    Do you think it's right or wrong for two people who aren't in their twenty's yet to even consider getting married? I was just curious on what everyone thinks.

    I myself think it's perfectly fine, in the end it's their lives and if they are in love and they wish to spend their lives with each other, and are engaged or getting married already, why stop them? They aren't children and they know what they are doing. That's just my opinion though.

    I'm very in love with my boyfriend and I don't want or need anyone else but him in my life, I can see myself with him when I'm old and everything. No one can and will change my views on marriage at a young age.

    So what are your opinions?

    If you love him then there's no harm in that. Marridge is a very big thing. It's your life. NO one should tell you if you're in love no body knows what you feel. And if you feel it's right than it must be. Best wishes for the both of ya'll. God Bless 5/5

    I think it really depends on the maturity of the two people involved... I got engaged at 17, married at 19 by which time I already had 2 babies and was completely ready for settling down and spending the rest of my life with him... Although it didn't work out in the end because he could only deal with the 'for better' and 'in health' part lol...

    I don't think people should rush into getting engaged and married whatever age they are now tho... If You are sure you are going to be together for the rest of your lives what difference does it make if you get married or have a long engagement... apart from the fact the longer you are with someone the better you get to know them, the more sure you are of staying together, and the better chance of the marriage being a long, successful one...

    Sorry for blah, blah, blahhing lol... Just my opinion ;)

    Love conquers all if it's true love.

    I got engaged at 17 to marcus (Then 18) and now i'm nearing 19 and he's almost 20 and the wedding is planned for 2009 (summer)
    We have his parents and sisters behind us all the way and we are moving in together in a few short months.

    Age has nothing to do with it if the love is real.

    My opinion anyway =)

    Hmm, it's not so much 'WRONG' for me. Ok, if you're 14 and planning to get married I'd probably whack you around the face. Twice. Back hand.

    I knew a couple who engaged at 18 and then married at 20. They loved each other then and still do. But one of them missed out on a lot. Education, a decent job for herself; it had become difficult for her to stand up on her own two feet.

    So, my opinion: Once you've achieved everything you've wanted, then head for marriage.

    Everyone is giving great points and everything. Keep them coming please. I'm enjoying reading them all.

    Elisabetta: I know I am in my teens and I totally understand with what you are saying, I'm happy with what is going on. I have my freedom and everything. I'm going to college to major in photography and journalism and I will make sure I have a good job and all. I will still be how I am, I just don't have any need for other men in my life. He pleases me and makes everything alright.

    Ehhh, I know about divorce rates, my parents split but got back together 7 months later because it was taking a toll on my brother an I.

    I don't think it's wrong to consider it...all young couples pretty much talk about future plans like marriage and kids and whatnot, I know that me and my boyfriend do...so there's no harm in that I don't think. I think if you are truly in love and DO believe that it can and will work out, then go for it. I mean if he loves you and you love him, there's nothing wrong with that..

    Oh, I wasn't quoting you, Elisabetta.

    I capitalised it because that's what the original poster used.

    How is it stupid when you're in love? She obvoiusly knows what she wants to do and knows what she is doing.

    I wouldn't say it is wrong however I do think couples do not wait long enough in their relationships to get married. You are always going through different stages in your relationship and I think you should wait a while and make sure you are ready for that big step. Getting married as soon as you fall in love usually only ends in divorce.

    It is your choice of what to do.but from experience...it is better to wait til you're older and know completely what you want to do. My parents got married when they were 18....it all was great til about 5 years later. They ended up getting a divorse which has hurt me more now then it hurt them.

    I think you should wait until you are somewhat settled in your life before getting engaged. High school is a time of change- and you may not want to be stuck to the same person once you leave.

    I seriously hate to see 13-16 year olds (or around there) getting engaged. I guarantee that half of them won't last until the wedding, and most of the other half will end up in divorce.

    And -for the record- I am in love, and plan to be with the same person for the rest of my life. But I believe that he is going to be with me forever, so why should we rush something so serious when we are both so young?

    Angelina Taylor; she as in, me?

    If so. I know what I'm getting myself into. I'm not a child and I may only be 18, but just cause I may or may not get engaged at a young as does not mean I will have to marry right away. My schooling and college comes first and he knows that. He himself told me. Everyone thinks love and marriage is so easy, and that everything itself will stay the same and nothing will change. Well it does whether anyone likes it or not. You are merging two lives into one, what do you expect. I know what I am throwing myself into and I will not regret anything I make for choices. Not today, not tomorrow, not 10 years down the road.

    Well I'm glad you agree with me. xD.

  • Bled_Dry_Heart

    Ok so I read what you said and baby you have no idea what you're throwing yourself into with me. o_o....

  • Megann Lee
    17 years ago

    I'll manage baby. I love you and no one ever said it would be easy. Everyone around thinks it is, others think it's dumb. As everyone was saying it depends on how mature the two people are and everything. It's what we both want anyway and neither one of us would regret it at all.

    So please everyone stick to giving your views and not about me and my boyfriend and what we are doing or will be doing. Thank you. Lol.

  • Bled_Dry_Heart

    I may ask you to marry me now, but we won't get married until your schooling is done. And we're settled completely. I don't want to have to stick around where I am now or run away without any money. So we will be waiting. Hope you're cool with that because if you're not WELL WELL WELL...then oops? =D

    I'm fine with being engaged for a long while and then getting married when we have money and are okay on our two feet with-out the help of anyone. It's perfectly fine with me. ^=^
