What is your opinion on getting married after high school or eloping?

If you think he’s the right one then go for it!!! ^^

i did marry, slightly over a year after i graduated, but i knew i was ready and i dont regret not waiting for a couple more years, even tho we could’ve had more money saved up.

honestly, if your ready to get married, and you know you are, and know enough about the person you want to be with FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, then go for it.

I look at marriage like a tattoo…If your going to do so remember that it lasts FOREVER.

Quite honestly, not a good idea for most couples. Most people at 18 aren’t quite mature enough just yet and there really isn’t much hurry either, in most cases. Most couples expect dating / marriage to be all nice and lovey - dovey but that’s part doesn’t last. Divorce rates are rather high and I believe that’s because people take their marriages too lightly, they don’t stick out the horrible fighting to work things out long term. And honestly, I don’t believe most young married couples will either and will likely divorce sometime in the future. However, I do know couples who got married young and are in fact right for each other and have been together for such a long time no one can say at all that they weren’t ready. My friend’s grand parents were married really young, they’re turning I think they’re in their mid-80’s now and still going great, You can tell it’s true love. In conclusion, I don’t believe most couples are ready at that age, but that doesn’t hold true for absolutely every couple.

I agree with Janice

If they truly live each other, and are finacially ready, then go for it.

You don’t need HUGE amounts of money to “get married” its not about the parties and what not you have it is about the love each of you have for each other.

marriage need well matured people not by age or level of education. You can be well educated but childish mind then you are not corified 2 get married or 2 marry.

It’s a risk. People change a lot between 20 and 30. The person you marry at 20 may be completely different in 10 years. Some people who marry young grow together and some grow apart. I’d recommend living together for a few years first. Unless you are going to have kids there is little reason to marry in my book.

I don’t see what the rush is really. Both partners are just becoming adults and haven’t figured themselves out yet so people change. I wouldn’t want to get married so soon because I feel like that should be way down the road when I’m 100% sure about settling down….

Mainly not a good idea to think about right after high school. Unless you can handle the school if you think about a future career together, yet handling something, with many other abilities, and if you’re sure about who you;re with, then go forth and do so, otherwise, you’ll probably think of it as a bad idea later on.

Definitely not a generally good idea. Many people just after high school are still “kids”, if you get my drift. Just think about how good of an idea it would be for two kids to get married and you can answer your own question lol.

i think your doomed to be divorced

i think your doomed to be divorced

Marriage is bloody hard work. Enjoy being all loved up. If its meant to be, it can wait for a few years.

Just ait. You may want to change your mind. Plus, being anywhere under 20 probably wouldn’t be good to be married at. :/ Just wait til your outta schooling for good! You will be best happy! I hope i helped!

not saying it wouldent work out. but i would go to college first or go and get a job and live on your own for a while

My opinion is I find to many young people are rushing into getting married and having babies right out of highschool. The divorce rate is at its high because to many people are rushing to get married. I am 21 years old and have been with my bf almost 5 years and even though were in love agreed at our age we should wait until were more mature. I believe to many people take marriage lightly and should take it more seriously and give it time before doing so, because it should be taken as a life time commitment just the same as bringing a child into the world is.

Well, it’s not something I would personally be interested in. An 18 year old graduate, fresh out of high school, is YOUNG. I mean, I’m not judging anyone who is following that path (heck, my own parents got married at that age and they’re still together), but I think that there shouldn’t be so much of a rush to grow up. I would think that, with being so young, most people would want a chance to be on their own… to explore things & grow up by themselves, and REALLY know what they want before they settle down.

If you truly love the person & believe with everything you have that you’ll last , go for it ! There’s no proven age for falling in love . Follow your heart .

After highschool? Way too early! Until your ready and out f school completely, go for it! :D

Do whatever makes you happy.. Just remember that human males don’t fully mature cognitively until age 26, females age 24. This means you still have mental growing to do, and you may change your mind on feelings for someone.
