Teens who want to get married often look for advice on how to get around the laws so they can get married. What advice do you think these teens need to hear about teen marriage? Share Your Tips & Advice
Always love yourself
- Hi my name is Ana,I live with my parents but I don't really get along with them. I found a person that loves me and has shown me he wants the best for me. My mother at first wanted me to be with him but, when I asked that I wanted to get married she threatens me by saying he is older than me and she could report him to the police. What could you do in this case? You love your partner and in the other hand your parents. Does a law exist for teenagers that are in love? And are willing to take responsibility. Note from SS: Check out teen emancipation laws. Emancipation is not available in all states and is difficult to obtain. The Three Year Rule could put your older boyfriend in legal jeopardy. A counselor at school may be able to help you with the laws of your area.

Teen Marriage
- Marriage for teens is a great thing, as long as thats what you want out of life! You have to be sure that you want to be with that person. Im personally 17 and married, I love my family and I wouldnt have my life any other way. You need to be ready though, its tough im not going to lie. Its NOT a fairytale, no marriage is! If you love eachother alot, and both of you are mature and ready go for it! If not then I would wait. Another piece of Advice is to live together first, you find alot out about the person! Good Luck and God Bless!!!!!!

young marriage
- I'm 18 and I have been married for two years and have been with my husband for 4. We have a 2 year old son who we love very much but I have to say is truly think about what you want out of life first. I love my family don't get me wrong but it is more of a challenge to get goals accomplished and to reach a level tranquil. I just graduated high school and it was tough getting to this point.so just think of what is promising for your future. It isn't easy!

Who are you?
- This is the first question every single young lady must answer before venturing into any form of relationship with the opposite sex.Knowing who you are goes a long way to affect every facet of your life.It is said that when purpose is not known abuse is inevitable as such it becomes mandatory we discover who we are as a lady. Discovering ourselves enables us to know what we want out of life carry ourself with dignity and honor,we are wired differently therefore LADIES KNOW YOUR SELF before knowing a MAN.

Update from 16 year old and her soldier
- From Marriage Forum post 6303.341: We were divorced on September 6th 2008. We were married for just over 3 years, and spent a year of that legally separated. We had no children. If I could give another young girl thinking of getting married a word of advice, I would tell her to focus on herself, finish high school, go to college, find out who YOU are! That's the best gift you could ever give to your "future" husband, a mature, solid foundation of yourself. I think when I got married, I lost myself. My personal goals didn't matter anymore. He was in the military, so his career was all that mattered. Now, almost 4 years later, I'm just starting to figure out who I am, and what I want out of life.
