Do you agree that people under age 25 shouldn't get married? I think they are too young to handle the responsibility and should enjoy their freedom.

No I don't. I think there are plenty of people who have gotten married at a younger age, including me and my husband of 34 years, and have had a great long successful marriage. Many of my friends and relatives have gotten married younger than that. Sure, there are people who are too immature to handle it but I think if you wait too long that you may run the risk of becoming too settled into your own life and ways and it would make compromising very difficult as opposed to growing and changing together. I think where people fail is in picking the right person to marry and then giving up too soon if things get tough. If you are careful and give great thought to who you want to spend the rest of your life with you are more likely to be able to find that one. I don't think that necessarily takes age or many years experienceto learn. I think if you have good examples to look at and people who have had good marriages to talk to you can gain knowledge and wisdom from them to aid you in your search.

I don't think age should be a factor in a decision like marriage. I do think that you should be at least 18 (been schooled) but in many countries they would dispute this.

I disagree absolutely! My wife and I married at the age of 21, in my case 21 years and 9 days and in her case 21 years, 2 months and 10 days - I obviously prefer older women :-) Next Sunday, 29th July I'm delighted to say that we'll be celebrating 40 years of happy marriage. We have disagreements from time to time and we have blazing rows from time to time, but I'd rather have had my life than the life of anybody I know, or know of.

It's up to them. It's our right. If that is the case, then maybe selective service should move the draft age to 25, alcohol bevg. sales to 25, voting to 25.....see where I am going. If we don't voice our opinions to the govt, then we will get walked all over.
-
Yes and it would be nice if a law was created just like drinking and driving laws. Call this the infacuation law.
-
I disagree. I am 21 years old and happily married, and currently have the most stable relationship of anyone in my family going back four generations. ^_^ Personally, I had no interest in "enjoying my freedoms" as it were. I like having a house, two dogs and a garden to tend.
-
I think as long as they are both mature about their decision and are not getting married for some stupid reason then I don't think age should be a factor in getting marriage.
-
yes, for the most part i agree...there are, however, exceptions...
-
Well that's a sweeping generalisation if ever I heard one.
-
No, I think it depends on the couple.
-
It all depends, if you have a job and making a living, you can get married under 25.
-
I don't think so at all. People are very different. I know I'd probably be married now if the right guy had come along. At 22, I would probably be much happier with a husband, a house, and maybe a baby than I am here, far away from my family and living alone.
-
No, I certainly don't agree. I feel that each individual on this planet is different and each couple is also different. Furthermore, different cultures around the planet exist and to some places 21 is quite old to be getting married. I'm sure it would be very easy to argue one way or the other using specific examples of couples you may have met, but again, your generalization seems completely invalid and very narrow-minded to me. As a side note, I am 22 and have been married for 2 years and we have two children. Most people I meet think I am about 28-30, and I take it as a compliment - I am quite responsible and mature. Finally, your definition of freedom is a personal one and everyone defines it differently. Frankly, the personal enjoyment of being loved by someone who is truly my equal as well as by two young people that I actually made is a freedom all its own.
-
I think they should have the freedom to choose. I know people who at 25 are very mature and capable, and people at 50 who will never get their act together. Age is not the defining factor here.
-
Some people at 25 are very mature and can handle the responsibility of marriage.
-
25 is probably a good rule of thumb, but there are some 19 year olds who are ready for it, and some 45 year olds who are not. It all depends on the people.
-
?? No. Some should; some shouldn't. People mature at different rates, and some mature late or not at all. Some 40-year-olds are too young for marriage. A few teen-agers ARE mature enough. At 25 I'd been married for five years, had two kids and had earned a master's degree and could help my husband as he earned his doctorate. It all worked out really well.
-
Yes, but I think the number should be closer to 30.
-
100% yes. I am 25 and I would like to get married in the next few years and then wait until i am 30 to have a child. I used to want to be young...like 22 but now I think that would be a bad choice had I made that one at 22....its amazing what a few years can do to you. I think you should take your 20's and use that to get to know yourself, take care of yourself and have fun. Then settle down.
-
I don't think you can put an age on something like that. It's a very individual thing. My brother was 38 when he married his first wife and 42 when he married his second wife. Ater that divorce he doesn't plan to get married again. I was 19 when I married my husband, and we'll be celebrating our 33rd anniversary this month.
-
No I don't.
-
It depends, my husband and I were married at 25 but that's after 6 years of being together. Had we gotten married earlier it really wouldn't have made much difference. But yes, there are some people that should wait, who rush into it.
-
mostly yes
-
in my perspective...a person should enjoy their youth for as long as possible because once it goes it will never come back but who's to say when a person is mature enough to get married...humans vary and so it really isn't about what society believes to be the right age to marry...it's more how emotionally mature and ready one is to take on the responsibility of being married
-
I think honestly age is a minor factor. My wife is 26 and at times i cant tell if she was ready for marriage. These types of things have to do with how mature you are.
-
It depends on the person.
