Couples who marry young might not make it for many reasons. They might grow apart as they grow
older, they haven't had enough time to date and see what they want in a husband or wife, and they
don't have any idea of how demanding marriage can be in the future. If they want to get married that
is their choice but i think it is a bad one. Wait a while until at least your twenties before making
this huge decision. My mom and dad met young and they grew apart as time went on. They didn't know
what they wanted in life and marriage limited what they could do. Wait until you are settled in your
life and know who you are. If you marry young you are always in a relationship and don't really
learn who you are as an individual, instead you only know how to be a half of a couple. |

Yes. Marriage is a hard business to make a go of. Best wait until you have some maturity, to handle
the gnarly realities of daily wedded bliss.
Def college first!!!!!!!!!!!! |

No. One should enjoy their youth. Go to college, get a job, travel, have fun...then get married.
Once you get married, it is much harder to do those things. Then when you have kids, it is next to
impossible. I waited until I was 29 and I don't regret it. If I could do it again, I would wait
until I was 39 to get married. One should play the field a little. There are a lot of different fish
in the sea, so by playing the field you can try some different fish and see which one you like best.
Finding a mate is like shopping. You have to look around for the right one. If one does not fit,
take it back and exchange it for another one or get your money back. You should never have to stick
with something you don't like or doesn't fit. |

I agree. People should wait until they are 22 or older to get married. Marriages between people
younger than 22 aren't likely to last, because many people usually end up feeling that the person
isn't right for them. This even happens to people who are older.
Marriage is something that you have to be certain about. People need to understand what it involves.
In order to be married and have a child, people need to be happy with their own individual lives and
be in a good financial position. At 22, people may still be studying, so it certainly isn't a good
idea to get tied down with marriage and children. |

Younger than 22 really does not have enough experience nor are they mature enough to make a lifeling
decision such as marriage. That is why the divorce rate is so high. So many people jump into
marriage too early and want out after they realize that this person is not for them, after they
mature and find out who they really are or after it is too late and they have a child together and
they realize money is breaking them up. If people would wait, get their college degree and then make
a decision on who they want to spend their life with, the divorce rate would drop immensely.
Marriage IS to be for life, not momentary. Divorce is supposed to be unheard of. |

Most people do not mature until at least 23-25 and immaturity is a huge component in divorce. They
don't have realistic expectations of what marriage is all about and when problems come up, they
don't understand how to handle them. |

I don't think age has much to do with marriage.
Some people get married in there teens and stay happily together for the rest of their day's.
It has something to do with ambition, personal circumstance, expectation, desire, many other
factors.
My mother said the other day she wished she had said to my Father she wouldn't go out work. She
didn't until my younger brother was i year old and my two elder brothers were old enough to look
after us.
Not that she is complaining. 65 years together she wouldn't trade it for the world. |

I think if it is love, people should get married when they want, as long as it is over 18. |
