Depends on whether you and your partner are ready to make such a huge commitment... No age is really too young (within reason) and it just depends on how strong your feelings are... mybe give it a bit more time to be sure? In the end, it is completely up to thhe pair...

The world will tell you that it is .....that the smart thing to do is experience life , fulfill ambitions , get an education , travel , live together to be sure that you are compatible.

If that is so smart , could someone please explain to me why it is that 50% of marriages now end in divorce ..? Why people are disatisfied..?

To answer your question , it all gets down to your level of commitment & your reason for marriage . If it is to honour God & each other .... because you want to commit to each other , then the answer is that it definitely isn't too young .Both of our daughters were 19 when they married & both have strong , healthy marriages one now for14 yrs & the other 10. Sure you may do it tough materially for a while but what is more important ...stuff or relationships ?

Yes it is to young. You should be enjoying life, dating others, living on a college campus, partying in cancun, shopping,meeting people, building relationships,practicing safe sex, thinking about your career( unless you want to work at walmart), look at the people you know who are not thinking about marraigeand who are enjoying the lack of real responsibility.Get to know you and what you want and leave the spouse on the back burner until you are at least 30 and stable

That's a tough one...I really think it depends on the couple, their maturity levels, and the overall reason/situation for getting married in the first place...(most 19 year olds aren't getting married because they found the love of their life...know what I mean?)...

.................

nope not really but it also depends on the person but for example i have a cousin whos about to get married at the age of 16, so yeah it aint too young

YES!
of course it is ALWAYS relative, but if you really love each other, or they (I donno if it's about you, or in general), you can still wait a few years, because it would be better to wait a few years to be more sure, than to get married and realize after a few years that it's not meant to be and get a divorce :S
mentalities change from one phase to another, u r not the same person when u r 19 and when u r 24, and not the same person when u r 24 and when u r 30 for example... and it's the worse when marriage occurs, and then a baby is conceived and the couple relaizes they can't go on together :|

never too young never too old

unless it's like extremely young O_O

but aahhh , idk . i don't think so... as long as they love each other.

but no?

Yes, Think again. At the age of 19, you haven't seen or learned what you should before taking a big responsible decision as marriage regardless of how mature you are, you might be surprised because it is hard to commit and devote your whole life to someone at a young age!

Yes it is too young...I got married at 24 and now I think that it was too young too...sure I have a great family but if I had to do it all over again, I would wait more...so 19 is definitly too young

alexweb8

Yeah. I'd wait a few more years! Good luck!

mellay

if you are both ready for the commitiment i say go for it

Anything under 45 is too young

Age is just a number, it really depends on the community you are living within, in some countries they get married much earlier, in Europe, girls dont get married but they do break their virginity (against the law) at 15, sometimes 12, if marriage was allowed at that age, maybe you would find couples at that age... in other words, it really goes back to how mature the community, sometimes you are so mature and open minded at 15, but the community around you does not accept it because they see you as a kid, I say, dont break the rules its not worth it, sometimes 19 is just a child! sometimes its mature and wise, if the people around you do not have a problem with it, ask yourself, am I extremely in love with this boy/girl? if yes, DO NOT MARRY HIM/her! extreme emotions are a sign of immaturity... am I willing to have a child at the age of 20? and if I do, do I have my family's support? if no to either, I suggest you wait until you can handle the situation yourself. Is this marriage supposed to be some kind of message or rebel, don't do it... if you are just asking because your questioning the judgement of marriage at 19, then most probably you are mature enough to marry at that age, but do think about education, and bear in mind that nineteen is still "teens" you are expected to love punk rock or rap and romantic comedies :) if you don't, you are mature, lol

Yes it is, because you haven't fully experienced life yet. If you are planning on doing post-secondary education wait until you have been a few years into that or later. Basically wait until you know the relationship wouldn't conflict with how you want to live.

People used to get married at ages like 12, 14, and stuff. I wouldn't consider 19 too young but I would wait a bit though. If you don't NEED to get married, then don't.

Tom S

yes, I think it is. People change around the age of 25. I suggest waiting until then. Good luck!

Depends on the maturity of the person. Some women just want to get married and it is their only goal in life.Good for them!! I feel a person should have some experience in the world, meeting and dating all have a bearing on maturity. Seeing different sites, travelling to places if only for vacations all help develop the personality of the individual. And what about educating yourself for the future? Won't marriage inhibit that? Women should have a profession that they can depend on. Should that be a consideration prior to marriage ? Under very few conditions should marriage take place at 19 years of age.

mrl

yes

depends on how mature u are

broken_insidee

i dont think its about how young you are but how serious and committed you are to the relationship my friend married at 18 and is now 25 still happily married...with 1 kid...so it depends it your serious.

it's springtime and love is in the air, if you are old enough to die for your country you should be old enough to make life long decisions no matter what you see to be a downfall for someone, good luck, big hugs

lacrosse101

No. I believe that 18 is the approximate limit. At least be out of high school.
19 is a fine age for marriage.

~Teri Lynn~

It depends on the person's maturity level and whether or not they have the same goals as the person they plan on marrying.

szuu

nah.. people used to get married much younger, but then again back then women were married off unite families like business transactions and were seen as property ("Man and wife" as oppose to "Husband and wife").

However, while 19 theoretically isn't young, at that age you are still a kid and it wouldn't hurt one bit to use the money toward an education rather than a wedding to ensure a better future for you both.

Only if you're not sure what you really want out of life. If you're dead set on loving this person for the rest of your life then go for it.

rosnjust

if you are ready for marriage it is fine with you. but if you don't have the assperations of traveling to different places. attending a university and living on campus and going out with friends and living a young life than that is fine. to me 19 is young.

Sports Jesus 23

No, not at all. If you feel you are mature enough to handle the responsibility of marriage, and can support you and your spouse, and eventually a family(if that is your plan). If you feel you are able to handle it, then let wedding bells be heard in your future. Good luck!

I got married when I was 19 and then got a divorce when I was 20. We were both too young, even though we new each other for a total of 7 years. We were friends for 2 years, dated for 4 years, and married for 1 year. I'm 25 now and I realize what a mistake we had done by getting married so young. When we get older we all change. The divorce rate is high for teenagers and people in their early twenty's. If it's you who is thinking about getting married then you should wait a few more years so that you can gain more maturity.
