Early Marriage: What are your regrets?

my son went with his g/f for almost six years and there marriage did not last one year as my son found a g/f on the internet and went off the deep end and divorced my daughter in law..he was 26 years old and my daughter in law was a college graduate and about the same age...but she was a very sweet girl and i loved her and like her mom and dad..but they had a wonderful wedding in 1997 and it was a big affair...very formal..but people really change and not always for the good.. since then I have not seen my son much as he has changed so much and became a stranger..my wife can't undertand the change either but does not say anything. Being that my wife is a Filipina she does not consider divorce an option..but she and I just have each other and that is something...but we have a home in Bacolod City, Sumat and we will retire there..but right now we are retired in Monroe, Michigan and must sell this house and after May I st. we will start making plans but we got married a lot older then you guys...but good luck..and don't take anything or anyone for granted because people change..i thought I knew my son..but i guess i did not...he said he would never have any children..ever..as he is too selfish..

Early marriage is good when you are very sure of each other and waant to start a family fast. It is better to get your children before the age of thirty. In my case the question never rose because I am fifty tyears old and we are conditioned to submit to an arranged marriage and as a woman make plenty of adjustments with the determination to see that the marriage does not fail. Education, financial independence had no role in this. I am educated and have got a capital from my father too. This has nothing todo with adjustment. Though adjustment is expected from both sides it was an unwritten rule that the woman had to give more.-[this is valid in our days]Unless there was some drastic maladjustment we have to stick it together.I have no regrets because we have had a good understanding an dgood life. In modern times it is different.Though the saving grace is that you have known each other for a few years now. However the moment you get married you both suddenly grow up and the rosy period of romance may bring in thorns. Make a determination to weather all storms and get married.It is within you to make it work.

My fiance and I have been together for about four and half years. I'll be 21 when we get married. I personally don't see anything wrong with it so long as your responsible and self-aware enough to know what you're doing. I would also recommend living together for about a year before you get married to cut down on those "trapped" feelings you may have getting married young.

My husband and I got married when we were both 20. We had been together about 2 years when we got married. We lived together first, which I think was a plus. I was engaged before him, but when I moved in with my fiance we couldn't stand each other. So anyways, we got married when we were 20. This July we will be married for 7 years. I think my biggest piece of advice is to wait atleast a year to have kids. I got pregnant 6 months after we got married. It was rough on us, suddenly are newlywed phase was interrupted by me being pregnant and getting big and then a newborn baby. We have struggled through our problems and while we still have issues we're dealing. Keeping the lines of communication open is big. Once that goes or trust goes, its pretty much only a matter of time in my opinion. Which is where some of our problems lie. All in all I'd have to say I don't have any regrets. I live in a big house, have 3 beautiful children and I get to be a stay at home mom.

Early marriage sometimes is a big NO.. unless you get to know that person really well. Like me i dont like my marriage to fail.. thats why i have to know from my heart if this is the right person.. There is no need to rush on things.. sometimes people regrets and that will never do them any good .. people are impulsive sometimes
