Is 20 too young to get married?

DunningKruger · 61-69, M

I don't think people should get married before 30.

No. But it’s too young for a third marriage.

In general, I believe so. Most 20 year olds have not experienced life enough, matured enough to take on the responsibilities and constraints of marriage and in most cases, at a bare minimum, will later regret not having experienced more before taking them on. Having said that, I have a niece who married at age 17 which we all thought was solely to escape a dysfunctional family situation and would fail miserably. But here it is, some 30+ years later, and she and her then also teenage beau have built a successful life together, raised their own family, and she is a grandmother. So it really depends upon the individual and circumstances.

There is no age too early to late, if you think you found the one, do it. If you don’t do it because you’re worried, it’s too early, you could be losing your one true soulmate.

your 20s are there for you to learn who you are, the person you are at 20 is very different then the person you are at 25

No if he is the one you want to make a family with go for it. I hear people my age all the time said I wish I had gotten married and had kids but back in the 90s they were all saying work on your career go for in business but you know what I don't remember any business meeting that ever made me happy but going to my daughter's birthday party watching her roller skate watching her learn something new for the first time you can't beat it. I just wish I'd had a good woman who wasn't trying to just go after a guy with money.

yes, i think so. your brain isnt even matured til it's 26 they say and thats about the time i realized that me n my husband were incompatible

No ...but i think people are just fresh and inexperienced at that age to understand responsibilities and world better..as one reaches 25 or 27 things gets so clear...

But this is not applicable on everyone!

No, but I think there is a higher chance of divorce down the road. I think some naivety is still around at that age. I have nothing to back this up, but it seems reasonable.
