Though I agree that getting married younger does carry more risk then choosing to marry older, it really just depends on the people. Anyone can make a marriage work if they build their relationship on trust, courtesy and shared goals. I got married when I was 19 GASP!!! after dating my future husband for only 1 year. He was 25 when we got married. Although I never planned on getting married at such a young age, I couldn't be happier. He is my best friend... We have been happily married for going on 5 years and BOTH of us finished college during this time and graduated Summa Cum Laude. We now both have successful careers and are planning to start a family in the next year or two. Marriage takes work and if you are not willing to put in that work, then you are all right. No one, regardless of age, should get married if they lack the maturity to realize that marriage is not a fairy tale and that it takes work to be happy. It was the best decision I ever made and I would make it a thousand times over.

That is a fact and this article is incorrect. It was very common in the past for people to get married at 18 and below. The new trend is to wait until you are older at say 21. 21 is not young, it is old compared to the age of past marriages. When I was in high school a lot of couples I went to school with got married as soon as they turned 18. They were seniors in high school. They started families and moved out of their parents house right away. That was just 10yrs ago. The age of when people get married is going up and up not down. Do the research.

People should wait to get married because of two reasons: 1. Finances and 2. Maturity. Most (not all) people aren't mature enough to be married at 21, less have children. As far as making your social life dull, that is over exaggerated and opion based. One persons fun is another persons burden. A couple of these post are ignorant. young marriages are hard because you have no money, as for having kids thats even harder. People should wait to get married because of two reasons: 1.

Anybody who gets married while still in college is setting themselves up for complete disaster. I cringe whenever I encounter people who are in college and get married or even worse, have kids. Why would you want to totally ruin your life essentially before your actual adult life even began. When you graduate from college, why would you already want to be tied down and not free to begin your career wherever and under the best possible conditions? It makes no sense. God forbid you are dumb enough to actually have a kid in your early 20s, that is the only thing I can think of that is worse than being married during college. Sure, a lot of people say they met their future spouse in college and for some morons, they actually think college relationships will last, but use some common sense for gods sake. Once you start your career and move to wherever you accept your first job, there will be an unlimited amount of young, single people who will be looking to date and go out. Why would you want to ruin that opportunity for youself before you even get to experience it? Would you rather sit at home on the weekends with your spouse, who is likely getting fatter and less attractive by the second, while all of your coworkers and new friends are going out and having fun? What a crappy life. Getting married for religious reasons? Just come out and say that you couldn't wait to have sex, so you decided to get married. That is what that is communicating to the world loud and clear. Is having sex really a reason to get married so young? You don't have enough willpower to wait? Disgusting. For both men and women, your spouse will never look better than they do on your wedding day. That is a fact. Once you get married, you will let yourselves go and once you inevitably get divorced, have kids, are damaged goods, etc, good luck entering the dating pool. Haha. Nobody will want to date you then.
