What do all you good folks on mingle think about young marriage? I believe it can only work if both people are mature enough and know enough about how and what a relationship should be.It probably helps if both people are from solid families that raised them properly.
I was married at 20 yrs of age.All I can say is I wish I knew then what I know now.That's life and if I didn't have that experience I may not have learned so much.

I was 21 the first time I got married, and my experience was great...for almost ten years, he died by a heart attack. The most lovely man I´ve ever met. That was more than ten years ago now...
I agree with you that mature is what really matters to make marriage work.

I got married when I was 25. I was still too young.

Divorced at 29.

Retrospect is an amazing thing.

I think most people these days are slowing down and not rushing into marriage. Most of my friends either are not married or, are just now starting to get married. I think many have realized it's better to get through school and get a decent job before even thinking about getting married.

I'll probably never get married.

I got married last summer....Now I'm separated. My wife and I are friends (after a couple of months of not talking), and this is where we think we need to be for now. My parents on the other hand were married at 18 (mom) and 21 (dad), and they're still married going on 25 years. So yeah, I think it just really depends on the people.

It does.

My parents were married for only two years, and my grandparents just had their 50th wedding anniversary. They got married when they were 16.

Got married when I was eighteen. Lasted seven years and I don't regret it, just didn't work out unfortunately. I think she was too young to get married.

My parents also got married young, but I just think it's pretty different now.

I dove in head 1st. I was a father at 18 just before my 19th birthday.Married her at 20 became a father again.Two beautiful daughters.Unfortunately to make it in New Jersey I spent allot of time at work 55-60 hours a week for the whole time (20+yrs) and on nights.The nights thing was a huge mistake and basically ruined the relationship.Guys don't work nights unless you have yourself a really strong woman at home.

In this day and age...marriage is an atiquated institution that has no sociological merit whatsoever. The only value that marriage has is the financial boom it provides to the legal community when it sucks the last morsel of life out of an already dying relationship---DIVORCE.

Ho, that's harsh! I think marriage can be a very good thing.

I don't have a problem with marriage.It's just one of those things that should be seriously considered and not rushed into.
I think that's what happens people rush in and then it doesn't work.

It can be, but you get people who think you can just sign a piece of paper and live happily ever after. But it turns out it doesn't work that way. Marriage is a constant thing that always needs work. Comes down to the old saying "Nothing worth having comes easy".

Sounds like marriage has made some people pretty bitter.

Here is an example of the futility of MARRIAGE:

If you were going skydiving and they told you that one-out-of-two parachutes wouldn't open--would you go skydiving?

The percentage of marriages that end is 50%--the only place 50/50 odds are good is in a casino...I got a COIN--wanna flip it to decide YOUR financial future.

I didn't think so...yet people do it all the time.
