Ok, so I have my friend getting married today. He's my age, and I'm 20. I think he's a little young to be getting hitched. What do y'all think?
If thy love is genuine, let them become married. If thy love is one borne of lust and greed, let their marriage perish...
My sister is 20, and the prospect of her getting married doesn't make me feel all that weird. It's better than 16, I can tell you that.
If they are truly in love and have the means to support the new family they are starting, age does not matter. I wish them happiness.
I've always been raised with a pretty take-it-slow approach to marriage; despite being with my partner now for like 5 years, we don't plan on getting married for at least several more years. That's not to say that people can't chose to marry whenever they want, but I think it's important to know who you're with very deeply and in real life situations, like living with them, before you make such a big commitment... The fact that divorces are happening in up to 50% of marriages now is really telling that people aren't thinking this though. So yea, I don't think 20 is bad at all for getting married... but the real question is how long have they been together. Because I think that is the better measure of success.
My grandmother got married at 16. My cousin got married at like 18-19. It's cool. Their problem not mine.
Wow everyone here has parents or friends with early marriages... I see marriage as a late 20's-early to mid 30's type thing...
You can get married whenever you want but I believe it would be in your best interest to get get married in your thirties or late twenties. That way you can do what you want to do without another person telling you what to do also.
