How many of you got married young and how did it go for you?

Question

I got married when I was 18 and had a baby at 19. I'm 20 now still married and just curious to see how it has worked for others.

Answer 1

Got married when I was 21 and my wife was 17. She still had to finish her senior year in high school.

That was 22 years ago on June 14th.

We didn't however have our first child until we had been married 8 years.

Some times it was tough, especially when I forgot that I should be complimenting her and telling her I loved her frequently.

Like most men, I didn't realize that women needed ALL of that attention. Now I never let a day go by that I don't tell her that I love her or tell her how beautiful I think she is.

Regardless of tough times, never forget or let him forget why you got married in the first place!  Never walk out on an argument. Make him talk to you and you talk to him.

Never hide anything from each other. You have to be open books or trust goes out the window!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I got married after I turned 24 and believe it or not I feel I was young! not that I regret it but we can't skip stages in life, when you're a teen you need to do normal things teens do, dating, going out with friends. Now I've been a wife for 3 years, I'm just getting ready to be a mom, I could not get married and have a baby right away, is like missing all the fun  and joy being a wife brings!

Answer 11

Well i got married at 18-had a baby at 19-now im 22 and divorced. again i was young and thought i knew what i wanted-when i should've listened to everyone else. i guess it was a rough time in my life-but i have grown and learned from it and wouldnt take my precious girl back for nothing-it helped me in figuring out what i needed in life-and now i am with someone who is my life-so im happy. cant say the same for everyone else though. hope all goes well with you and your family.  

Answer 12

I got married at 22. To you that might not be considered that young, but believe me it is. I think that it was too young, but not everyone is the same.

Best Wishes

Answer 13

I got married at 17, had my 1st at 18, 2nd at 20 and 3rd at 26. He beat me one too many times, so I left him after 16 years. (he is 11 years older than me)

Answer 14

Married when I was 19 after knowing eachother only for eight months and we have been married for over eight years.  

Answer 15

Met my wife when I was 18.  She was 19.  We married when I was 23 and she was 24 and here we are 37/38 now (almost 14yrs later) and were still married, but were having some rocky times.  I've almost called it quits twice, but we have two children, ages 8 & 4 and I just can't cut the ties.  

I feel that I got settled down with a women too early in life and didn't date enough when I was younger, so I do regret the decisions I made in my early 20s

Answer 16

I got married two months before my 21st birthday. On paper, that marriage lasted five years; it started unraveling around year two.

Some people are more mature than others. I thought I was. I was wrong.

Got married again at 28, after establishing a career and financial independence. (I also had "grown up" considerably.) The difference was huge!

Answer 17

I was 15 and now I am 28 we are still happy.

Answer 18

Graduated at 17 in June, turned 18 in July and married in Oct. and had my first child at 20.  Husband ended up bi polar and we divorced 2 months short of 7 yrs and three kids later.  I don't advise getting married that young to anyone.  I'm in my 50's now and still wanting the care free life and fun I missed out on at 18!  After raising my kids I had my parents to care for.  You just never know what life is going to throw your way!  Have fun while you are young and can when you only have yourself to care for!!

Answer 19

He was 26 when we got married.
