What advice would you give to young couples getting married?

young as in... 18-19 year oldsWhat advice would you give to young couples getting married?
You really need to have a serious talk and decide what you guys are going to do with your lives. Are you both going to work full time? Are you going to take turns with one going to school and one working? What happens if you get pregnant? I'd also really suggest going to pre-marriage counseling so you can ding out how you will handle upcoming situations and differences you don't know about yet. Being prepared will make it more likely you'll stay happily married.What advice would you give to young couples getting married?
Wait about ten years.... Just take a view of the statistics of marriages ranging in your age bracket.. Within ten years the divorce rate is around 70-80% Looking at the big picture if you guys are compatiable and your views on life stay the same and you don't start wishing you could sleep with other people or resent the fact he got your pregranant at such a yong age you could be one of the few. Other then that good luck...
Your first love won't be your last.
Absolutely none. I stay right out of it. No one is going to blame me, when it turns to custard.
This advice I give to everyone, not just young couples. You can't change anyone but yourself. Marraige is hard work and both of you have to work hard to make it work. Never go to bed angry or upset with each other. Don't shut down and off, but sit down and discuss problems right away, do not let them simmer and begin to boil before you try to solve them. This only leads to an argument, rather than a discussion. You have to sit down and agree how your money is to be spent. Each of you should have your own personal bank accts and one joint account. Put a certain percentage of each of your earnings in your joint acct for rent, household items, joint purchases. NEVER spend more than you earn and be very careful about using credit cards. Only use them if you really need them and before you use it again, pay it off.


Pay your bills, before you spend your money on stuff.


Understand there are some things you are going to have to agree to disagree. You're married, not clones.
Ask them questions about responsibilities and if they're sure they're able to handle it yet. Ask them about their goals in life and how they can support themselves financially. I would definitely suggest to them to wait a few more years before they want to have kids. Having a family seems like everyones dream, but nobody look at the responsibilities behind it, especially when it's regarding finance.
I got married young and we're doing great. My advice, talk to each other about everything. If something is bothering you, tell him. He can't read your mind. Communicate. It's very important. Don't hold grudges. If he did something to make you mad, talk it out and then get over it. Good sex. It may not seem important, but sex is an important bond to keep you close. Don't be afraid to try new things, but always make sure you're comfortable with it. Work through your problems. Don't give up. It'll be worth it in the end, even though you can't see it at the time. There's a lot of other things, but I'm sure you'll get plenty more answers. Best of luck to you both. Oh! and if you're not married yet, I advise you not to have a runner for you to walk on when you go down the aisle. They always bunch up and look ridiculous. Even if you pin it down. Try rose petals instead. wayyy better and it doesn't matter if it gathers under your dress. :)
Simple. Wait. Too young. Really. You will change so much in next year or two. Maybe just do it. You can always get married again if you marry so young.
Do what you have to but man is life going to change alot in the next fifty or so years. Be sure and enjoy every minute of your life cause it is short.
I am 20 %26amp; have been married almost 2 years. I have been put down by people who say I was ';too young'; %26amp; have been told that I am messing up my life. I love my life. I have a good job, just bought a home, great husband. No kids yet I am waiting. All that matters is what you think. Think long %26amp; hard on what you want though. Marriage isnt easy, but that is the beauty of it. You have to work for it. I love it %26amp; dont regret it at all... hope it helped!
All I can say is make sure you love this person. Sit down and literally pick them apart in your head. Make sure you know enough about them. Make sure you see them as a friend, above all. Make sure you have open communication. That is key. If you can sit down and do all these things and be honest with yourself while you do it, and you still feel happy and come out with a smile on your face, then by all means, give it a shot. But you could also wait a few years, finish college, get a good job etc. That way if you get married and things don't work, you'll have something to fall back on to support yourself. Thats the smartest thing you could ever do!
you know how drunk people don't get hurt as much in car accidents? it's because they're like noodles. they just go limp and flop around instead of bracing themselves for a harsh impact. odds are, you're going to end up getting divorced. but don't count on it. just be as drunk on happiness and love as you can right now. if you make it for the long haul, it'll be because you took things one day at a time and didn't get your panties in a twist over everything or try to fight the fact that you were both changing, as you inevitably will. so good luck and here's to hoping you change and grow together.
EXACTLY WAIT, WHAT'S THE RUSH.
I presume you are in the process of getting married so my advice is to always be honest with each other, dont go to sleep after an argument without making up first and enjoy every day you have together in this life. Marriage is forever and if you go into it with this in mind and stick together through thick and thin you will end up happy and growing old together. So have a great life and love each other like there is no tomorrow
Talk. Listen. Compromise. Work at your marriage, yes it takes work. Happily ever after is only for fairy-tales. Say your sorry when your wrong and sometimes when your not.
