do you think 19 is too young to be married?

I think it totally depends on the couple and their individual situation. I was 24, almost 25. I think that was a great age for me. I was old enough that I had been able to do quite a few things (travel, finish studies), but still young enough that I could have kids at a decent age and yet still spend some alone time with my husband.

Only you can make that decision but I think it is very rare that marriage at that young of an age actually lasts. It does happen, but it's very rare. I'm 29 now and when I think back to being 19 I realize that I was still immature and naive about what love really was. GOOD LUCK!
