My mom was 19 when she married my dad and he was 26.  They've been married over 25 years.  My husband and I were both 19 when we got married and we couldn't be happier.  The question is, are you two mature enough to get married.  Remember that marriage is a very big step.  People don't take it seriously anymore.  If you chose to get married, honor your vows, and remember, God will always consider the first person you marry to be your spouse unless the marriage is annulled.  You have to put that person first in everything you do and they need to do the same.  It really helps to go to a counselor before saying "I do".  I don't believe there is a certain age to get married but I do believe alot of people get married before they are ready.  Good luck!

Marriage is a life time commitment and 18 is a bit young to know what you really want in your life.  At 18, you are still in the very beginning of your life and there are still many things for you to experience.  I understand that if you actually consider to marry this guy, you must really love each other.  Ask yourself this, will you be happy to spend the rest of your life with him?  If you are sure of that, maybe you should seriously consider marrying him(provided that he feels the same).  Some people actually got married at a very young age and have ever lasting marriages, it really depends on the couple.

I think the maturity level of the two persons involved makes a difference, I mean if you are both willing to accept each other for who you are and for how well you get along, similar interests, good communication, respect, and love. If things are good between the two of you, age should not make a difference. My boyfriend is 22 years younger than I am, we have been together for over two years and things are great! I know what you are talking about though. Finding the right person to share your life with is difficult enough. Age should not be an issue. Let him know this, and let him know how you feel about him, that's about all you can do, the rest is up to him.

The law has a name for this: statutory rape.\nSweetie, I'm 17 and I am not thinking about marriage.  Sorry, but whatever you may think, you are not old enough to understand any of the feelings that come with a serious relationship.  For the future (and I am talking many years) if you truly love a guy and he pops the question, think of living with him, only having him, in 25 years.  If you can picture it then you should be fine.  Do not ruin your life.  You are still in middle school!!!  Enjoy high school and college then worry about marriage.

It really depends.... how long have you been together? how long have you known each other? Getting engaged is a major commitment that you have to ask yourself if your ready to make to a 17 year old. If you are convinced its the right thing to do and think she feels the same then do the old fashioned thing.. ASK THE PARENTS permission!!! If shes not 18 yet shes not getting married til she is anyway and if her parents disapprove well, then chances are shes doing it out of rebel ion not love! But 17 year olds can be very mature and if you 2 are happy you'll know when its the right time.

I am 27, and my husband is 40.  When we started dating I was 20 and he was 33.  While there's not anything wrong with it, my experience has been that we are at very different points in our lives.  For example, I am just getting settled in a career job (teaching), and thinking about starting a family; he is not sure about a family at this point (looking ahead to retirement) and wants to start travelling the world.  So it can be difficult in a lot of ways.  But that being said, he's a wonderful guy and I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything!\n\n(Huh, apparently judging by the comments above, we must be some sort of sickos....who knew?)

well dear , i think you are still too young , he is already 13 years older than you even though the age doesn't matter SOMETIMES, but you both can not be like each other much , because he is nearly grown man and your so young . And its very soon for you to start relationship with a man , am sure when you get older ; your ideals will be changed , and may be you will regret for choosing him and may be not as well. As you know relationship in young ppl would be ended very soon, because its not strong love , and no enough reason , most of them are sensitive decisions. And  i think its better you fall in love slowly but sensibly \n, if you do that your Love will grow by age and your relationship would not be finished so quickly and nothing can disturb this.\n\nGood Luck darling

I just got married and im 21....my husband is 21 also and we are very happy.  We have know each other for years and are both working with great jobs.....He is a US Marine and i am a teacher.  I dont think u can put a number (age) for marriage.....i dont think it works that way.  Its about the way you feel and if you yourself is ready for something as big as marriage.  Age is just a number.

My boyfriend is 43 and I am 25.  We have been together for 3 years now and it is the best relationship I have been in.  I couldn't imagine ever dating somebody my own age again.  They are so immature and in this relationship I feel like there is stability.  I think he will definitely stay with you because men like younger women and if you are good to him and he is good to you, it will work.

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.

I personally dont think so I started dating my fiance at the age of 16 and he was 22. But it really depends are how mature you are. \nYou must remeber he is 7 yrs older than you. So he has experienced alot more than you have. You must ask your self if you think he is willing to let you take your time in certain aspects of your relationship. And that he understands your needs and wants at your age.  \n\nWell good luck for the future

I am going to live with my boyfriend soon. And I would not want to be married before having lived together for at least a couple of years.\nBut hmm 14 years, that is a long time. Maybe he is just one of those millions of people that does not value the institute of marriage.

If I was dating someone for 7 years and they haven't popped the question yet,.I would start to think if I am waisting my time or not.  No offense but If this man doesn't want to get married and you do,..then maybe he's not the right one for you.  You need to just be strong and try to tell him that you want a life long partner, not a life long boyfriend.  You only live once so take the time you have and make the most of it!!  good luck

I think that you should get married if you really love him and you want to be with him for the rest of your life and the military life is hard but if your strong enough you can get through it. I'm 20 too and I'm married to someone in the military and it did not matter that I was only 19 when I got married. I know who I wanted to be with it and there was no point in me waiting until I was older.

dont get married .... unless your a positive you are both perfect for each other at least wait till your 20 you change over time and just because you are good toether now doesn mean you'll be good together later (forever is what marriage means)you'll both change over time and not nessecarily in the same way

As long as two adults find a common ground, they work. My BF is 20 years older (I'm 27) and I can't imagine my life without him. We are on the same level in so many ways - maturity, goals, opinion, etc. Like any relationship, it comes down to a balance of give & take, acceptance, and respecting each other. I believe people come into our lives for a reason, and we learn and grow from them. Being in love is the greatest feeling in the world and age shouldn't stop anyone from experienceing it.

its normal,i would think its best to date some one who is at least 7years older than you if your thinking about a serious relationship,you wouldn't expect the sort of control and authority from some one your age which you would find from some one older.therefore your its absolutely normal and your on the right track
