Is it alright to marry young?

I should start by saying im only 21 atm. i didnt bother with the whole "crazy teen" or "Young adult swinger" phases. all i want out of life is to be able to provide for a family of my own. chances are ill b waiting another 5 or so years anyway so might as well start looking. ^_^

It depends on you, your views on love, marriage, relationships, and your partners views on love marriage, relationships, each others family members, children and starting a family, family life it self, religion, politics, yada yada yada.
I think it would be wise to take time for your self. To spoil and live for your self a bit. Get to know who are and what you want to be.
Set goals for your future, let your imagination form dreams and visions of what you want y our life to be. Then live and work to fulfill that.
Now if you fall in love with someone with like goals, dreams and visions, then get married.
I advise not to let marriage be the goal to life at first, but just wait, don'
t go searching for a wife, let fate bring you to together.

@NeloAngelo: I take it you like trigonometry, then?

@Groofydorkgerdo: well i suppose triangles are better than circles XD.

@NeloAngelo: Well, you mentioned Pythagoras, the father of trig.

It's not so much age....but of maturity. A 30 year old down the street who still relies on his income as a pizza delivery driver and plays video games on his off time probably isn't ready for marriage!

I didn't get married till I was 24, financially stable and felt I was ready for a family. Take care of yourself first....your career, finances..etc.

Think of it like a house....you're the foundation (marriage is the framework)...without a strong foundation...the house wouldn't last 😉

Wishing the best for you

ive been doing this already so i guess that's a win. stable job and home. allways wanted a family anyway so i'd be ready as soon as my partner is, soon as i find her of course.

Is it alright? The only opinions that matter are yours and your fiance's. Unless of course you want a happy life, then I'd give her parents and your parents some input as well. ;)

What I consider interesting is that we are almost the same age (I'm 22) and marriage couldn't be further from my mind right now.

It works out for some people but I think it's best to just be in a relationship with someone for like 5 years first in case things don't work out. Especially if you want kids, going through divorce is really hard on them.

NeloAngelo · 26-30, M

yeah this is kinda what i meant. im not expecting to actually marry till my mid to late 20's. its just theres a difference between looking for a relationship and looking for a marriage partner.

Drdirt · 26-30, F

Yeah I think that's alright then. I know quite a few people who only have relationships with people they could see themselves marrying

No, it's really foolish to marry young and waste your life

NeloAngelo · 26-30, M

@NeloAngelo: just the fact that I did not learn to be independent and some other personal experiences

NeloAngelo · 26-30, M

@Cinderella: well i think I've got independence down. moved out as soon as i could. so i think thats a + then. Thx btw it's good to hear from someone who has married young. :)

@NeloAngelo: you're welcome

I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to start a family young.
