When are you old enough to marry?

[mrs.nordlead]

i think that the maturity level is important not just for getting married, but it plays a big role in weather or not you are mature enough to determine if you are really with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with...is it love or just infatuation, will the relationship be able to withstand all the crap and hardship that life brings and are you mature enough to stick with the person through it all or will you bail at the first sign of problems. are you mature enough to be unselfish and not bail when things arent going your way...too many people dont take marriage seriously and figure, well, if things dont work out we can always get a divorce. it takes a lot of hard work and selflessness to make a marriage work and there are a lot of people, irregardless of age, that just arent ready or willing to make the sacrifice that being married takes. obviously there are a lot of other factors that play into it like compatibility, finances, and things like that...but as for age or maturity, maturity is more important, and obviously your age plays a part in your maturity.(but i have to go feed a baby and make nordlead his dinner, so i have no more time to give any more words of wisdom :D )
