Is eighteen and nineteen years old to young to get married?

Question

My girlfriend and I have been together for quite some time now. We are so in love with eachother, and talked about whether or not we're too young to think about getting married. I'm so in love with her, and would marry her right now if I had the money. She just left for college about an hour and a half away, but we know it's going to work because we love eachother so much. My parents tell me that wanting to get married at this young of an age is ridiculous, but my friends parents say it's okay if we're in love. I know she's the one for me, but do you Y! users think we're too young? I'm 19 and she's 18.

Answer 1

i think 18 and 19 r too young, even if u r in love, having a family takes alot of money especially with babies, take a couple more years to save money or get a really good job to do it.  

Answer 2

If thats what you both want then go for it. Its yalls relationship not anyone elses!

Answer 3

No.  Go ahead and get married!

Answer 4

yes, even if you wait just a year, life changes soo much. and if you wait till atleast 21, you'll have no regrets. i got married at 19, and where i love my husband i haven't gotten to do things other girls my age have done. not that it wont work out its just hard!!!

Answer 5

well u both not even grown fully..that's ridiculous...if u got married u have a wish for a baby..and she will not strong by his body...moreover mariage comes with great responsibility..it's not something u do simply..just fly ur wings and c the world...u r saying that she is the one for u and marrying her too early...it means that u have no faith in ur love and on her....just live the life as lovers till the age of 26 and then marry as u wish...at this age ur mind play games too...best luck

Answer 6

YES!

Answer 7

Nope. But most people would just tell you to wait too long so you aren't tied down. But I think it's great you're in love!

Answer 8

age doesn't matter, it is your maturity level. are you mature enough to be married that is the question age doesn't matter though because if your ready then go for it nothing is holding you back i would go to premarital counseling though before you do it just to make sure that you guys are really made for each other but my words to you are go for it if you are ready good luck and i hope that helps

Answer 9

yo if you honestly feel shes the one go for it. a dude rarely finds a girl that is perfect for him so when you do you gotta hold on to her. if you'll make it through her first semester (this is a challenge) then go for it man. i was in your shoes, im 18 an me and my 18yr old fiance are getting married in 3 weeks

Answer 10

YES

Answer 11

It can work but the odds are against it....

Answer 12

Its not the age that is ever too young its the people that are getting married.   Some people shouldn't get married at 18 but some should never get married at all. 18 and 19 is fine for some but would never be for others.  I was 20 when i got married and have been very happily married for eleven years (my husband was 25) and we had been boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time.  It all depends whether you are going to be happy to never have anyone else for the rest of your life and whether everything you want to do in your life will either be with your girl or with her support.  If that is the case then it shouldnt be a problem.  Reality is though if you are going to stay together then it doesn't really matter when you get married.

Answer 13

Maybe you could meet halfway on this and get engaged. There is nothing wrong with a long engagement. Maybe a year or two. By then you will have each gained more life experience and time to grow into yourselves and truly know what your life will hold.

Best wishes

Answer 14

i think you should go for it.

but then again im 19 and married. haha

Answer 15

I think if you are in love do it i was with my husband sense i was 15 I married him at age 19 had my first child 12 days after my first wedding anniversary and this sept i will be married for 17 years i am now 36 and we are still happy we argue less so its all good just be happy and talk everything threw and never go to bed angry i wish you luck

Answer 16

I'd say it entirely depends on the people and their maturity levels, but in general 18 and 19 are too young. Just remember that you can get married any time there's no need to rush.

Answer 17

Love strengthens when you wait.  So that will be my advice.  But I know how difficult it is for the young people to wait.

You  can live better if you take the final step once you both have found employment.

good luck and god bless

Answer 18

Well, it's not really something anyone can decide or tell you whats wrong or right, besides you two! Some people feel that they don't need to be married until their middle aged and some want to get married as soon as possible. I feel that if you found your soul mate and your committed to being with this person, then just because you are both young shouldn't stop you from marrying this person. Don't let your parents stop you from doing what your heart tells you to do! If you feel that this is the right time to get married, then start looking for a tux! =)

Answer 19

I think if you're that in love, then you can wait a few years. I'm 18 and my husband is 20; we got married in January, and now I regret it. 18 feels too young to be a wife. I'd much rather have just stayed his girlfriend. I don't even know how long we're going to last anymore. Breaking up as boyfriend and girlfriend is much easier than getting a divorce. I know that you and your gf may not feel the same way I do after a few months of married life, but if you are both THAT in love, then what's wrong with waiting a few years?  

Answer 20

uh...yea way way to young

Answer 21

if that's what your hearts tell you then believe in it, isn't that all we can do as humans?

live in the hands of god and trust your purest of emotions - love

go do it (:

Answer 22

a lot of people will tel you that they felt the same way; "I would do anything for them, die for them, want to spend the rest of their lives with them, etc..."

i do think that 18 & 19 is a bit too young, give it at least...until you've both left college i think..

there are a lot of people who get married when they're young but divorce and regret it later; i'm not saying that will happen i'm saying if you really want this to work, give it some time

good luck GOD bless :D

Answer 23

If you have the money, then just do it

Answer 24

yup way to young what if in 5 years u guys are sick of eachother and regret it think u guys should wait another 5 to 6 years to be on the safe side

Answer 25

hmm.. this is a yeah it is too young to get married and a no its not to young to get married answer, lol. just dont rush into anything!! plus weddings are alot of money!! and if shes jst only left college then i dont think u'll be earnin enough cash anyways, cos gettin married an still living with parents is a tad odd isnt it?

Answer 26

you are young but if you are in love and think she's the one then why rush it? if you guys are so sure then wait a few years while she focuses on school and u too i mean being married is nice bt its only the label and for the meanwhile you can both save up for a wedding in a few years.  

Answer 27

your way too young and have only begun to experience life as an adult. wait until you are finished with school and can begin your careers before diving into marriage. if you truly love each other, what's the harm in waiting?

Answer 28

yes that is yuoung but if ur that much in luv...yes than doo it. have u ever seen that show engaged adn underaged? if u havent...its a show about teens getting married adn they seem very madly in luv sooo yes! doo it!

Answer 29

no it is not to early go for it

Answer 30

i got married at 20 and my husband was 19 and we cant ever get our heads round these people who say they missed out for marrying young.

We have travelled, served in air force together for 3 and a half years, spent four months based togetehr in falklands, (we met in training), i am now 2 years through a degree to do teaching.

We own our own property, we had a baby 6 months ago but before that we went clubbing and drinking every weekend and a lot of the times through the week. If anyone can think of stuff that they had done by 24 that i havent because i am married please share cause i definitely cant think of anything!!

go for it if you want to. there are just as many perils from marrying in your 30s etc because you become more set in your ways in a younger marriage you can grow together. (this is advice from my mum and dad been together 40 years as they started going out at 14 and married at 20. they have been married 34 years so far.
