Should a 19 year old marry a 18 year old.?

Question

Should a 19 year old marry a 18 year old.?

Answer 1

Not if you have to ask this question.  No.

Answer 2

everyone is different if you feel like this is something you want to do and your going to commit to then do it but remember being married is a job two people have to work at  

Answer 3

Never.   No one should get married before the age of 30, you miss out on too many life experieinces and the divorce rate would be alot lower.

Answer 4

It depends an how long they've know each other, and if they can support each other. Known each other for 2 days and there living in his grandma's car....they probably should wait. Gotten to know each other over months or years, and know each others strengths and weakness and still love each other. If they can afford to buy food,pay rent, then i say yeah go for it!!

Answer 5

it is not all about age,

there are some other factors.

if they are mature for their age, no problem

Answer 6

I disagree with Heather (which is actually my name too, muahaha.)

I was married at 21, but I'm more mature than most people my age.  It depends on the maturity of the parties involved.  In some cases, an 18 and 19 year old may be able to get married and they will make it work just as well as a couple in their 30's.  In other cases, a couple of 30-somethings may get married and be divorced within a couple of years.

Marriage takes a lot of work, a lot of selflessness, and lot of compromise and maturity.  If you and your potential spouse willing to be and do all these things, then there's no reason your marriage shouldn't work no matter how old you are.

Good luck!

Answer 7

if he loves her

Answer 8

In my opinion, I believe that two people should only marry their best friend, someone whom they have known for a while, can trust and truly depend on despite all. If this is the case with the 18 and 19 year, then by all means, send me an invitation. However, 18 and 19 are very young ages to make any type of long commitment because most people don't realize that marriage does more than change your last name. Divorces are increasing because people are not aware of what marriage entails. Please know what you're getting yourself into before you do it.  

Answer 9

What is the big hurry????? You should be going to college and working toward having a good paying career. Just what kind of a life do you think you are going to have with only a high school education? Before you know it you will be parents trying to support a family on a small pay check.

You have about 8-10 years of growing up to do before you are mature enough to handle the big responsibilities that go with marriage.

Take your time or the mistakes you make today, you will have to live with for the rest of your lives.

Answer 10

No.  And they shouldn't yet have children either.  Grow up, go to college, get good  jobs, stay faithful to each other if you care.  But no.  And if you change like most of us do, no harm, no foul, and no babies to support.

What and who each of us like at 19 isn't what you might like at 29.

Answer 11

My advice to anyone young thinking about getting married is to date for at least 2 or 3 years after high school graduation. I'm talking about the younger person. you will find out everything you need to know about eachother and whether or not it'll work for good during those  2-3 years. take it from someone who dated for 3 years...if we would've got married any sooner, it wouldn't have work because of my maturity. he's 4 yrs older than me and i was only 19 when we started dating. BELIEVE ME PLEASE!!! You will both regret it which is not healthy for a marriage. Marriage is your COMMITMENT for the rest of you life. If you have a rough start, it won't work. Good luck.  

Answer 12

At 18 and 19 your both too young to get married.

Answer 13

If they love each other and want to spend the rest of their life together and want to get married then they should do what feels right for them.

Answer 14

If they are college graduates!

If they have a good paying job.

If they have done enough in their life to settle down.

So my answer is a Big NO!

Answer 15

Maybe in the 1950's. But in today's world it will never work out. Both still too young and selfish to make a real marriage work.

Just my experience.

I met my husband at 20. We didn't get married until 26. So much to learn in terms of finances, children, religion, and more that 18 year olds just don't know. Once you turn 21 it is a whole new world out there.
