I'm 20 and I've been dating my boyfriend for 2 years now and he proposed to me
Am I too young to be married because my mom got married when she was 16 and had me when she was 17. The marriage didn't work out and they got a divorce a couple months after I was born. I don't want to end up like my mom.
He's waiting for my answer...
Tell him your not ready because you show doubts by asking that question. If you wanted to get married you would and you wouldn't need to ask anyone if you should.
20 is way too young. Trust me. Don't ask the question, you should know the answer. 25 is the minimum because the human brain has reached a more full matured level. Also, under 25 and divorce rates are sky high.
Studies don't speak for everyone, but I think you should go with your gut feeling. If you're not ready, and he really loves you, he'll understand
Hell no. The age of 20 is too young. And the fact that you even asked is just proof that you are unsure, so don't.
I just don't understand the rush.
If you'll be together forever, supposedly, then you can wait a few years.
That's just logic...
Don't do it at 20. Have a long engagement and wait. So much changes in your 20s...god I'm NOTHING like I was 2,4,6 years ago.
People change.
I got married on my 21st birthday. If you're asking if it's too early though, it probably is for you. YOU have to be the one to make that decision.

Marriage == love
The question isn't 'Are you too young?', that has nothing to do with it.
The question is 'Do you love him?'.
Twenty is just too young to enter a commitment like marriage. You're still in school, or you're at the very start of your career. Your brain doesn't even finish developing until you're at least twenty-five.
If you see the urge to marry him, do what the above user said and have a long engagement. At this point, you're closer to being a teenager than a mature adult. That's harsh, but its the truth.
Okay for the people saying 20 is to young thats a bunch of bs. You can be engaged for a couple of years to see if it works out if not then it dont if it does then get married. My sister got engaged at 16 shes got married at 19 and is now 21 and loving it. It all depends on how you feel. If you love him & he loves you then go for it say YES but if in your gut you feel like your not ready then explain to him and he will understand fully. I hope this helps you out.
that depends on you if u feel u are ,postpone the wedding,see a councelor and talk to him
If you aren't already living together, don't even think about it! You have to know what somebody's like to live with, before you even think about marriage!
I'm nearly 20 and have been married a month now, and loving it. We dated for 5 years before.
It is young but everyone matures at different ages and everyones situation is different.
Go with your instincts and don't worry about what others think.
If you love him and are ready for commitment then go for it- marriage is beautiful but take it seriously and respect all that marriage should mean- not what it means to all those that divorce and remarry alot.
I agree with Omega. When youre ready you'll know...you wont have to second guess. Everyone gets nervous, but its not the same as questioning not being ready. As far as you mentioning others getting married at 16/17..etc. Things are VERY different now, then years ago. For today, 20 is very young. I think things changed due to better education, women have many more options...other than wife & home maker. Dont sell yourself short of expieriencing different things while your young. If you think hes the right guy for you, theres also no harm in having a long engagement. Wait 4/5 years or until youve both grown more...together.
