Your chances of getting divorced if you marry now are about 40%. They increase if you get married young. Wait until your late twenties, finish college, don't get pregnant before marriage - simple ways to increase your chances of staying married.
There's tons of young females my age who are divorced. You marry in your twenties, parents are paying for the damn wedding etc and the road is broken.
you should beable to marry and have a baby any age and if you end up haveing a horriable life cause you did have a baby or got married at a yong age that your falt you make your own disigions!
Anyone else feel like we're sort of piling on this Palin family? Kind of fish in a barrel at this point, right?
I know I wasn't ready to get married until I was mature enough, and was in my late twenties. But, people mature at different times. It is really up to the person - but I would say that they should know what they are getting into. And be ready to put some work into it!
I am 20 and my boyfriend wants to get married now... My boyfriend is 19.
How long have you known him? How long have you been going out? It sounds like you're feeling some doubts and I think it's important to be careful about big commitments like marriage.
If you see him as a reliable man (right now, guys don't change when they marry, at least not usually for the better) who will be able to keep the romance alive and be a trustworthy partner and provider when it's time to balance the budget and change diapers then go ahead and marry him. Otherwise if you've been together for 5 years then it'll be okay to wait a little while longer too.
Well, I was married at 19 and divorced at 20, so I wouldn't recommend it. I'm still 20 and don't plan on marrying until I'm 27-30. Divorce sucks...
lmao the hair in the eyes. so true. I'm loving these vids.. keep 'em coming! :D
A friend of mine is marrying at 22. I think that the two are great together. I don't think it's so much an age thing, as it is finding a person who you really want to spend the rest of your life with. Personally, I can't see myself getting married. Maybe just living with someone.
Do you have to marry at all? No!
Do you have to have kids when/if you marry? No!
Just chill...
yes we are robotic mamals that mate depending on the time line, not feelings, or meeting the right person. We shall marry according to how many times the earth circles the sun. compute, compute. love does not compute error error error
zomg first.
I personally believe its all by person to person basis.. I have many friends who married at age 20.. some married at 25.. but they all worked out. It just has to be when each person feels mature enough to do so.
