Orsys Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Too young. You change so much in your twenties, no telling what you'll be interested in by thirty to know if you'll both have anything in common. Figure out who you are before you figure out who you are with someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDRE Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Some people just "know."My sister, who is 25, has been together with her husband (married at 19) since they were 15, and they are pretty happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bromle Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Depends on the couple. Most couples would be a no, but sometimes it's the right thing to do. As sunny pointed out, each case is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelinrocksnexttognr Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 In the 40s/50s they did it all the time. But then again they had a higher family value and respect for what marriage is. Todays punk ass shitless layabouts are fucked in the head n take "love" to an extreme messure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Mathers Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 It all depends on the people thmeselves. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A couple in my year at school are engaged and they're only 15/16, it doesn't seem like it'll work for them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelZ Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 In the 40s/50s they did it all the time. But then again they had a higher family value and respect for what marriage is. they also had housewives whose only skills were to cook clean and make babieswho were not encouraged to pursue higher education or find a job ,so they had to rely on their husbands for supportmany of these women stayed in these marriages because they had no choice, not out of lovetodays women are more independent educated and self sufficientmarrying at 18 sounds like a joke, in the states they cant even legally drink at their own weddingif 2 people are in love whats the rush to get a piece of paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forsaken Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yeah. It's too early. At 18, you are still growing and maturing in life. No telling how much you could change. You still have college in front of you. I guess the only way I would disagree, is if you lived in the backwoods somewhere and never left that area your entire life.

tsunami1982 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) If they wanted just to move in together, their parents would probably disagree, right? Is getting married just an easier way for them to be together all the time? On the other hand, as someone already said, some people just know.A friend of mine and her boyfriend have been in a relationship since she was 13. Now they are 25, live together and will probably grow old together. Weird, but I can't picture her with no one elseP.S. and yes, I think it's too early Edited April 2, 2011 by tsunami1982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luciusfunk Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) My brother and his wife have been together since they were about 15/16, got married at 18 and this September they'll be married 15 years.I didn't get married at 18, but I did get married at 21.

FuddMckagan Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I would say it's too young. Obviously some people are gonna be together for a very long time (or forever) and have been dating since they were teenagers, but the way I see it, they may as well just wait a few more years to get married. If they're gonna be together anyway, there's no rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st0n3r Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 18 is off course way to early to get married. Mind you, there are always exceptions, I can agree with that. Some people just 'know'. But in general, it's the exception that proves the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
