Is 19 to young to be married?

[tcooks1234]

I think 19 is too young to get married, you have not experienced the whole dating thing and also you need to experience life. I know some people that got married when they were young and it did not work out. The husband was not ready to give up going clubbing or hanging out with fellows every night. The wife was not ready to give up that either,I think that when you are 19 you should not be thinking about being married just have fun!

No I've seen younger marriages last longer than when your older, as long as you both love each other a lot it'll work t fine

my brother got my now sister in law pregnant at 17. he's 3 yrs older then her but hadnt quite turned 20 yet. they married when she was 8 months along with my niece. she was still 17 coz her b-day is in june so her parents both signed permission for them to marry and we all were glad that they were married when my niece came. they are still together...they've had their problems and almost broke up but i guess something worked itself out and they are still together.

No one can live your life for you but there'd be no way in hell I'd ever get married at 19 or suggest to any 19 year old that they get married.  There are so many things out there that you could be doing and imho getting married should be the last thing you should be doing.  Go out and live your life and have fun, date, travel, become independent and live on your own, get an education, get a career do anything else to fulfill your life and get to know yourself but wait.  You may think you are mature for your age but experience and life is the best teacher and one day you'll look back and see you weren't as mature as you thought you were.  

I'm sure you are aware of the statistics of marrying so young, some people make it some don't but the odds are stacked against it.  Ultimately it's your life and you have to live it the way you see fit.  If you feel in your heart this is the best decision for you at this time then go for it.  Live and learn.

I agree that the age is not what matters.  Do you have the commitment to handle marriage?  there are way too many people out there that when it gets tough they head to divorce court.  Marriage is not to be entered into lightly.  If you place God first in your marriage i beleive that it will survive.   With God All things are possible.

OMG yes!! Even at 24 I was still too young. I feel you need to grow up enough to really know who you are, or you change and don't want the same things anymore, even your husband.

I will be turning 30 in a couple months...and 19 is WAYYYYY to young to marry.  Things seemed to be changing every few months at that age.  Maybe I'm selfish but I still have tons of things I want to do with my life at 30 and marriage isn't one of them.  Have many friends who chose the same route and many of the marriages didn't work.  And they haven't experienced nearly all the things in life as the others who waited until they were at least 23.

our minds in the area of critical thinking and decision making are not fully developed until at least 25.   The things that you enjoy at 19 are not going to be the same things you enjoy at 25 or even 30, so my advice would be to wait but i have heard of marriages that last a long time even when the couple marries young.

That's hard to say.  I was 18 and way too young.  The thing is that people change so much over the years.  By the time you're 30, you will be very different than you are at 18.  I do see people who get married at a young age and stay married for a long time.  I also know people who stay married either for the kids or for convenience when they are tired of each other and have nothing in common.

I married at 19 - 29 years ago so I can't say it's too young... it depends on maturity. 

[nico74]

Depends on how mature the couple is.

[ktheodos]

I think it is! Though I have a friend who is 21 and already has a child! I know in the older days, 19 was normal age to be married!

When you get married, you begin to realize these little things that bother you about eachother, things that were not apparent before. If you are not mature enough to put aside those little differences and have empathy for eachothers misgivings, your marriage will not last. If your marriage is built on lust and not love, it will not last. Can you see yourself growing old with this person? Working out finances, having kids? Do you think that you will never have arguments with eachother? Have you lived together for awhile? Do you have serious second thoughts? Ask yourself some of those questions, then you will know.

I think that might be a little young but it doesnt matter when it comes to love i guess. In my family a lot of people got divorced....so i am kinda careful. I been with my bf for almost two yrs and I am uncure when we r going to get married.
