    YES, she is too young to get married!!! Don't do what I did. Got engaged at 17, him 19. Neither of us dated prior. I got married 2 wks. after I turned 19, had 2 unplanned babies the first 2 yrs. of marriage. After 3 yrs. we got bored with each other, divorced at 4 yrs. of marriage. My now adult children suffered the most for my mistakes, are STILL suffering from it all. Wait til you're at least mid 20s, wait a couple yrs. to have babies. Give yourselves a chance to enjoy each other. The more you date, the better chance you have of finding the rite person...take my hard learned advice...best to you...:)

    too young in 90% of cases... look up divorce stats and they will back me up..

    how the hell can you get married when you aren't able to support yourself well. In this day and age you still have lots of school left at 19 unless you are happy as a waitress or something similar for the next 50 years

    I would ask her whats the rush? Marriage is supposed to be forever so why not just continue dating and grow up a little and see if you are truly meant to be. Time has a way of exposing a lot about a person. 3 yrs in high school is nothing in comparison to living on your own in the real world lol trust me they need to learn how to stand on their own two feet as individual adults before trying to blend their lives together before they are truly ready. Its like saying you are a doctor because you watch procedures on you tube and you could totally do it no problem.

  • A 19 year old is barely an adult. I would say that it isn't such a good idea, even after being together for 3 years.
