Why do older people think getting married at 17 is wrong?

Honestly, why would you marry him just because you are going to move in with him… just because you move in doesnt mean you have to be married.. actually, maybe you should try living with him for a couple of months before you marry him.. then you will get a feel for married life, and decide if your ready to take the plunge, your young, so dont rush things. jeesh. anyways, good luck.. xx. superfresh.

I sort of agree with the other answer already given but everyone is different, met my fella at 14 moved in together at 17 married at 18 and then divorced at 25,

that’s because as we grew up we grew apart and the marraige became more like brother and sisters, we still love each other to bits and are both in new marraiges but we;ll always be there for each other and I can honestly say that I’ll never regret my marriage and without it I wouldn’t be the person I am today,

all I can advice is grow together enjoy each other and be happy good luck x

I got married shortly after I turned 18. By the time I was 20, I was getting a divorce.

Why? Because at that age I still hadn’t figured out who I was and what I wanted from life. I jumped into a marriage because I was convinced that this guy was the one (we had a baby together), and then I realized that I never had a chance to be myself.

I’m not saying the same thing will happen to you, but the same warnings are there - you haven’t lived enough to know exactly what you want, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise.
