Do you think 22 is too young to get married?

Do you?

Like the type of marriage that lasts past 45/50 (when I’ve heard other couples start getting divorced).

Is it better to have multiple relationships throughout your life for each stage of your life instead of banking on the same relationship with the same person for 40+ years?

Depends on what you both want out of life. I think the biggest risk is that it changes fairly quickly in your twenties. Whether that's career, study, children or travelling. Also money wise. Good luck OP

No necessarily. My lovely friends got married at 22 straight after university and have just celebrated 20 years of marriage. They are very religious - most of my friends who married young are - but I don't see a problem with getting married young.

I wouldn't say it is any more lively to end I divorce than any other marriage. The difference in marrying young or later in live would be your life experiences, generally and relationships, financial situation and security and overall maturity.
If you meet someone who is willing to allow you to grow and evolve then there 8s no reason why the marriage won't be long-lasting if both parties are prepared to put in the effort that they require.

I do think it is too young. Not because I don't think it will last but you should wait until at least mid twenties get a bit more life experience etc.

This is being said by someone who's being with the same person since they were 17. We are now married but I wld never have married him at 22, even though I knew we wld marry, it just felt too young.

I got married at 21(him 31) Had been together since I was 17. We split up 3 years ago when I was 32. We were together a long time and had alot of ups and downs, but ultimately we wanted different things in life.

I think at those ages 10 years between you both is a lot. I wouldn't be happy if my Son was dating at 21 year old girl if he was 31..

It all depends. I first met my husband when I was 18, he 19. We got engaged, then lived together for a year, got married at 21 and 22 respectively, had 2 sons (I was 22 when 1st was born, almost 25 with the 2nd). Still together, I'm 62, husband 63.

We've compromised on things, accepted each other, supported each other and been friends above everything else.

It's a false dichotomy. Either get married at 22 and stay with the same person for 40+ years, or have a new relationship every 10 years.

You can get married at 40 and stay with the same person for 40+ years.
And yes, I thing getting married at 22 is too young.

I got married at just turned 22, we have been married for 7 years, I'm 29 now. I don't have any intentions of getting divorced. My husband is 35 now, he's a bit older then me.

I met him and got married really quickly, we have had struggles as life has thrown some really tough experiences at us. We always say how compatible we are and how we are great friends. We also bicker at times we are not perfect. One thing we think has worked in our favour is that as I was young and so was he, we were more compromising in our relationship and still are. I think people who get married later although they could be more stable can also be more set in their own ways and therefore struggle more in a relationship.

I'm pregnant with our third baby and I'm so so so so glad I met my husband. I love him to bits.

I don't think 22 is too young to do anything.

Not at all, I got married at 19! I'm 25 now with 2DC.

For me 22 would’ve been too young as I was still quite naive and figuring out what I wanted from life/a partner - but that doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone else. It’s a personal thing I think.
