Is it ok to plan a backup marriage with a friend in case you stay single until 35y?

Give yourself until 40 unless you want kids. At 40 you're more settled in your ways and it'll be a new adventure for the two of you. Would you be marrying for convenience, to have a partner to do things with? If so, I wouldn't get married. Keep your friendship. It'll probably last longer than a marriage.

I think some people just know. they meet when they are young and know they will marry by the time they are five or something. they are jsut sole mates. if your questioning it makes me wonder if thats your case??  are you two headed in the same direction for your lives have you talked about that? Where do you see yourself in ten year, twenty years. etc

i would say it depends on WHY your getting married. My first two marrages were for medical benifits and for extra cash. i dont recommend getting married for those reasons but if it is becasue you are happy then go for it and i wish you all the best. i am only 23 and i am getting married because i want to..... and because i am happy and i know that i want to spend the rest of my life with the man i love. so yes i think 22 is early enough but quite a few ppl in here have some good answers. have you gone over your finances? and your goals in life, and i dont mean just talking about it in general but how your going to do it together and what you can do for each other to accomplish it. marrage is hard and takes a lot to make it work but it can be worth it. good luck!

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.

Well you can say one of two things.  One, you could say no if you would like a happy life when you are 30.  Or you could say yes, get married and tied down...have kids, it won't work out and by the time you are 30, you'll be looking for another guy.  Oh yeah, it's not so easy when you have kids from the previous marriage.  Plus, your body won't be the same after having the kids.  And, I don't think you'll have much of an education or work experience after getting married at 16.   Where did the last 14 years go you'll ask.

No i think that is perfectly fine!!! Well i would think that when me and my better half got together i was 20 and he was 29, 3 years later and we have a awsome strong relationship, i was ready for something serious to plant my feet into and so was he, we had alot of things in common, i mean yes there are times when i think wow hes really been around alot more then i have and i can feel a little bit intimidated, but in the long run im thankfull he has those experiances to help guide our steps, I think he has come to believe that im never going to be perfect, even though i really try to do everything well, im not completely at his level on thinking, he has more life lessons to reflect on, but i dont think its a problem when we both discuss everything and keep the lines of communication open, just like any other relationship, my best friend is in the same boat, her husband is 10 years older then her and oddly enough shes the more responcible one, i dont see why any one would think its wrong, now if you were 25 and she was 15 there might be a huge responce to you sick mo fo lol but i dont think there is anything wrong with you liking her, ask her out, she might be into older guys, and with good reason, guys that are 20-24 are enough to make you want to puke, they only want one thing, they havnt figured out yet theres more to life then a nice set of boobs lol they dont know how to deal with money worth a crap, they only look out for themselfs, where older guys have alot more figured out, theres so many more perks to dating a older guy i could go on forever, more or less your more established at 30... id say go for it :) you have nothing to lose

wait until you are 35.

Yes, you should wait until you are married.

No, you should be with someone closer to your age.  I know the difference in years doesn't sound like that many but at this age when you are growing and changing so fast, it really is.

i have 2 friend whose wife is about ten years older than them. They are all happy with their families, so i think age does not matter as long as love binds them.

Of course you can, but why don't you focus on establishing\na friendship or even a relationship first instead of thinking about marriage again already.

I was married when I was 16 and he was 18.  That was 21 years ago.  We are even happier and more in love now than when we were married.  We are each others best friend and ALWAYS make time for the other no matter what.  Communication is definately a must. You can't expect the other to know what is on your mind.  Neither of you are mind readers. ALWAYS respect each other.  Our rule is whoever gets whatever whenever.  Sometimes you need to just spice things up.  It has worked well even with having five kids from 17 down to 4 year old twins!  To really make sure it will last forever...add God and it will!

There is no expiration date on getting married. If you are not ready, then it would be a mistake for you to marry. A good friend of mine just married for the first time at the age of 46. When the right one comes along for you, then is the time to worry about it. Enjoy life!
