[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There sure are a lot of miserable people here that want others to be miserable as well.

Married at 19, just celebrated 30 years. Happy marriage, 3 great kids, and no I did not get married because I was expecting a child...[/quote]

That’s very young—probably still in colege and not financially independent . Not many parents would be happy with that scenario. Glad it worked out for you.  [/quote]

Wrong, 100% on our own, some people don't have parents that can afford college and have to do it by themselves.

The funny part with this entire thread is people replying to the success stories like it's a one off, or not relevant, then using a one of or generalizations to justify why young will not work.

It's really pretty simple, people of all ages get married and divorced, there is no right age.  If there was, there would not be as much divorce as everyone would just wait until the "magic" age. [/quote]

True.  But getting married at a young age clips your wings, so to speak.  You have less opportunity/less ability to take opportunities since you now have to think as a couple and take the others person’s career, interests, location preferences in mind.  You will less likely to take the travel assignment, accept the risky job that could have a huge pay off, get the specialized training that is grueling and will keep you away a while, take the outrageous trip with friends, and so on.  Sure it is doable and you may not miss out on anything.  There is just a higher chance you will miss out though.  [/quote]

Is there anything you miss out on by marrying late? [/quote]
