Should a young person get married ?

nop.

Most people marry the right person at the right time, sadly here in the UK , nearly 1 in 3 end in divorce within 15 years of marriage, and the numbers are increasing. (information provided by the UK Office of National Statistics tells us the following :-

For those married in 1972, 22% of marriages had ended in divorce by their 15th wedding anniversary whereas for those married in 1997, almost a third of marriages had ended by this time

So, you pays your money and takes your chance.

Yeah, and does that mean marriage is bad? Nope. Not. At. All.
All it means is that expecting a relationship till death do you part doesn't work.
It means that when ppl have free will -meaning the option to leave a relationship when it has run its course- many will. I personally think that is healthy.
There's no point in staying in a relationship that no longer nurtures you. It would only do harm to all parties involved, including children, even though children are used as an excuse in this matter.
If ppl went about it all with a different mindset, more like "As long as we make each other happy", it wouldn't be a bad thing to break up, nor would children get hurt.
It could really all be totally different if ppl had different reference points and expectations.
THen you still may want to get married. But marriage is no guarantee for a lifelong relationship, nor for lifelong everlasting happiness and love. NO ONE can EVER give you that guarantee. Saying "I will love you till I die" is ridiculous. Sounds nice, yes. But you can NOT promise how you will feel 10 years from now.

So is marriage bad? Nope. Just don't have the wrong expectations.

It's up to them if they wish marriage for them.. No one else biz....

Marriage ain't good or bad. It's a completely different way of living. You have to be ready for this mentally. Ready for being together with your beloved person 24/7 and much more. And you will have a full responsibility of all of your actions now, coz there is another party involved.
Your entire lifestyle as you knew it before will be gone.

Marriage is great, but it needs a constant attention and contribution to make it last and work. But gives you back enormous amount of joy and pleasure. To both of you.

If you're ready for this, go ahead. But perhaps it makes more sense to try living together as a couple without a marriage first. Just to feel and touch the whole thing.

I agree with most of what u said....But personally I would never just live with my bf. I want n choose a marriage commitment:)). Just my opinion.. Nothing wrong if others want them just livin together without marriage..:)). Let them that their own opinion:)))

Thanks for the advice I'm going to break up the engagement today

Marriage is a blessing & is always good, but you need to be mature & comiitted to it fully, its not a joke & its not like dating but very serious & for life.

Marriage is not bad. Divorce is bad

I actually think you made a wise decision Alex. There is no rush.You are only 21. This is a wonderful time for dating, enjoying friendships ,exploring your career and figuring out who you are and what you want.

Marriage is a promise to someone that you will stay with them FOREVER. through good bad, sickness and health etc. If you are not prepared to keep YOUR part of that promise , then don't make an empty promise.

Living together is always an option , and it doesnt require any promises on your part.

It should be a two year lease...long enough to know if you want to renew it.

It's depend they ready or not...

I interpreted the question as, is it worth it, is it good or bad to marry, so I pointed out the statistics of failed marriages, which seem to indicate that marriage is a bit of a lottery.

Is marriage good or bad in its self, I believe it is what you both make of it, through both the good and bad times. Some stay the course some don't, depends on the two people involved.

If I felt marriage at sometime in the future was to 'run its course', I would not bother with it, why make vows that you know you have no belief in. Marriage is one of the biggest decisions we make in life, a lifetime commitment and not to be taken lightly, this is just my opinion.

Better dead, than wed.

It's veddy veddy bad!
Kidding

You veddy ryte purddy gurl.

Thankyou

Marriage cannot be tagged as good or bad. Maybe there are some good and bad married couples but its not the idea of marriage that should be compromised.
When it comes to marrying age, there's no strict regulations about it. I personally believe that if a person has the capacity to provide the financial, emotional, physical and psychological necessities of being married then he could do so.

Marriage isn't bad at all - its a choice.

I have family who have been married for over 60 years - married when they were 18yrs and still going strong and very happy.

I know of other people who have been married for over 60 years and 50 years - met the right person at the right time.

Everyone has a choice. Everyone I know who is married are very happy and been married for years.

For me, the next man in my life has to be a Christian and put Yashuah in their lives first and to be in the Centre of their friendship/relationship. Otherwise it doesn't work.
Open and honest communication and mutual trust in each other and mutual respect is essential.
