Vent: too young to be married...
I have been lurking on other boards out of pure boredom at work. Other than the snarky biatches out there, this drives me CRAZY...girls telling other girls they are too young to be married. Who can be the judge of that with someone they don't even know? I agree that some people probably get married too young but seriously? Is it automatic that because I'm 23, I'm bound for divorce?
Re: Vent: too young to be married...
I bet that does irk you a ton! I have friends who have been together since 8th grade, been married for over 10 years now and have the most amazing relationship of nearly any couple I know.
I, on the other hand, was "never getting married" and could not imagine still being with my BF from when I was 23! *whew*...scary to even think about! It just took me until I was in my 30s to find my "lobster".

Apparently it is and they are obviously much better judges of what you're ready for and what's right for you than you are
I get that too b/c I'm 23
i tell my brother and his gf that they are too young to get married. they are both 23. my reasons:
1. yes they dated since HS but maybe in the past year or so they just stopped the "i'm mad so we are breaking up"
2. she thinks it is ok to give ultimatums.
3. i don't think he is at the same place as her. he loves her and i believe that he thinks she is the one, but not ready for marriage.
to me all of that has to do with age. so they are too young to get married. but i do not think age applies for everyone. but it does make marriage harder, imo.
Age is related to life experience in majority of cases. Who you are at 20 is hardly who you will have matured into at 30, let alone 40.
It's not to say marriage is impossible during youth - but I agree with the above statement that when a couple is quite young they will face that much more in terms of adversity.
I think each situation is unique to the couple. You can't just say that across the board a certain age is too young to be married, or a certain age is the right time to be married. That just doesn't work for all people.
Courtney, let me tell you - I am going to be 27 in August and there are some people I know who think I'm too young to be married. You just can't please everyone - and you don't have to! Bottom line - it's your life.
to each their own i say. if you think it is right for you, then that is your choice.
funny thing though, living in LA, everyone thought i was too young for getting married at 26!
and I was one of the last of my close friends to get married right after turning 26 in Nebraska
if i was still in TX, my friends would think i was SO old for getting married at 26.
