It really depends on the person. I have met some very mature 19-year-olds. I have met a great many immature 19-year-olds.

Yes. It is my personal opinion that at that age you should live together for at least a couple years to see what it is going to be like before getting married.

I don't think so if one is older. I was 18 when I got married and my husband was almost 23. He had already been out of his parents' house for many years, a good job, out on his own and capable, doing his finances, cooking and cleaning for himself. And I was mature for my age. He had thought on meeting me that I was close to his age, and I was only 14. So we also knew each other for 4 years and yes, we waited for the wedding night, never sleeping together. We've been married now for nearly 35 years. It really depends how mature and ready you both are and your personal circumstances. I do think 18 is very young and I don't tell 18 yr olds to jump into marriage. But if they are truly ready, I know from experience it is possible, with two dedicated people who talked about their goals and what they both wanted out of life, children, housing, finances, religion, everything discussed seriously before, even before you fall too much in love and realize it's not going to work and you can't stop.

I say 18 is to young, unless you have been dating since you were 15. Don't get me wrong, I just think 18-22 people change out especially from getting out of high school. You are on your own, you really start to find out about yourself and what you really like. Your priorities change. Your outlook on stuff changes. I was with a girl when I was 18 and we were in love. We said when we both get out of college we would get married. It didn't work out and it was good that we didn't rush into getting married. You see old couples that have been married for 40-50 years, and I just think you don't need to rush into marriage because 2 years of a 50 year marriage isn't much, so if it is meant to be it we always be their. Just don't rush into it.

I'm 18 and engaged to my 20 year old boyfriend. We're going to wait at least a year or two, but I don't think getting married young is a divorce sentence for everyone. It really depends on the couple, regardless of age. My father is 50 and recently divorced a woman he married two year ago, whereas my aunt and uncle got married at 19 and are still madly in love 30 years later. Divorce happens to people of all ages. Yes, it is harder to make a marriage work when you're young. If you're not working, or at least in school, it'll be even harder. Only you'll know if it's the right time for you though. Just make sure that you're mature enough to stick with it when it gets tough. Remember that there will be days that you don't know why you ever got married, and days that you feel like you hate your spouse. If you don't think you can work through those days, then you're not ready.

It depends on how mature you are.
