I'm 18 my fiance is 19. By the time we are married he will be 20 and I'll be 19. People seem to have this idea that you should waig until you're over 25 to get married. Are their any young married or engaged couples out there. Any advice

    Everyone is different period! My hubby proposed when I was 22 and he was 27. Went to the courthouse at 23 and now we’re officially planning our wedding at 25. Now I do understand that you’re not the same person when you’re 22, that changes. But the LOVE you have for that person shouldn’t unless you really didn’t love them that much . I guess I feel some type of way because people always say I’m so young 🙄 There’s a quote from Sophia Bush that states “ Marriage is not about age, it’s about finding the right person”. I just tell people I’m just blessed to find the love of my life early in my life . But it’s really to each it’s own 🤷🏽‍♀️

    I met my soon to be husband at 19. He was 20. We have been together ever since and we're 25 and 26 respectively. There is nothing wrong with choosing to be with the one you love forever at a young age. You just grow older while growing together.


    Best wishes for you both!

    Young bride over here! It’s a great thing to get married young. Statistics show that you two get to grow TOGETHER. Therefore your relationship flourishes because the things you do you end up building a schedule together versus those that wait. We have watched each other grow up & learned from each other the whole way. Remember the struggles are what makes a relationship stronger. You don’t have to be doing really well financially either. Start out in a crappy apartment when you’re married and go on from there. It is doable. Good luck!

    That is what I said. If someone asks me my opinion about age I will say that I feel most people change and sometimes love does change. I do agree not everyone that marries young will not stay together forever because I am sure there are exceptions and hopefully this couple will make it work. Any couples regardless of age can grow together. I will argue your point by saying there is also a difference between 18 and 22 when you got married. But this young lady seems mature and if she and her FH truly love each other then that is what is most important. I can see why you are defensive because you have been in your position and if I say someone is too young it is not my intention to be disrespectful and yes every person is different but I just know myself and my friends were not the same in our twenties just even how we handled life because we have experienced some life experiences. However, I never would tell someone not to commit to someone they love regardless of age but she asked what we thought about age and so we are expressing our opinions about the topic. I wish everyone young and older the best whenever they find the love of their lives. Smiley smile

    Just like many of the others have posted. It really is situational. And everyone is different. As someone said you will be a different person 10 years from now. So it is very important to really evaluate your reasons for marrying so young.no matter your reasons, I wish you all the best.

    It really depends on maturity like everyone else is saying. I am older than my FH, I met him in my mid 20s, I've had more relationships than him and have grown and changed so much since I was a teenager. We started dating when he was 21, and he knew immediately that I was "the one". He was way more mature than me, and even now when we go out people card me and not him!

    I'm in the same situation as you actually. We're engaged and will be 19 and 20 when we're married. I've had a lot of people tell me we're too young, but when you know it's right then it it. As long as you and your fiance are in a healthy and supported relationship, and the both of you feel ready for such a big step, then everything will be fine. Best wishes and congratulations! 🖤

    I’m 19 and he’s 28. There’s nothing wrong with being married young or an age gap. I’ve had so much hate about our age gap and getting married. I totally understand how frustrating it is!!
