Do you think getting married at age 22 is too young?

Not necessarily.  You just need to be careful, because marriage is a big thing.  I am assuming from your nick that you are a girl so..... Marriage at any age is a big thing and not to be taken lightly.  I have to agree with the other person that answered and said as long as you feel that it won't be an obstacle for you later then, no you are not too young.\n\nWhy don't you ask yourselves these questions and then maybe you can come to the answer to your question:\n\nApart from being in love with this man and feeling all the tingles and so on, do you see yourself living with this person for the rest of your life?\n\nImportant: Do you two have the same religous beliefs, morals standards , etc...to build a solid foundation and therefore later on stability for your children? \n\nWould you die for this man?  ( I know this question is a bit harsh, but you know what, my bestfriend asked me that when I was deciding whether to get married...it really sheds a light on things).\n\nMarriage isn't all tingles...babies come along, diapers, bills, arguments, etc....if you two can go through all that, then that's really LOVE.\n\nHope I didn't confuse you.

Although it is already legal to get married at your age.  I don't think you're not emotionally ready.  If you really love one another, it doesnt matter even if you'll be separated for some time.  If you love someone, there is loyalty and committment.\n\nYou will start from scratch.  Considering that you have no money, you may have some financial issues.  \n\nDon't get married just out of your fears.  Get married when you know that he really is the man who you want to spend the rest of your life with, and be the father of your kids.

Most parents wouldn't allow their teenager to get married, and rightly so. That's just too young, really. And if there was some kind of family feud going on? Forget it!

If you aren't sure, wait.  If he really loves you, he'll be willing to wait a couple more years.  Your parents are right, the statistics on marriages before 22 are much less promising than if you wait.  The reason for this is not to say that you aren't in love now, but so many people do a lot of growing between 18 and 22.  People can completely change peronalities, life styles, morals, values, and everything in those four short years.  Being married while going to school and going through this transitional time in your life, could put quite a strain on your marriage.  Talk to him, and see if he will wait.  Never go into marriage if you don't know with all your heart that he is the one, and the only one, the one you love with all your heart, who you can imagine spending the rest of your life with, and with no one else.  Good Luck! :)

Age is just a number. I know a couple who met and married in their 70's and they both act like they are 20 plus.  Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places.

I'm 20 and my fiance is 21.. weird... same ages.. we've been together for 3 years and engaged 1.. we will have been engaged for 2 and together 4 when we get married next September. I don't think age is an issue.. you have to do whats right for you when you're ready, you can't put a time frame on love  :) if you and your boyfriend want to be engaged 20 years and have a 10 year honeymoon, by all means.. do it ... do whatever makes you happy.. life is too short to worry about what other people think =)  good luck

There is No 'Right' Age!\nWe All mature at Different Rates!\nOur Ability to Judge Our own Judgment increases with age!\nHence why Younger Folk who leap into marriage do tend to mess up!\nHope this helps You!

I believe that the legal age in most states is 18.  I know that there are exceptions to this, like for example, if a parents signs a form to give them permission, you can marry younger.\nNow, there are few 18 year olds or younger that are actually ready for marriage.  The advice that I will give to my own children will be to wait until they have graduated from college, been at least dating for a year or longer, and have pre-marital counseling before hand.  I think that with all of those things, it will at least help the chances of having a better foundation when starting a marriage.\n\nThat said, I was 19 and my husband was 18 when we got married, we were not done with college, and we were dating for...oh...about a month before my husband asked me to marry him.  We did date for about a year before we were finally married though.  We have now been married for 12 years.  We are definitely the exception to the rule, and the first few years were really hard, because we were pretty immature.  It can be done, but the chances of it lasting aren't all that great if you just jump into it.

If you are too young to marry on your own, you are too young to marry, period, even with your parents' approval.  And if you are legally old enough to marry on your own but not yet developmentally individuated enough to choose your own life-path without parental approval, you are again too young to marry, period.\n\nYou should chill out on the marriage thoughts right now.  Consider premarital sex (with condoms *every* time!) if necessary, but marriage is best reserved for those 30 and up.

I always had my heart set on meeting Mr. Right and being married by age 25, that didn't happen.  I am now 28 and I am desperately hoping to find someone and be married by age 30.  I think that this is a common way of thinking because no woman wants to be an old maid.  I also think that women tend to be more obsessed with the thought of growing old and becoming less attractive.

Hi,\n\nDont you think that is a pretty young age to get married. Does the law allow you to get married at this age over in your country. About his parents hating you, it is natural because they think that you are leading him away from them into danger, eventhough you might not be doing so.

as long as she doesn't think you're too old, then no.  When my husband and I met, I was 18 and he was almost 27.  At the time I was impressed with how much more mature he was than the guys my own age.

there is not any age limit you could put on something like that.  look at the divorce rates, how many people didnt know what they were doing when they were at whatever age they were or are.  only you can decide that for yourself.  it doesnt even necessarily mean how mature you are, you need to be old enough to have had experience and know what else is out there.  you can love someone at any age, but you just dont want to rush, everybody thinks they have to hurry these things, but just go slow, make sure that your ready so that you dont ever end up wondering what ifs.

Sure.  Why not?  If you truly love each other, I just married my husband in August and he is 14 1/2 yrs older than me.  Some times these things just work out that way.  I think it is a great idea to wait a few years to make sure things work out.  He and I were together for 3 yrs first, and yeah a job would be in order, those weddings are very expensive. And, sure, if you want to wait until your wedding night, then that is your choice.  Don't let him, or anyone else tell you that you have to.... if he truly loves you he will respect your decision.

You should wait a few more years. Besides, part of your brain doesn't finish developing until you are 25 and it is the part that helps you with serious decision making. You can take him serious but you can only have one first wedding, you want to make sure it can last FOREVER.
