do you think marriage at the age of 20 would last forever?

There are tons of factors against their sucess, however, they can go into the relationship w/o tons of expectations from other relationships.  Plus, less baggage!

It hits you when you least expect it.  Then, after 1 1/2 to 2 years that "in love feeling" subsides and then the relationship takes work, communication and discipline to survive.  If you both put work into it, you'll become closer and love each other more and more.  If you think you'll just be in love forever no matter what, you're in for a rude awakening.  This is why some people marry someone different about every 5 years because they "just fell out of love with them."  Anyone who tells you differently has never been married for longer than 7 years.

Certainly there is a chance of one marrying their first love.  \n\nI wouldn't  recommend it, though.\n\nWe change so much as we grow up.  What one feels is important in a partner when one is 16-20 years old changes greatly when one gets to 35-40 years old.\n\nAs you mention, there's always a chance of thinking "I've missed out".  In a sense, one would have done.  How does one know that they would have chosen the same person to marry, if they hadn't experienced life and other lovers beforehand. \n\nThe best time, I would guess, to get married would be from the age of 28 years old for a woman, and from 30 years old for a man.\n\nThat way, one would have "lived" a little and should have a better idea of the qualities, etc, that their life-partner will have, so ensuring their marriage lasts.

You can fall in love at first sight and it can last a lifetime.  But just remember that in order to have a relationship or marriage with it requires a foundation of trust, understanding, commitment, friendship, etc.

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

I think that you are way too young to make a life decision like marriage. Despite what is shown on television and what celebrities do, marriage is supposed to be a life commitment. Do you feel that you can commit your life to someone at such a young age? Do you want to go to college, Does she want to go to college? How would this effect your relationship? Have you sat down and REALLY discussed the ramifications of getting married. Where would you live afterwords (with your parents?), how could you afford living together, etc.  It might suit both of you to speak to a third party, like a pastor or even a counselor before taking the plunge. You sound like a nice person, but remember the old saying (and Elvis song), Only fools Rush In

It depends on who the person is and if they are ready to settle down, I am 35 and I am ready to settle when I was younger no way not ready, but now I feel I am ready for that long term commitment. my reason for waiting so long i didnt want to marry and than 1yr end up in divorce, when i marry I want it to last.like the vows dill death do us part...

It should be different in everyone's case. Personally I don't think it can last, because teenage couples are more excited and does a lots of things that makes harder to be with each other later on. But it is human we are talking about, it is much possible some times to do exceptional things and make it possible. But that's exception, in general as my observation says, probably there is 0.00001% chance for a teenage couple to last long.

yes its too young to consider getting married, most definitely, planning for your education and future however are wise moves. definitely wait until after college, you have so much left to experience and who knows what will happen? people grow and change alot at your age and i promise you that neither one of you is now who you will be at 30 or 25 even. if its going to work and you are going to stay together you will stay together through college and you can get married when you are in a position to make it work and support yourselves and your family.

I wouldnt' get married for a long........time. But then if we lived that long they would probably change the age like we couldnt drive until were thirty or something. I would be young and wild for about 80 years. then settle down. i would have had a million jobs. It would be crazy!!!!!

All I have to offer is experience...28 years of being married to the same guy. I got married at 20, had my first child at 23 and second child at 26. It really depends on the couple. Marriage, like parenting, is very hard, emotional work. If you're not up to the emotional part, stay single. I know people who got married younger than I and are still married. They worked through lots of hard stuff, but always stuck together. It's called commitment. Staying together through all the tough stuff...even adultery (eveything is forgiveable). You really have to think through why you want to get married, no matter how old you are. It's all about maturity and commitment. I told my husband to make sure this is what he wanted because I didn't believe in divorce...only murder!! So, if you're asking if it's ok to get married at a young age, I think you need to think long and hard about why, and talk about it long and hard with your sweetheart. If you've both considered all the good and bad, plus talked with a pastor, and your parents, then think about this information carefully. If it's something you're both committed to do for the rest of your lives, do it. Don't be another divorce statistic. <*)))><

24, recently married.  I feel that you should be over 20, also have some direction in life before you drag someone else into it.  But if it is true love you will know with out any doubts.

No..  I just wonder how long their marriage would last..  Now days, they last less than 10 years..  Very few are still married more than 10 years...  HMMM  What's wrong with this picture..  Do they understand what their VOWS means????  When they say the VOWS, I guess they took some of the words out or change the wording...  It would not be "Until death do us part"..  It would be "Until we find someone else do us part"...

I heard the same thing when I was dating my husband. \n\nI was 20 and he was 23 when we got married. People at our wedding said it would never last.\n\nWe've been married for 9 years this June. \n\nGood luck with him. Always communicate. Don't restrict each other (except when it is something that could threaten the relationship). Have hobbies together and apart.

Not at all. Forget about one year u can marry 20 years younger man. It is a matter of your choice. Most of Holy Prophet ( PBUH) wives were older than him. Allah ( God) gives u complete authority to choose your partner

yes. Notice people married for decades than all of the sudden one of them dies. More likely than not the other half will die shortly there after
