Getting Married Before 25. Is It a Mistake to Marry That Young or is It Better?

[BrownSugar00]

Yes, Too Young

No, I Don't Think So

[Bethany22]

I voted that it's not too young. However, it can be a catch 22. On the one hand, you have the full pick of the litter as a woman at that age. On the other hand, make sure that you read as many books as possible on how to have successful relationships and marriages to the opposite sex so that you don't wind up getting a divorce over something you could just work on. Otherwise, getting married when you're still young and naive won't do any good. But another advantage to marrying early is that your reproductive system is at its peak in terms of pregnancies. As you get older, your body has the increased chances of having birth complications. The same is true of the age of the guy. The closer to 40 a guy gets, the less good quality his sperm is.

I wouldn't know. But most people get married at 25+ years. old. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, just be happy with your partner and when you guys both decide you want to get married, go right ahead. Doesn't matter how long you wait, there's many years ahead of you.

[BrownSugar00]

I'm myself am single. But yes, there's time!

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I'm single too.

[SakuraBlossoms87]

@PBandJ_Nerd - Exactly. Global age for marriage is 28 for women, 30 for men even in so called "third world" countries like India. Only real exception to the rule is Africa & except for a few places that is a very poor corrupt area in the world to live.

I think for most people today it is a mistake. 100 years ago I would have answered differently. Today there is so much claptrap out there that most young people are completely confused about their roles in a family. I don't think most of them are capable of sorting out the BS until they are older and finally get it that most of what they hear in the social and traditional media about gender and gender roles is a bunch of BS. Societal fads change but natural male/female roles never do. Nature and millions of years of evolution always prevails over the societal fad du jour. That's why the human race is still here to talk about it today.

[TheSpaceGnome]

It can be either, it depends how long you've know the person before marrying them and how much they think like you and if they actually love you are not.

You can't be with the right person too fast, but you can rush things with the wrong person and end up regretting that.

Unfortunately its very hard to tell the difference sometimes, and can often take a few years to determine it.

[coachTanthony]

I would say getting married at 25 or older is probably best.

[thegreenyogi]

I don't really know the exact answer to that question but what I do know is that you can find love at any age it just depends on the person. Some find love young and some find it later in life and not always does that include marriage or a wedding in church to solidify the relationship. And personally I often find myself asking the question: is marriage still important these days?

mistake. everyone i know that married around those ages are now divorced. and yes, more than just a few couples. i knew a LOT of people that age that made that mistake. don't be another statistic.

[Nikki1989]

I didn't get married till I was 29 and that was perfect for me.

[Apple1996]

It's better in my opinion since you can actually grow with your partner. I was 19 and my husband was 18 when we married

[provokeesmokee]

It's probably a mistake, but I know several happy couples who have been married since before 25.

It really depends. And it depends as well on the work both parties put in.

Sociologically, less sexual experiences you have, the more likely to have long lasting relationship. Just read some peer reviewed websites or you can watch some well-known psychologists on YouTube.

[hopegirly]

I do not think it is a mistake. I think it is awesome to marry at a young age if you take the correct choice

[LazerBean]

It's males no difference as long as they are making good choices. I got married at 19 and it's been great

[Sarahr123]

So if I wanna marry this boy who is a year younger than me should I wait until he is 28 and I am 29?

[DextroShade]

Women should be married by that age and in many countries like China and Napan they are considered leftovers if you haven't. The older a woman is the more bodies and baggage she has and the less likely the marriage is to work.

[EmmaMary]

Well I got married when I was 25, and it's certainly done me no harm whatsoever.

[82lynx]

I’m so far past 25 with a relationship odometer at all zeroes that I wonder what the heck is wrong with me, especially since I saw the sweetest girl I can imagine gifted to another guy.

[SolitarySolace]

It’s a mistake to get married in general. But people will still do it and the majority will eventually realize it was a shit idea. Especially the men who are divorced with kids they can’t see anymore

[jshm2]

Doesn't really matter as age is not the factor. Marrying the right person is the factor.

[Lara_Croft]

That is definitely not too young. God bless that marriage in Jesus' mighty name

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

You're suppose to get marry young around at least 18 years old.

Marrying the right person is key.

[Jazzy54]

Nope. My mom was 20 and my dad was 24 when they married. They’ve been married for 34 years. It depends on the maturity of the couple.

[HaveNoName]

There is nothing wrong or right with it. It happens when it happens and age does not have any bearing on the outcome of successful or failure of marriage.

[jahaims]

I was 23 and my wife was 21 when we got married. We are still happily married. Age shouldn't be the determining factor. It should be based on your level of maturity.
