they got married this young..
alot of people are telling me i should never ever get married this young and i wouldnt get married while still in high and maybe even wait some but do you think its dumb to married before your 20?
I don't think that it's dumb but it's very risky!!!
shareI don't think it's dumb. But then again, I'm young and in love.
If I was an artist who paints with eyes, I'd study my subject and silently cry.
but what is the point? Why can't you just wait- you can even live together but why get married? I've been dating the same guy for 10 years and we haven't gotten married yet. What is the point?
shareI'm not saying I'D personally get married but I don't think it's stupid. Personally, I'm not planning on ever getting married because I think marriage ruins relationships.

I think that you change alot from 18-20 and then from 20-25. I don't think there should be a rush to get married, when you are still basically finding out who you are as a person.
made you look *insane laughter*
It depends on your religion and family values. I know girls in my school that are either married or engaged to be married at 12-13 years old. In some cases to WAY older men and when you ask them why? They say it's just a custom where they live (and not all of them are from overseas).
shareThe thing is when you reach the age of 21 or so, something in your brain tunes in and allows you to make better decisions.
Personally I would never get married out of high school. I would want to finish all of my schooling, have a career, and a stable life.
This movie annoyed me so much because they were young. All the problems they had, the things they didn't know about each other or about life yet.
I got married at 16. It was basically because I was dating someone older, and my mom kicked me out, but didn't want legal responsibility of me because I was a wild child. Let me tell you, I just got wilder, and ended up 17 and divorced. Not fun.
Its not going to be that way for everyone, but MAN I didn't know 1/5 of what I know now. I guess I didn't have much to say about it at the time, but if I only knew then...
Vice, Virtue. It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much *life*.
I waited 'til I was 21 and out of the military.
My wife was 18 but just graduated from school.
We just had our 35th wedding anniversary.
Yeah, I sure as hell wouldn't have gotten married at 18, but it was pretty impossible, considering I never had a boyfriend in high school. I wanted to get married young, but then I grew up and realized it was not a smart decision in this day and age. My parents though got married when my mom was 18 and my dad was 21. They bought our house (which we still live in) later that year. Yeah my parents are still married after 28 years, but I seriously believe they will be heading toward divorce pretty soon.
Anyway, though, I think it is stupid to get married before you are out of college unless you have a secure job with health insurance. My parents didn't go to college until the 90's, but they had health insurance...

I was married at 19. We've been married for two years. I'm 21 now and he's 24. I haven't seen this movie, but it sounds awful. Sure our marriage isn't perfect, but nobodies is. Both my mom and dad have been divorced twice and my husband's parents are still together. We're both faithful to each other and have a good relationship. I've learned a lot and matured. My mom was and is still critical of our marriage, but she was the only one in my family to turn up to my wedding. I consider our marriage just as valid as anyone's and would like to be treated so.
shareThis reply may be a bit silly, but isn't that the point of the whole film? :)

I think it's fine as long as you're willing to work on your relationship and know that you're going to grow and change as people.
My husband and I got married when we were 20. We already had a daughter together but wanted to wait and see how things went between us before we tied the knot since we hadn't known each other very long.
We know have two daughters and have had our ups and downs but we've worked through it all and are still going strong.
Personally, I want to be grow as an individual before I grow as a couple. If my boyfriend and I grow in the same direction, then sure I'll marry him down the line, but if we end up going in different directions, then I won't have a divorce under my belt. I have zero intention of getting married anytime before I'm 27
shareNo, that is a very individual decision, getting married young works for some people, and for others it doesn't. The point of the movie was that for a couple that young it will be even harder, and a challenge, but you have to work to make it work if you want it. There are a lot of people I know who was married young who just gave up and got a divorce, and while they claimed it was so hard, they did not seriously hard to keep their marriage together. I think it's debatable about the couple in the movie, but the point was when it's hard don't give up if it's something you really want, and you both really do love each other,
