well i was married at 18, because we ended up having kids early. opps.. but we had to leave with her parnets. my thought is if this isn't the case then they should be ready for thier own place to live.
if both are working and can afford to be on thier own, i see it's ok. but if they don't have a job or money for thier own place, then i think they should wait to become stable to be on thier own.

well, honestly, maybe it's there choice to get marry at that young age.. we can't really say no to that because it's their choice.. but for me, i will not allow myself to go on that kind of commitment because it's not that easy having a family.. your commitment not only to God but also to your husband and children is very hard.. 19 years old, for me is not that matured enough to face the being married..yes, for you it would be ok as long as it's within God's will.. but, in reality, it's really hard..hoping that she/he can manage as a father/mother and as a husband/wife..just only pray for the good of their family, and they need a guidance still, from the parents and guidance from the Lord..is that you who are you talking about?

For me, it's a young age to get married. Even thoug, 19s exceeds the legal age to get married, yet I find it so young to enter such kind of commitment. Marriage is a tough one and it involves emotional, moral, financial and spiritual preparedness before one wishes or desires to enter it. It is a tough responsibility which should not be taken so easily. Even 25 year old male or female has inhibitions to get married, how much more of a 19 years old. Marriage responsibility should be taken seriously and with maturity.

a bit too young in my point of view. but hey, who am i to judge. If the person is matured enough or under unforseen circumstances, then *shurgs*
i'd wish them all the best and be happy for their match.

Hi Icee, I had a friend which is just married when she was 20 years old, and now she had 2 children. So actually I am not thinking that 19 is too young for me, I think this is the best year for married if you meet your mr. right.
