Thoughts About Young Marriage

My partner and I have been together for almost 2 years now and we have discussed getting married for about the past 6 months. Then this thought came to me the other day about how we are so young still (I'm 20 and he's 19). I get lots of people saying because we are so young it won't last and that we should wait awhile before we get married because you never know. Just wondering if anyone else got married at around this age and are still together after years and if you had people telling you the same thing.

Whether it lasts is up to the pair of you. I have been married for more than 30 years and I can tell you it takes work, every single day. Will you do things wrong? Of course you will. Will you argue? Of course you will. The key is to be prepared to work through things with a level head.

Well I constantly say I am surprised he is still with me. I'll admit I am not an easy person to live with. I have many mental health issues including anxiety and ptsd. There will be times when I just scream at him for unreasonable things and I go nuts. He gets upset with me and I don't blame him but in the end he understands that I am not truly mad at him, just with the situation. He's been through a lot with me, so it's not that I don't think we could make it but I find it annoying that everyone doubts us.

Example of others is not going to help you much. If you both have good level of understanding and if you both understand what a marriage mean to both of you, you could go ahead. All the best.

I dont think trying to find out couples who married at young age like yours and are together after years and taking that base will guarantee a successful marriage for both of you.
I completely agree with what Mr. Peter B. Giblett has said, its completely up to you guys.
What people say is not the assessment of your abilities its the assessment of their own abilities. Listen to what your gut hast to say and go with it.
