Thoughts about young marriage...like olden days.

[Uniquemind]

So I been thinking about my future lately and I wanted to know everyone's thoughts on marrying young (18-25) range if such an opportunity arises.


Is it antiquated, is it a fair pro/con trade off, is it great for personal growth or limiting to the young teen-adult lifestyle in this era?


Thoughts?

Again divorce is also an option with a lot less stigma than from decades ago.

I would say it depends on the situation
and if the people r mature enough to
enter into an agreement to stay-support
and love each other. Seems like marriage
today is a less option. More young people
r living together without a union.

This has way too many variables to even begin to discuss hypothetically, and knowing you I presume this is a detached, cold assessment of pros/cons vs. actually being in the situation. If it is the latter, then we need details. If the former, then it needs way more context.

If you mean getting married to dodge taxes with a prenuptial agreement to divide assets fairly in place, then still not enough advantages. Would neither party date? How would that go down with potential suitors? Imagine getting parents on board!

Good age for girls is 17 to 20 and for boys 20 to 25! Always man must be a few years older than girl because will care better for us

I think I want to get married when I'm quite young like early 20s. It will be good to have a good marriage from when I'm still young and I'm also looking forward to having sex, since I'm a Christian.

If there is someone I meet while in my late teens or early twenties that I definitely want to marry, then I will. Preferably, I would like to marry later though, give myself a time without family obligations, but that is me personally. I don't have a problem with early marriage, and for some people it works out very well, but personally I'm not stressing it.

personally i think that it would be very limiting because of the time we live in, and i wouldnt want to get married any time soon. however i know there are plenty of people who marry young and i dont think thats such a bad thing. as long as both partners are willing to make that huge commitment, completely aware of how marriage will change their relationship and all that then they should be fine

[City Kid]

I think marriage is an antiquated and unnecessary concept. I can have a great and meaningful relationship without some official document. If I ever marry, it will be solely for legal reasons. (But since I'm bi and same-sex marriage is still not legal where I live, I don't even know if I'll ever be able to marry.) So since I'm not exactly looking forward to marrying at all, I would certainly not do it at a young age.

I'm 17 now and can't imagine getting married in a year or two...especially since I want to go to college
But if you're not going to college, why not? Especially if you want to wait until marriage to have sex, lol (waiting till late 20's seems like way too much!!). My grandparents got married in their early 20's and they're still happy and together

You are boy you should marry a little late to get elderly from girl with 3-5 years maybe some more than 5 years but will be hard to you to wait so much...

[Anniebanannie]

I really think it depends on the people involved.

People got married younger back then because their lifespans were a lot shorter. Nowadays, if you get married, say, when you're 20, you'd have to be with that person for about 60 years. I wouldn't go into a marriage considering divorce as an option, if you do it will almost certainly end in divorce. Divorces are messy, not only for you but also your children, and extremely expensive. My advice would be to hold up on getting married until you are ABSOLUTELY sure you have found 'the one', because divorces are no fun to have to go through.

In my state, it is legal to get married at 14.

If it happens, I'm up for it. To me, marriage isn't anything but a pledge of your life to he or she you love, a promise to love them until death, and beyond should an afterlife exist. If I find somebody who I truly believe I can love in this way, I would gladly marry them at any age, regardless of how young I am.

Actually at least in Christianity, the marriage agreement is fulfilled upon death between a man and wife.

Anyway besides that thanks for the comments everyone.

I've decided that if it comes up, I think I'll be brave and go against my rational side and go say yes if I get asked.

There's a part of me that very strongly wants to experience this and there's this other side of my intuition that feels something dark approaching, like I'm not going to live a long life compared to generations past.

I'm not talking about suicide or anything, but just the energy has changed recently there's a disturbance I can feel.

From informations side of things there's increased radioactive leakage in the Pacific from Japan, and of course the political turmoil around the world is playing into this foreboding tribulation ahead.

At a certain point both my rational side and intuition side are narrowing to certain conclusive probabilities about the future we're gonna experience.

In that context I think I'm gonna live life just a little bit more within these next five to ten years.

I think getting married younger is a great idea. For me, I imagine MySpace of married by age 20 or 21, but that's just me.

Edit; my grandparents got married really young. My grandmother was 16 and married when my dad was born. My grandfather was 18, IIRC.

Now that you mention it my grandmother on my mom's side got married very young too. I think she was 18 or 19, so a little older than your grandma.

I think that if you find the right person and you don't want to lose them, go ahead. But I strongly think marriage should be done when older as then there is possibly less chance of unhappiness and divorce. Not sure completely though. These are just my opinions and thoughts. :what:

Well I want to have a million kids...so I suppose I will have to marry early, before all of my eggs dry up.

Which in an indirect way is another detail I'm struggling with as well.

My parents had me late, so if I have children and I want them to experience having grandparents on my side, I'm pressured to have them within 8-9 years.

i'm in the same boat. my parents had me late, and i'm an only child. so that makes me wanna have a big family.

What age can u have sex in your state?

[Olds01]

In my personal opinion, you should wait until after 25 years old to marry someone. This gives you plenty of time to grow as a person. Even though there is much less stigma regarding divorce than there was 50 years ago, there is still a stigma and it can be emotionally draining, especially because divorce takes many more resources than a standard break-up. However, everyone has their own opinions and should make decisions based on what is best for each couple.
