    not nessaccerly my mom was 18 when she got married , if your in love , why not date a couple of years and make sure it's true love.

    No it's NOT,   I got married when I was 18.  August 12th my wife and I will be celebrating our 39th wedding anniversary. I  dated  her 5 years before we got married.

    Wow that is awesome! I thought I was doing good in November it will be 29 years and we dated for 5 years too. You don't see a lot of people with that many years together anymore. Congratulations a few weeks early and may your love for each other always be strong.

    Thank you very much Black3, it is awesome. You don't find many marriages lasting that long anymore. Now we have had our ups and downs but overall TRUE LOVE prevails. Thank you so much for the comment and I hope in November that your 29th will be spectacular with many, many more to come. Remind me about your anniversary in Nov. and what date.

    i think thats wonderful, but you a a statistic, this does not happen often, and you must be one in the few that knew love is a choice not a feeling...lust is a feeling. and i think kids get confused about that.

    Just remember, marriage is a life long commitment.You dont want to be another divorce statistic.

    YOURGREAT GREAT GRAND MOTHER WOULDHAVE BEEN COSIDERED AN OLD MAID AT 18

    I don't think 18 is early at all if you are TRULY  in love with each other.

    i dont know, but i would think about it because you have all your life to what ever you like, you dont wanna rush into the things and make a mistake or something, but on the otherhand if you really love this person, and believe it will, the go for it. Goodluck!!!

    I would like to no but I think now and what reading every person has written you go for it and just remember it for both of you marridge is a commitment for ever and ever good luck to you both

    no i mareid in 18.5

    As long as you love each other , it won't be easy , you will have some tough times as well as good times. I married when I was 20 years old, my wife was 19 years old. we are still together 42 years later.

    No, if you know your commitment and responsibilities apart from romance.

    YES!!! Way too young.

    I think not

    Married my old lady at 18, 42 years ago. I still like her a lot.

    No, 18 is not too young,  particularly if the two parties work together to have something together in this world.  Even if they both have jobs that don't pay the most.  Sharing life and love with another is the greatest happiness in the world. I do recommend counseling for all couples so they can keep communications on the right track.  Good Luck.

    No, as long as you're truely happy, and that your sure this is what you want . :)

    ""Look what happened to me. I was married at 18. Now I'm a nervous wreck. No, dear 18 is too young. You have your whole life ahead of you. Look around before you settle. Me old man just sits on a settee pickin' his nose and drinkin' whiskey all day long.

    Can`t say I blame him Eggy.

    8 is too late on my block

    i dont think so because you every girl and boy is young in this age


    i mean adult


     

    YES one should wait until they are on their deathbed.

    I would say yes.I was married at 20 and divorced with a child before i was 26

    These days, yes! Society is not the same now as it was back in the 40s, 50s, 60s or even 70s and has greatly influenced marriage and not for the better. Besides, your brain is not fully developed until the age of 25. Do you think you might change your mind about what you want by the time you hit 30? Wait for it!

    I guess it all depends on the individuals involved. I have a couple of friends who were married before they were 18.She was only 16. 50 years later and they are still going strong.

    You could be more mature at 18 than other people are at 40. If you are mature and you know what you are doing, go ahead.


    But if you both of you are really in love agree mutualy to a one year cooling period and see if you still want to get married.

    ABSOLUTELY!!!!    Even 30 is too young to be married, if you want to married only once in your life. 35-45 is the perfect age to really settle for life.  I've always thought that it should be a standing law that anyone under the age of 30 should not be allowed to marry!   Would prevent SOOOO many problems.........with children and without.............

    Sure 18 is a great age to get married, then what?

    You are ok (your Q is 4 months old - you probably are married). Make sure you know there is more to marriage than getting a spouse.

    you can get married at 18, but just don't have a baby till you and your spouse are financially secure and have saved up enough money for a house and some furniture.Make sure all 3 of you will have enough money to be fed and clothed and don't go  into debt big time. 

    If it's Clifton Clowers' daughter, any age is too young! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVMlF9i2ffU

    yes, way to young.. why rush into it, if it is meant to be then waiying a few years wont make a difference. and if you plan on going to school.. it will be way more expensive if your married.. slow down kid.. take it from me i did it .i got married at 18.. im divorced now
