Getting Married at 16 :)

[Romerogjrl]

Somebody else married young???? I'm getting married next month I'm pregnant really excited and happy he does everything to keep me happy  I love him so much
Lot of people said we're too young but that doesn't mean we can stay together forever .

I'm 21 and still not getting married but I would like to say that my parents got together when they were 17 and still are together and my grandparents got together when they were 16 and have always stayed together. So I am not against ground marriage. As long as its true then go for it.
But another thing if your getting married JUST because you are pregnant then I wouldn't do that. Get marries because you love each other not just because "it would be the right thing to do".
Congratulations and good luck :)

People already put their opinion when ours not needed. I'm happy for you. Congratulations on finding love. Good luck and remember: you guys are a team. Fight together not against each other. You have a beautiful gift. I found my love at sixteen n its been almost seven years. But were weird. We actually want to get married really old. Like fifty. I love old people love and wanna be old walking down. =)

**Young not ground lol

I'm 17 and married

I honestly say its kind of a bad idea love back then isnt what it is now. I met my baby daddy when i was 14 and he was 17 and now im 19 and him 22. And let me tell you if i would have married him at 16 then we probably wouldnt be together. Living and marrying someone is way different than just being boyfriend and girlfriend. By dating we got to grow and mature and didnt have the pressure of cooking and cleaning and maintaining a house because thats what you do when you get married right? Thats what i do now and if i would have done it at 16 i wouldnt have survived were planning on getting married when i turn 21 and go to vegas lol. I would say stay together and wait it out. You arent able to do things now that you will be able to do later when youre older.

I've been with my guy since 13 and now I'm 23= so they do last. Can't help it when u find ur soul mate :) congrats

In my experience. I almost got married at 16. Changed my mind. Im so happy I did. I do not believe at 16 you know what it takes to be married.  I'm with the same man with our 3rd on the way and im 22.  Just got married last month. Waiting was the best thing ever. We waited 6 years to know everythinggg about one another. And also I had 3 friends get married when pregnant between 16-18 all divorced now. Im not trying to be mean.  But parenthood is hard enough.  Im not saying at all that you wont stay together. Its very possible. But I dont think marriage is the best choice at 16. I wish you the best. I really do!

I started dating my husband at 15 and we broke up right away. Then at 18 (he was 21) we dated for 4 years and got married. No one can predict if something is going to work. We have been together 8 yrs and still have days I wonder what I was thinking! :) just hang on to the feelings you have now and remember them when you guys are having a hard time. Congratulations and good luck ;)

[Romerogjrl]

Well we've lived together already we're still together he just came up to me and said he wanted to marry me
We go to church he's an awesome guy we pray together church is our other home

[ericatoday]

Its all up to you I got married at 17 and thought I was married to the perfect guy once we moved in together he changed and he turned into a crappy guy. I'm not saying its not possible to be together forever. I just think waiting is a good idea you don't have to get married. I should've waited. My marriage lasted 2years kind of and no I've been with a new guy for almost 4 years I'm 23 and I love him so much but I'd like to have a decent wedding to remember. And I know waiting will make us stronger. But its up to you. Don't let anyone tell you it's a bad idea. I don't like the thought of divorce but its always an option so go for it.

I'm not married but I had 4 of my friends get married at 16 only one of those couples is not together and were all 20 now :)

[armywife93]

I'll say this: you CAN find your soul mate at 16. It is not too young to fall in love. BUT, I promise you, being married is not like being in a relationship. It is much different. I know you might think you guys are ready, but I sincerely and genuinely recommend waiting a little while. What's the rush? You don't HAVE to get married before the baby is born. Because marriage is sacred and you want to make sure it's definitely gonna last. I married my husband at 19, almost 20, and sometimes I think that was too young. We are still together and happier than ever, but being married is no picnic all the time. When you're in a relationship you can get out at any time without responsibilities, you don't always have to consult your man on what you do, what you buy, all that. When you become married, you guys share absolutely everything. Do you and your boyfriend make enough to live on your own, especially with a baby?? Do you know that an average baby without any special needs requires around $200,000 to raise until they are 18? This is really something serious to think about. We are very lucky because my husband is army and they pay for a lot and help. If they didn't, we might not be able to do this right now. Just think HARD about it, don't jump right into it. Good luck! I'm not saying give up or anything. I'm just saying, marriage is not what everyone thinks. It is hard work. And having a baby right at getting married is gonna make it a lot harder.

Don't get married just because you are having a baby... I got married at 18 and we had been together for 4 years already, he was 21 at the time. Marriage is MUCH different than just being in a relationship and you may not want to be married in a year or 2.think it through before making an rash decisions, marriage is a lifetime commitment

[girl4god1]

I met my husband at 14. We got married at 17 and will be celebrating our 13 anniversary in June. It has not always been easy and it is only by God's grace we are still together but I wouldn't have done it any other way. He is my best friend! We have a 14 and 12 year old and are expecting our newest son in September. Cling to God's word and seek Him in ALL things! Good luck!

Congratulations to all the young married women on this site!  For those who say marriage is a LOT of hard work - it isn't.  It's about finding someone who is capable of a mature loving relationship,  and being nice to them.  That's it.  That's all there is to it.  Choose wisely,  treat kindly.

Congratulations,  Romero girl.  

[jazzyboo711]

I married at 16. My husband was 18. We have now been married for 7 years and have a 3 year old daughter and are expecting our 2nd baby. Everyone including my parents thought it would never last and although it has not been easy it has been worth it. I believe I married my soul mate. The key to making it work is trust, communication, and LOVE. 16 is way young to get married I would not recommend it but I'm not opposed either.  Only you and your partner can make that decision.  Good luck I wish you nothing but the best :)

[Mommy_Daddy_2]

I met and started dating my husband at 14 and we got married when I was 18 I'm now 24 so it can last. Don't let people try to tell you it won't.

[armywife93]

Marriage IS hard work...whether you're with the most amazing man on the planet or not. My husband is my world, I absolutely adore him and am thankful for him every day. He is faithful, he is supportive, kind, silly, and my best friend. It is STILL work sometimes. It's not filled with sunshine and rainbows 24/7. No marriage is like that, because we are human. Humans do not get along all the time, agree on absolutely everything, not go through rough times emotionally, financially, physically, etc. don't be unrealistic, she needs to hear truth.

[M1CH3LL30]

I have been with my husband for seven years this year and barely got married. I believe it depends on the people. We waited but I'm happy we finally tied the not. We have also been together since he was 15 n I was 17

[mege26]

If its OK to be a teen mom why would it not be OK to be a teen bride? Marriage is hard at any age! You just have to be committed and work through it.

[MommaKelleyy]

I know yall are trying to convince her that young marriages last but most don't, and just because someone is married  for 4 years or 10 doesn't mean something can't happen down the road. There are people that would be married for 20 something years then end up getting a divorce. I get you're in love, I thought I was in love with someone at 15 dated him for about 4 years and ended up marrying someone else I dated in high school. But in the end its going to be up to the both of you no matter what people say.

[MamaAsha18]

The way I see it is if y'all love each other then do it. My fiance and I are getting married next week. We have been together for 5 years and have known each other for 10 years. He is 23 and I am 20. We live together and do everything together. It has to be an equal partnership. So congrats to you and your soon to be husband.

[sutton19]

Marrige is not hard work.  Maybe it is for some people, but It ain't for me an my hubby.  Of course we have our ups and downs, everyone does. But it's NOT hard work to us because we love each other unconditionally.  We get along great! We've lived together ever since my mom passed away when I was 15.  We got our own place together 4 months later an I married him two months before I turned 18:) this is our first baby an we couldn't be more happier! :D congrats btw!! :)))

[stinaann93]

I married four months after my 18th birthday
