Is Marriage for Me?

       Marriage is the social institution under which a man and a woman establish their decision to live as a wife and husband by legal commitment, religious ceremonies. Being married consist of monogamy,consideration and patience. By saying all of this it takes work to be in a marriage; it means that you should be with that particular person forever. To sum it all up you  have to make sure the person you want to be with is the person you do not mind spending the rest of your life with. I say all this to say I am not ready for marriage at the age of 16.
      Marriage is like a job to me because you have to do everything you can to keep it. For example, if you have a job and love it you will do auxiliary things just to keep it, the same thing applies to a marriage. At my age that is too much because I have my whole life ahead of me to think about marriage, do not get me wrong I do want to get married but, not at this age. I want to go to college and start my own business, I would not have time to be a good wife at that time of my life. Statistically speaking, it says that a woman that gets married at the age of 25 is four times better than an 18 year old getting married. Meaning the odds for an eighteen year old marriage is not likely to succeed.  Also, in my age group I don't meet many boys that I can see myself with for the rest of my life. Many boys at my age are immature, impatient, and are not faithfull; I do not have time for the tears and the games. Honestly, I know how I am and I know that I will get bored very easily and get a divorce. First off, we paid for the wedding and honeymoon and then we didn't make it, that was a waste of money, my time and his time. I'm just not ready for marriage and do not want to be tied down. This is the prime of my life, I am going to graduate next year and start my life off as an adult.   The best thing for me to do is take my time and not find the perfect one but the perfect one for me.

  1. I concur Jessica, marriage isn't for any of us teenagers right now. We should at least wait to be in our late twenties to even think about marriage, maybe then we would have our life together and be ready to settle down but right now is not the accurate time.

  2. I agree with you Jessica.Teens our ages shouldn't decide to get married because it is too much work and responsibility and plus many people are not ready for that kind of commitment yet.

  3. I agree with Jessica. Teens our age shouldn't get married because its too much responsibility and I think NO teen is ready for that kind of commitment.

  4. I concur with you Jessica we are to young to get married at this age. I too believe that the reason why teen marriages is the maturity level. Most teenage boy our age are nothing but jokers who can not keep stable relationships.

  5. I disagree some young marriages may work out for the best .So don't just put aside young marriages to have little maturity because that's what some older ones lack also.
