I'm getting married next year do you think the age 17 is to soon?

I got engaged when i was 15 and im still with him now. We were going to get married last year but we couldnt afford it so we’re going to wait for abit longer. Its up to you when you get married, it your choice. In England you cant get married till your 18 unless you have permission from your mam and dad. Best of luck if you do tie the knot.

Yes I do think it is too young. You will be giving up a lot of time you should take to find out who you really are and have fun.

Marriage is a great thing, but do not use it to “keep” a guy or to have sex and it is “ok” with everyone.

There are many people who get married young and do just fine, and there are as many or more who do not do fine.

What are you goals in life, what do you want to do before you want to settle down and raise children (which is totally wonderful but would not have been as wonderful if I had done it earlier in life).

Just talk to yourself. Ask what you want in life and decide if getting married will help or hinder you.

Trust me if not getting married means you might break up in the future, there will be someone out there for you later, this is not the end.

Push yourself to go out and make sure you will achieve your dreams. And if marriage next year is part of that then go for it.

There is no magical age to get married and have kids, but some life goals are SOOOOOO much easier to attain if you wait on some of those other things. Such as Grad school. Much easier and more fun if all you have to worry about is your self and graduating. Much more stressful if you have a spouse and kids. Not impossible but a totally different experience. Also what if you wanted to live in a big city, overseas, on a boat for a year. Not an option once you are married.

Just take a good look at what you want for yourself and make the best decision you can. And yes you can do anything you just have to work at it, for some their goals are harder than others but still achievable.

Good Luck.

I got married at 24, and for me that was too young – I still had a lot of growing up to do. We split up after 5 years marriage because we had become such different people. I’m 34 now and completely unrecognisable from the person I was at 17.

However, if you and your fiancee grow in the same direction, it could work.

There’s no reason why you can’t be together, but why get married? Most people at 17 don’t really have enough life experience to decide what they want out of life, so it just seems too young to make such a huge decision as this. But I don’t know you or your fiancee, you might both be very mature & know this is what you want.

Good luck with whatever you decide

well from the fact that u posted it on yahoo answers obvo means ur not sure urself!! but people always say live ur life how u wnt to live it and if u really love this girl and you want to spend the rest of ur life with her and you know that this is the girl you want to grow old with then yes you should marry her!

however you do have your whole life infront of you and ur goin to need to get a good education and a well paid job beofre gettin married. heres what i think u should do. stay engaged for a year or so that way it shows ur commited and you wnt to be with her but it also gives you time to geet things sorted before u rush into a big stage of life which isnt usually done untill ur in ur 20’s.

i hope u listen to what i have said and all the very best with ur future 🙂 xxx

hahaha im only 16

If you know what you REALLY want, then no, I don’t think it is too soon, and don’t let people tell you it is. If you’re smart and responsible, and you really feel like this is right for you, then go for it. Age is nothing but a number.

Make sure you sit down and really think about EVERY aspect of marriage. Financial stability, bills, house payments, kids?, etc. Also, make sure you really know your fiancee. Make sure you both have the same goals in life, and are ready for a commitment.

Of course, there are those teens who are totally irresponsible and there is no way in hell they’d be able to handle a real marriage, but there is always a select few who really could.

Good luck!

Source(s): I’m 19, getting married next year (i’ll be 20)

Yeah. Let me explain this…

I’m 17 also, Ive been in college for the past 2 years… dated people well over my age… and dated more than 30 people… -my sexual life is at a very low number of people though, so dont freak-

Pretty much Ive grown up way faster than I should have.

The fact of the matter is, I am at a maturity level much higher than I should be and I still dont think I would be ready to start my life this young…

Youre just starting your life, you have soooo much more to experience. Youre going to be 18 soon and theres so much more to do, and you cant do those things if you settle down with someone.

Spend time getting to know who you are, because you are going to change a lot, and it will probably lead to a divorce because the both of you arent going to be the same person in the next 5 years, let a lone the next 2 years.

I am not trying to sound rude in any way, but to put it bluntly… you are making a big mistake with getting married…

My friend is 16 and he got married this summer because his girlfriend and him rushed things that would of been enjoyed much more over time and she got pregnant…. its amazing how things change when you do settle down with someone….

Just stay engaged… if you are meant to be together, time will make it work by itself… dont make a stupid mistake… youre so young.

Yes I do think it is. Whats the rush? I think it would be better to live a little, travel, holiday, enjoy spending your money. Either with your boyfriend/girlfriend or friends. Is there a reason why you feel you must get married at 17? Could you maybe get engaged and plan a wedding in say 2 or 3 years? There is plenty time to settle down, but 17 seems very young. Take care X

I think it is but each to their own. Remember you can still be together with someone for a long time without marrying them so there’s no need to rush. The fact that you asked this question in the first place suggests you are maybe having doubts and therefore you should maybe re-think it. Each to their own though there’s loads of people been married at that age and had long successful marriages.

Yes, I do. Absolutely get together and form a solid commitment and share thoughts about timing. But definitely try to go to and graduate from college first. SO much will change between 17-25. Probably more than any other period in your life.

The ONLY way you can prove to the world that you’re mature enough is to wait and figure out more about your lives and your personality with a few years of waiting.

Source(s): Experience. I’d wanted to get married that young as well and waited until I’m 24…now the time is right!

Probably, but people have been doing it from time immemorial. Judging from my own experience, I was too young. When I married the second time, I was mature enough. Remember, it is supposed to be for life, which in this day and age is a long time, we hope. In the old days, it wasn’t so long.
