Why am i "too young" to get married?

Once your of legal age, only you can make the choice if your too young or not.  I will tell you from experience though the younger you are when you get married the harder it is to make it long term.  The reason is that there is just a lot of life to experience and live in the next 6 or so years of your life.  I wish you luck because I know that your going to do it regardless of anyones opinion.  So just stay true, and never give up.

Well, I'm glad you too love other. But both of you are far too young to get married. You see, even adults make mistakes in marriage when they rush into these things. So, I would suggest that you keep your friendly relationship until both of you are adults. By then, you will be more mature and can decide whether you want to spend the rest of your lives with each other in love. So, hang on together and wait another 4 years (at least). Good luck.

first of all how old are u? are you even old enough to be thinking marriage?. I hope that you are at least in your mid twenties?

Quite frankly they should wait to get married. This isn't because they aren't able to or aren't mature enough. It is because the pressures that come with a "marriage", even though it is just a piece of paper, could actually split them up. Encourage them to stay together. There is no reason that they can't. However, getting married at this age may not be the best thing for them.

hmmm, I would wait to get married. Doesn't mean you still can't date this guy. beside I'll bet anything your parents would never let you get married at this age. You are really young still, so whats the rush? If your still together in like 5 or 6 years, props to you and I wish you the best.\n\nIf it helps you any, I met my fiance when I was 14, and I knew in a year that we had a great relationship. BUT, I'm 18 now, and we're only just engaged after nearly 4 years together (July 27th <3). I'm in no hurry to marry, becuase the piece of paper doesn't change how we feel. And I want a nice wedding, and I still have a lot of saving to do! ~.^ good luck!

First of all - you are correct - you both are way too young to be married.\n\n2ndly, how can you marry someone when you have no idea how to support yourself much less them?\n\nGet your life together - go to trade school or further your education; get a stable job.\n\nEncourage your "wife" to do the same so you can support each other not only emotionally but financially.\n\nI don't know how you can even consider marriage and family when you don't even have the basic principles covered.\n\nYou can't take care of anyone else - no matter how much you love them - until you take care of yourself!

Life, they say, begins at 40. Hey, dont despair, your still young. My aunt got married when she was 45. And guess what, one of the most popular actresses here in our country remarried at 41 and had a child a year after. There are thousands, perhaps millions of people out there looking for you. The world is so wide, you just have to explore it. Believe and it will happen...\n\np.s. invite me when you get married. He he he

There is No 'Right' Age!\nWe All mature at Different Rates!\nOur Ability to Judge Our own Judgment increases with age!\nHence why Younger Folk who leap into marriage do tend to mess up!\nHope this helps You!

i would say it depends on WHY your getting married. My first two marrages were for medical benifits and for extra cash. i dont recommend getting married for those reasons but if it is becasue you are happy then go for it and i wish you all the best. i am only 23 and i am getting married because i want to..... and because i am happy and i know that i want to spend the rest of my life with the man i love. so yes i think 22 is early enough but quite a few ppl in here have some good answers. have you gone over your finances? and your goals in life, and i dont mean just talking about it in general but how your going to do it together and what you can do for each other to accomplish it. marrage is hard and takes a lot to make it work but it can be worth it. good luck!

My Dad told me when I was in high school to wait until you're 30 to get married. So I thought about it and studied hard in school. Enjoyed myself and dated a lot. Most the guys when they found out I was going to wait until I was 30 to get married, took off to find someone who was ready. \n\nA lot of my friends got married right out of high school. I went to college. Four years later many of them were getting divorced and many had kids they were fighting for in the divorce. \n\nI went to graduate school. Two years later many were on their second or third divorce and more kids. My Dad says when you getting married? Dad, I'm going for my doctorate. OK. \n\nI graduated and he says when you getting married? Dad you told me to wait until I was 30! You never listen to anything I said before why this time? It sounded like good advice.\n\nWell I didn't wait until I was 30, I was 29. The man I married was stable and had an established career. We have a beautiful home, two good careers and three beautiful children. All worth waiting for.I was old enough to know what I wanted, to have accomplished things and stable enough to handle my emotions. Best of all I don't have a lot of baggage to have to carry around for the next.\n\nWhat do you want? The important thing is not to get in a hurry!

It is best to wait until you get married, but I lost mine at 17.  I've regretted it ever since.  I am 25.

I suppose it is possible to find love at 14.  Girls were married at that (your) age, in our culture and other cultures as well along time ago.  So, they had to grow up really fast.  Growing up is not as great as it might seem to kids.\n\nThe better question is WHY do you want to rush things?  You are only 14, and have the Blessing of being a child for a while longer.  Enjoy the simple things that being a kid offers, and save the Complexities that come from love, and adult life for later.  \n\nYou will be an adult soon enough.  Trust me, (even though you won't listen anyways), but trust me, you will have PLENTY of time to have Grown-Up love in your life.  \n\nStay being a kid, and wait to be an adult until uh,, when you actually are an adult.\n\nI wish I were your age, just so I could quit worrying about all the grown-up decisions I have to make EVERY day.

I keep passing on Dear Abby's advice, but people keep asking this same question.  No one should get married until they are financially and emotionally able to support themselves.  Neither one of the people is old enough to do that, so no they shouldn't get married.

It seems that the world is probably against you this day in age with quicky weddings and quicky divorces. Alot of the young couples I know get married really quick without thinking everything through. Call it the "want to be a bride" syndrome. Once you live together and share your lives together...things change. But if you really love each other,have talked everything through, and understand what hard work marriagetakes...you may be happy together forever. Good luck!

I hate to have to break your rule because I am under 28 but over 21.  I know because a lot of my ex's were over 28 and a lot of friends and colleagues are in the age range as well.  \n\nI know for a fact that the word marraige is like taboo for some people because they feel like in some way this thing that is suppose to be happy is going to be a bad experience.  When you think about the divorce rates and how many people are having marital issues a lot of people attibute those issues to be being married instead of the real reason- THE COUPLE DID NOT THINK BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED or are not aware of how to resolve their problems. \n\nMany people who have even been in long term relationships are not willing to even discuss marriage as an option.  I do not know why it seems so scary to so many people because marriage is suppose to be one of the greatest achievements in life.  This person is suppose to be your helper, lover, best friend and confidant.  Why wouldn't you want to spend everyday of your life with them? I think this is one of those questions that will never have a clear answer until we wake up and start realizing the importance of MARRIAGE.  It is the foundation for a family.  I could go on and on as to why people  are afraid to get married.  But my honest belief is that people are afraid of what could happen (in the negative instead of the positive).  \n\nI have friends who have been together for 4 yrs. and have children together but when you bring up marriage they are like "What? Who me? Oh, I'm not ready for that?" It is amazing.  It never fails to shock me. \n\nI will be getting married in one year and I look forward to the day that I become my mate's wife.  I feel like marriage only betters your life. I am sorry if this was long but I really have strong feeling about marriage.  Thanks for the question!  I hope you get a lot of answers.

I don't think there is a age to get married it only depends on you. Ask your  self if you will want that guy to be with you the rest of your life?
