it CAN, it usually doesnt, but it really has just as much viabilty as any other marriage. My friend married at 17, her hubby was 18. They are still happily married at 35. Ive known people who refused to marry until their 40's and then divorce after one year.

Too young is casting your fate to the wind and crossing your fingers and hoping it will turn out. You can be 50 and be too young if you don't have the necessary tools to be successful. 1. Know that the romance factor ends after the first few big crises. 2. Have money and good job security. 3. Agree on what you both want for your futures, kids, relious beliefs, etc. 4. Go into it with putting the other person first always.

I was 18 and my husband was 24 when we married, and thirty years later we are still married. We've gone through some very tough times, but have worked our way through. It can work, depending on the couple, and being willing to work at it, and knowing it's always a two-way street.

We were engaged at 18 and married at twenty. We have been together 15 years and people still think we are newly weds. Problem is as people grow older they change, some people change apart, some people change together. By the time you are older you are more set in your ways and change less so you are less likely to be surprised by your mates changes.

My neighbors at my last residence had married at 14 and 19. They are still married now, and are pushing seventy. They are also still very much in love. Old enough boils down to when you are ready to be responsible and selfless. For some that comes at fourteen and for others it hasn't come by sixty.

From what I understand ; 65% of ALL marriages / Relationships are DOOMED to FAIL .... The Younger you are in a Marriage / Relationship ; the MORE LIKELY it is to FAIL .... which leads us to believe that You CAN Marry Too YOUNG ... +5

According to marriage statistics, teen marriages have high failure rates, but the risk levels off in the early twenties: http://www.smartmarriages.com/marriage.reports.html However, an individual's maturity should also be taken into account. Some people are ready at age 18. Others are not ready until many years later. At any age, you should make sure that you can support yourself and be prepared to make reasonable sacrifices as needed for your partner's health and happiness.

I was 19 and that was too young.It might have been ok for some but not for me,It would not have mattered what age I was. It was never going to survive me wanting a career when the children were grown.Lasted 29 years.

Of course! It's rare, but possible. My parents married when they were teens & are still going on strong today. However, it'll take a lot of work. People change...well, they change all the time, but even more so when they're young. It takes a pretty mature & grounded couple to survive the odds.

usually when people say someone married "too young" they mean that the marriage didn't work out. If they married really young and they had a wonderful marriage looking back at it people say "oh it was love at first sight for these two, and they staid together since they were in high school or whatever. It's all a matter of what people see of it.
