Married at young age?

[MelWinter]

Hi! I would like to ask is here people who have gotten married at pretty young age and do they consider it was a good choice or not?

(And as a pretty young age I would consider under 22 maybe😂)

We got married at 18 and 19. It's been great and we are glad we didn't wait longer, but we are also just about as compatible as two people can get.

Sounds great! I'm currently 19, turning 20 this year and my boyfriend 25 years old is apperently about to propose. I was just thinking does the age really matter if we are just enough mature? 🤔 Also, what did ur parents say when u got married?

[LazerBean]

Our parents were supportive. But both of us are oldest children and were always responsible for our age. Maturity is definitely necessary, so if you don't feel mature enough then definitely don't rush.

I'm also an oldest child and I feel like I am mature for my age. I'm just basically most worried about what will other people say about this..

[LazerBean]

Well you can certainly ask some people

I was 23 and my wife was 21. I would say in general it is a bad idea. My wife and I lived together for 4 years before we got married and had a lot of life experience for our age though.

[MelWinter]

Okey, interesting🤔 Cause I have situation going on. I'm currently 19, turning 20 this year and I've understood my boyfriend is going to propose. And I don't know whether I should say yes or no.

[jahaims]

If you have any reasonable doubt, then I would say wait. There's no reason to rush it. I would say gain more life experience to gain some perspective. Like I said, I grew up fast, so it isn't really an apples to apples comparison

[MelWinter]

The situation is that I wanna say yes.. but first thing I'm thinking about what are my parents gonna say and other people. My boyfriend is 25 and he's from another culture and has not really had a normal life, he has a lot more experience of life than I do. Like he has seen people die and lived in a foreign country by himself. Should I consider that a good thing?

And yea, u seemed to have more life experience before u married. Did u ever regret getting married at 23?

[jahaims]

Why get married? Live together first and see how it feels. Rushing into marriage is a sign of immaturity.

I was 23 and she was 27 when we got married.

Things are going well.
