What is so bad about getting married at 18?

I think that for a lot of people 18 would be too young to get married but it depends upon the circumstances I think. Some people would not be mature enough to get married at 18, they would not be emotionally or financially ready. This isn't the case for everyone though, I congratulate you on your marriage, I think it's cute that you met your husband when you were 10 :).

Being 18 is not that bad to get married, compared to a 16 year old. The only problem with this is that for sure you are not yet done with college and to be married is a hindrance to finish that course. It's a fact in a corporate world today that education or the degree that you finished is very very important. Without a diploma, you will find it very hard to land a job that pays a decent amount. Others will comment like that based on experiences, from the stories they've heard from their relatives or friends. They are not discouraging you to get married but they are just there to remind you to think twice before you jump into some sort of craziness. Let's say your parents are there to help you, but they are not going to be there forever. You have to be learn to be independent. As to your question, YES 18 is a still a young age to get married. If you guys love each other, it can wait. You don't have to hurry. Take time to talk about it seriously. Marriage is not game.

If you both genuinely love each other then of course it is not too young. You are already are an example for others! People also don't seem to be looking at this through rose tinted glasses, & u seem very mature for a 18 yr old, if u married then! Some people do advise against it, it is after all a massive commitment. But only you both know how you truly feel about one another. Some people regret that they didn't do this or that So i can say, you made the best choice

There is nothing wrong, if you have the right arguments. And you have those arguments in plenty. Go for it, and let the people be jealous of the fact that you know so soon what it is that you want.

I dont think being married at 18 is too young not at all.

I say, you'd married to early. Your dreams and goals will only be dreams and nothing else. Thiese dreams and goals should be done before you got married and have childeren. The fact you married so early is you didn't have any goals and dreams in your live. I am sorry butt that's a fact!

Because some are afraid to give themselves to someone else. God states that a man and woman must leave their parents home and become one or something like that. If you are strong in the lord you can do it let no one separate what god has brought together. God bless and keep up the good marriage show them that you can and will have a happy marriage.

I wouldn't want my child to get married at 18, because the odds are against it working. It's nice to hear a story where it really did last.

i am with you on that, i do not think 18 is to young for marriage. in my eyes age is just a government number and you mind is your real age. if you act just 18 then you are to young but if you are 18 and act 25 then why not?

you will not going to enjoy being single, early resposibilty, get ready to have more limitations, and specially u can't go out or flirt with someone else

yes,i do not agree with that getting married at 18 years old.it is too early.i do not think that they are so mature that can understand the love, the liability,the real-life,and many homework and looking after their family. i see that you and your husband love each other very much,and i believe you will be happy if you can change you life with other ways.hope you happy !

Good that you find your soulmate and get married at a very young age.Its not bad at all.On the other hand for me, in getting married we must consider the following important factor.Both must be physically, emotionally,spiritually and financially stable.Good for you that you feel ready at a very young age..well all i can wish is a long lasting married life....i know you'll gonna encounter many ups and downs in your realtionship i just hope that in your young age you will be able to surpass all of that.I just hope.... Good luck :)

It depends on the person to be able to say if its too young or not. If your happy what is the problem, surely thats what most important? Getting a divorce will just make you unhappy so whats the point. I really don't believe divorce for no reason, its a commitment and you can't just run off because you got pregant too soon. Life is unpredictable and sometimes things happen that we don't plan or expect but at least you were married before you got pregnant i'm sure they would have a lot more to say on the matter if you weren't. I know people who married young and are still very happily married and with kids. I guess it depends on the couple, their maturity and what you both want out of life. Some people love the idea of this while others don't want marriage and kids until they have too. I can see why people are saying its too young, at 18 you still have a lot of learning and life to live but at the same time kids don't have to hold you back like people make out they do. If your determined you can still do all those things, again i know a mother who had her child at 17. She had the baby, finished school and went to university and is doing all the things we did at that age while having a child. I'm not saying everyone should do it, far from it but i do believe that if thats what you want then why shouldn't you?

poverty. this is an ugly thing that rears it head..if you have the means to live a good and wholesome life you will probably do well and raise a healthy family with good relationships but these are trying times and the lack of formal education is very hard to overcome at an early age. it is not impossible to obtain a life of prosperity but it will take a lot of mature working together as marriage is mostly on the women's shoulder to see that the homelife is kept running smoothly. this is not sexist but reality as most men are not mature at any age for marriage and if you have a good mate (partner) that will help you with the rasining of the children, provide a proper and SAFE home and provide domestic tranquillity then you will fare well. Finding peace in these days is not an easy task and you will find that two heads and four hands work better then one head and two hands...I have spent a lot of time and money on relationships but if both people are not focued on the same common goal (mutual happiness) then the marriage will not be a happy one...but good luck..people change..and not always for the good.

to some, getting married at 18 is a very early age. but i cannot say that getting married at 18 is bad. it depends upon the view of people.

I think for me it would be too young. I'm almost 18 and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years but am not ready for marriage. My boyfriend is way too immature and we are having too many issues at the moment. For us i think it's best to see if we survive University then talk about it.

Heck no. I'm gonna let my children get married at 16 years of age!))))) You folks be proud!)))

it is not bad at all but at proper age u will mentally strong 2 handle the situation

I think so... 18 you don't lived nothing... but if you really love him , is the rigth.

Well, for one thing, you never get a chance to experience what other people have experienced when they just became an adult. They can go to parties, and not to worry about anything except getting a hangover the following morning. But I guess being married when you are 18 gives you the sense of responsibility.
