do you think getting married as soon as you get out school is wise?

a lot people plan to get married most finish college before they actually get married.a lot people want to have their career behind them and then they can start their life.at what time in your life did you decide to marry and start a family.

MOre people now think of doing career first. and then some dont.
I got married first time at age 17 (dumb) but I got 3 great boys out of it after 5 years in a hell hole with that man! next time I was 24 and that lasted 42 1/2 years and 2 more kids.

I think it is a definitely not wise. The couples should think things through and consider every options or cause and effects that may happen if they get married early. Getting married means getting more responsibility. It is a life time decision so better get ready.

In my opinion, I don't think it's a wise move. But this varies from person to person and how they look or perceive about it. I think one should find a job first and become stable emotionally and financially before tying the knot and raise a family. I guess one should not be in a hurry getting married especially now that raising a family is very expensive. I'm sure everybody wants to raise their children with a comfortable life and give all the best to the children.

hi annji,
i think the right age for girls is 25 and for guys is 30 ...
some of my girl friends got married once after college, maybe their life is better , but from where i stand ... i see that they never saw the wrold alone they need that time for their own freedom ... some are even depressed
some of my male friends who got married by 20 , are divorced now ... because they got bored with the rutin in their life ...
but getting married old as is 35 like me is not good either, because i am already lacking in stamina to think of feeding baby overnight, taking them for walks .. milks...
cheers

Oh I never even finished college before I live in with my hubby, no work experience and the only career I know is being a wife and a mom but well I noticed that a lot people who have no partner when they graduated have a hard time looking for one, oh well I think it is no big deal t them because they chose that they have careers first

Absolutely not! Most people coming out of college are just beginning to figure themselves out, let alone knowing someone well enough to make a commitment as major as marriage. I think that if two people are serious about one another, they ought to go about figuring themselves out a little more first, continue dating, and see where they are once their careers take off. The irony is that when you're in college, you are constantly together and, from one perspective, it might seem like you are inseparable. But college is also full of a kind of romance....you are living in a world where your meals and housing are largely provided for you (via your parents tuition or student loans) and you aren't necessarily working a full time job and really supporting yourself. In addition, college has all sorts of social events that make the dating experience far more "romantic" then the real world might offer.
I think that if you are interested in getting married after college, you ought to, at the very least, take a year and go out and face the real world on your own. Keep dating, or maybe even take a break from each other and then come back and see where you are after that time and then, if you still feel strongly for one another, I'd say you've got something worth considering....but I think that too many people fall in love in collge and don't really have themselves figured out well enough to be able to make a steady commitment to another person.
