Too Young to Marry?

**carole** · 08-21-2010, 04:35 AM

I have to agree with there is no magical age or right age to marry, for each and everyone it is different, when my niece married she was only 18 her husband to be 19, they have been together since 14 and 15 ,now happily married for over seven years and two babies as well, i was worried they were far too young, but they certainly seem very happy together.

My sister was married at 18 and also my mother, a bit of a pattern here,except me i married first time at 22 then at 34.

If i were to choose an age it would be probably around 25 or 26, because you have had time to do a few things in life, travel etc, meet various people, and still young enough to start a family, although that does not seem to be the case nowadays, as women are choosing to have their children later in life.

I had a child earlier in life and one later in life, and i speak here personally for me it was better having them earlier in life, only because of my ill health really, otherwise it made no difference.

I just cannot imagine ending up marrying the men i knew when i was 16 or 18, but then i still made a mistake at 22, so you see age does not necessarily help you to make the right choice,but for me when i was younger i simply had no interest in marriage or children.

You can get married at any age. It depends on who you pick for a mate & if you can keep it compatible. No one is perfect & it takes lots & lots of work to hold it all together. It is a work in progress 42 years of it for me & what his name.

Agreed. But I think it's very important for a man to choose a woman with small feet, so that she can stand closer to the kitchen sink

I think a man's age to get married should be around 26 or 27. and a girl, I'd say 18 - 23. My mom got married at 21 and so did my sis. My bro might get married in December. So he'll be 26-7. That's what I say.

I really can't say there's a magic number to get married. It all depends on the relationship and on the people involved. Some 20 yr olds are more mature than a 30 yr old sometimes so who's to say when one should marry. I really think today's circumstances are different than yrs ago. Today girls want to go to college and have a career other than being a mom and raising kids. And the opportunities today are endless for girls. They can become anything they want, yrs ago you heard of girls wanting to become nurses, today they want to become doctors.
But there are still girls who dream of getting married and having children, to them it means everything, nothing wrong with that either.

"Why?

When you can have a bunch on one day?"

Oh Richard! Ten second AFFAIRS are among my favorite sports. I said RELATIONSHIPS!

True. But it's a mixed bag out there. My No.2 daughter got married recently right smack bang in the middle of doing a doctorate. They are now both happily married to each other, share the duties, and both work and study hard. It's what they wanted. In fact, they are both very committed Christians, and both believed in remaining virgins until the wedding night.
He studies Theology, and she is doing her doctorate in Medical Science.

And where did she inherit her ideal of remaining a virgin ??? Not from dad

Hey Wombat!

"I think it's very important for a man to choose a woman with small feet, so that she can stand closer to the kitchen sink"

Not if you keep her barefoot and pregnant

Women with little feet use paper plates, plastic spoons, fork,knifes & paper cups so there are never any dishes. They are also very smart these women with little feet they also trick their husbands into taking them out to eat.

That's true. But at least if they stand in front of the sink, they'll LOOK like they're doing something
