Marriage is the legally or formally recognized union of two people who are in a relationship. Couples get married young and some wait until they are older. Some people go through multiple marriages in their lifetime and some find the love of their life early on. Getting married young or even thinking of getting married is a decision that a couple makes when they feel like they are ready to take a big leap into their relationship.

There are people who down the decisions of these people who do decide to get married young. People should really learn when to shut their mouth and stop ranting about things beyond their control. Downing people that make the decision to get married young brings the criticizers absolutely nothing.

So many people take marriage, as well as love, for granted. By that I mean that a lot of couples go into marriage thinking that if something doesn't work, then they can always get a divorce. Sure you can, but your vows said, "Till death do us part," not, "Till we get tired of each other" or "Till something goes wrong."

It's actually pretty sad that couples go into marriage with those thoughts. If you argue or have a disagreement, you have to work through it or none of your marriages will ever last.

I get that everyday a person is changing. Your favorite color today may not be your favorite color in three months. Your preferences and favorite things may change from day to day. Humans mature, change and learn new things as time progresses. For me personally, one thing that will never change is the love I have for the man that I have fallen so deeply and madly in love with.

Yes indeed people change as they grow older, but just because you have changed doesn't mean that your love for another human should.

Young married couples hear a lot from others such as, “You’re throwing your life away,” “You’re so young, there are so many more people on this planet to meet,” “You two are going to mature and figure out you no longer love each other,” etc.

While this has a chance to be true, sorry to say but it probably isn't. Your life isn't over because you want to spend the rest of your life from that point on with the person that's your other half. You can still go to the bar with your friends, and then you’ll have your sweet man to come home and fall asleep with that very same night.

You can still travel the world, and you’ll get to have your best friend by your side. You can still have a girls night, and he can have his guys nights. Marriage is not the end of the world; it does not mean you drop everything in your life, including your friends, to hole up in your home with your new significant other and shut out everybody for eternity. It simply means that you have found your person, and you wouldn’t mind doing life by his/her side everyday for the rest of your life.

What is so bad about coming home from work/school and getting to cuddle up next to the love of your life everyday? Nothing at all. Marrying young is also portrayed as stupid. “You don’t even know who you are at this age.”

Well maybe that’s true, and maybe he doesn’t either, but not much is better than growing as a person with the one you love. You get to watch him grow as a person and you two grow as a couple, forever, how amazing is that?

You also hear things such as, “You’re young, you don’t even know what you want in a man.” I know everything I want in a man, and my boyfriend possesses every quality and more. He treats me like the queen of his world and I'm never letting him go. I never plan to be with another man ever again. Why would I when I have everything I want and more right next to me?

Settling down when you’re young is anything but idiotic. What else is there to discover? Empty years of dating men you’ll never see again, and building up your hate list a little more? I’m going to take a hard pass, but thank you so very much. Sorry not sorry. I would never reject the thought of marriage simply because of my age. The last time I checked, love does not have an age limit, nor does marriage, never has never will.

If two people are together are head over heels in love with each and and ready to take the next big step into their relationship, its their choice, not yours. Young people have their issues through a marriage just as older people do, it’s that simple. You’re two people who have came together as one, of course there are going to be obstacles to overcome, but that doesn’t have anything to do with your age.
