not going anywhere and it's better to get married with approvals then disapprovals.

Answer 18

Bad! Very Bad! Waaaaay too young!
