teen marriage statistics?

Willie Tun: Probably not many. My husband got married when he was 16. His girlfriend got pregnant when they were 15, had a shotgun wedding and then the baby was born when they were 16. Then they had another baby at 17. The marriage lasted almost 5 years.I recommend waiting until you truly know who *you* are. You still have a lot of growing to di in your teens. You need to explore life in order to understand who you are. Then you can share your life with another person. Marriage is not all fun and games. It takes a lot of hard work and determination. If you truly love each other and want to be together forever then what will you lose by waiting? You can always get married later....Show more

Christy Tirabassi: I spend at least 16-18 hours a day doing the day-to-day stuff involved in running a household. My day begins before the sun comes up and doesn't end until my kids are asleep...All I want is 30-45 minutes 4 or 5 times a week, to exercise and get into better shap! e...but the so called "man" I am with won't help at all.He thinks that his responsibilities end when he comes home from work.He has never expressly FORBIDDEN me to take time for myself, he just makes it damn near impossible to do so.For example, I went to the grocery store today, and when I got home, my daughter said she was hungry. I asked her "why didn't you ask Daddy to make you something to eat", and she said, "I did but he told me to wait until you got home".

Sharee Doak: too few to even make notice.

Morris Cuomo: Good job your not ill and need to see him ?You should be ok take it gently And make sure you are protected Or when you do get to see your doctor You may be due to give birth again ?

Voncile Slaubaugh: The problem is...he thinks your job at home doesn't compare to his "40 hour a week" job. I used to work away from home and have 1 child...I thought if I quit work and let my boy friend work it would be so much easier. But WOW! what a wake up c! all..working a job was easier than running a household full-ti! me! Maybe he needs a wake up call...make him stay home on a weekend and go have a friends day. Maybe then he'll see it's not so easy.

Ramona Pago: It is very difficult for men to understand that being a mother and taking care of a household is the hardest job a woman can have. Unfortunately, he is not going to ever understand until he has to do it on his own. He wouldn't last 24 hours doing it your way.You are not selfish wanting me time, and neither is he selfish. He just doesn't understand it because most men look at the job in the home as being natural for the woman, and not a skill. You are married, and the key to any marriage is communication. You need to let him know how you feel by talking with him and not at him. And with something like this, it can't be done in the home. Go out, the two of you, have dinner because if you converse as a couple over dinner without the kids it becomes easier to discuss issues of the home because neither of you will be likely to! lose your temper in public, unless you all are crazy like that.But this is something that I talked to my husband about earlier whom I am separated from. We are different with one another outside the home and trying to work on our marriage. Communicate is the key even if you have to switch jobs or roles for the day.

Donella Vasta: 54%Look it up,http://www.google.comCheck it out, its a Pretty good site.*NO JOKE*

Long Woltjer: I get what you're saying. I work part time and come home and do all the mom and wife stuff, my free time is when I go to the grocery store! (with our 8 month old in tow). My actual free time is when I'm driving from the baby sitter to work which takes 12 minutes-yes I do look forward to that time! How sad am I !? I have a 10 yr old and a baby and a 34 yr. old hubby (who is more like a friend to our 10 yr. old) who plays video games rather than watch the kids or do laundry or dishes. When you get the answer to this question, please let us al! l know.

Stanton Valdivia: I know how that feels my hubby is the s! ame. What I think you should do is just spend a little more time at the grocery store (wink wink) give yourself a quick run around the park (where ever) and how old are you kids I have little ones so I aways put stuff out for them to snack on till I get to dinner (or something easy he can make) What if you tell him it was Doc's orders?....oh and if he want you to run the house a feed the kids a every things in between....you don't live in the 50 and if he wants you to be a women of the 50 he needs to get a better job so you can be that for he..LOL

Shad Bushweller: I beleive in destiny but I still think you have to fight to save your marriage. Especially if you have children. This ebook is a good resource to understand causes of your marital issues and to learn some important tips --> http://savemarriage.toptips.org

Chris Coggins: I believe that it is a higher chance that you guys will divorce then stay married, if you have any thoughts of getting out of this ma! rriage if it doesn't work then don't do it. However, if you must I think you should wait at least until your 26 years old that way you can experience life.....

Garrett Detone: Love is a very strong word I wouldn't put it that he loves youhe probably just gets really turned on by you and wants to be with you really badlygenerally when guys keep on looking at girls lips especially it means that they want to kiss yousounds like a creep, if I were you I would get a new driving instructor

Elaina Adolfson: This sounds like the typical male chauvinist married to the doormat deal. This may sound goofy but go with me. Guys are like puppies when you first meet them, they are eager to please, happy to see you, and have to be taught how to fetch while they are young. A few years after you are married they turn into old dogs and when they say you can't teach old dogs new tricks, they are right. The time to have addressed this was during the negotiations of the marriage du! ring the first few years. It is possible, and even easy, to train a gu! y to be helpful around the house, do his part, and give you the respect and alone-time you need. If you start re-training now you will have a snapping, snarling beast to contend with. Good luck.

Curt Broadhead: i would switch physicians.

Tyree Allenbrand: Wait to see your doctor....you don't want to break anything lolADD:OR do "just the tip" LMAO Just kidding

Roland Stampley: Are you a stay-at-home? If you are, it's time you gave that up, got yourself a job, and got out of the house. It would do you good in a number of ways, and your "man" couldn't continue with the attitude that his responsibilities end when he punches out of work, because surely you could make the same claim. And he'd then see the logical fallacy in that. Your children won't really hate you for it, in fact, they may appreciate you more.

Alisia Sutphen: of ALL the teens that married 20 years ago, only 2 couples of the 79 are still married...so, thats not good, is it??

Lyndon! Mattas: Well, just because one roller coaster broke they dont shut down the entire amusement park. You can explore other rides until your roller coaster has been fixed.

Gabriel Realmuto: If you are considering marriage basing yoru choice off of statistic is not smart.But here is some info for you.http://marriage.about.com/cs/teenmarriage/a/teenma...

Roni Kurz: Teen marriage?? That's got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard! Two kids getting married and whose going to take care of them? I know teenagers and they can't take care of themselves.

Burt Stoecklin: This wall of text is too creepy. You sound too young. He sounds too old.It'll never work.Its just lust.

Jasper Mangel: I was married to one of those. Good luck, noticed I said "was"!! He was selfish and didnt give a damn. Thought his job was work and it didn't matter that I worked, he was raised that the 'woman' took care of house and kids and the 'man' just went to work. Well I tried eve! rything and he didnt care or budge. I even was in the hospital for a w! eekend because I was sick. He couldn't even watch kids then, and only gave them cereal for breakfast lunch and dinner before I had my family get kids. Some men don't give a rats as$

Ulrike Hert: No you are not being selfish. Every mum needs some me time.A couple of suggestions: What I did was I put my son into occasional care, one morning a week. This freed me up for doctor appointments, getting my hair cut, just sitting in the local cafe drinking coffee.Our local gym has a child minding facility, not that that is going to help you out.A few mum's got together and we started a sitter's club, no money, just an hourly points system, I looked after their kids, they looked after mine. Becasue there were a few, if one couldn't, another could.Maybe your husband will hear about this and be shamed into helping out more. We women make a rod for a backs when it comes to doing it all for to our men, they learn to expect it for ever. He needs a wake up call he really does n! eed to help you more.

Terresa Tsasie: Yes I don't see where it would hurt . LOL I believe you are actually one of the few that I have ever heard of waiting the entire 6 weeks . I never did . And my doctor actually made a joke of it saying that he knew I would not wait that long just take precaution. And you after 9 weeks yeah go for it just be a little easy at first.

Annabell Bevier: Read what Scott wrote...it got the point across much more graciously than I was thinking of typing. lol.Do right by your body and your future, intercourse after inspection.

Sibyl Siwik: I forget the exact statistic, but there is a greater chance of divorcing when a couple under 23 or 24 marries. That's a fact. I'll tell you this: If I married the person I was with when I was in high school (and we dated for 4 years), we'd be divorced right now. Think about why you feel the need to get married at this point in your life. I guarantee you that you will be a very different pe! rson at the end of your 20's than at the end of your teens. Do some pe! ople make it work? Sure. But the majority do not. The rest of your life is a REALLY long time....Show more

Malcom Fenoff: I understand your feelings entirely, but I decided to take matters in my own hands. My approach may be drastic for some, but it worked for me, and caught my husband's attention to say the least. I woke up early one morning (5 am), finshed the laundry, laid out the kids clothes, cooked breakfast, got dressed, and wrote a note telling my husband I was going out for while, and didn't know when I would be back. I left my cell phone right next to the note, and was out the door by 7 before anyone even woke up. I actually made it easy on him because I laid out everything for him to do, so he really didn't have to think too much, but in my opinion, men become way too dependent on us to make sure things get done that they become so lazy and inconsiderate of our need to have time alone. As a stay-at-home Mom, I accept that the household is primarily my re! sponsibility, as I feel blessed to have the option to be at home. However, I also know that you have a responsibility to yourself to make time for you. If he can't see that, then take the time. I had the best time during my outing -- I went out for breakfast; went to a book store and bought a book and some fancy coffee shop drink; I shopped and got a pedicure; and enjoyed being with just me. Before going home, I picked up something to eat and brought it home by lunch time. Of course, he fussed when I got back, but I told him don't bother complaining because there were going to be many more days like this in his future. Of course, he brought up something about babysitting the kids, and I told him that "parents don't babysit their own children, so don't act like you're doing me a favor." I sat down with my husband and told him how important it was for me to have a break -- his job allows him a lunch break at work every day, so what's wrong with me having one. We talked for a! long time, and he realized how selfish he had become, and we worked so! mething out. Now that I am a happy wife with time for me, he's a happier husband, and we even make dates for just the two of us as well. I feel much less stress and I am a much more patient Mom.

Manie Labat: Having "me" time is a must have for everyone, especially mothers. Your kids are a full day job aren't they?You need to tell your husband/man that you need some help, and he needs to start doing those little things, like making a sandwich/snack for you kids, maybe making a whole meal twice a week so you can have some extra time. You need to establish a routine with him, so you can both have personal time. The first weeks it will be difficult, but it'll be worth it.

Mee Blumenfeld: Many, many people don't even wait til the 6 week check up before resuming intercourse after having a baby. You can do it as soon as you feel comfortable to do so. There is no "set" time that is safe. It's entirely up to you.

Octavio Roylance: I think that teen marriages are a ! joke. I got married when I was 16... I'm divorced and have 3 children, and I'm only 23 now. If you're a teenager and wanting to get married, hold off. There is plenty of time to settle down. My exhusband was 18 when we got married, and he treated me like he was my father, controlling and abusive... but being a teenager myself then, I didn't want to admit a lot of things were going on, and then once the children came, it got harder to leave. I think a safe guess would be to wait until you're 21 or older to get married. By that time a person should be more "adult" and can handle that sort of relationship....Show more

Donita Desjardin: now i want to say less than 70% don't quote me just thinking but i think the only teen marriages that last was those that happened like in the 1930s. Teens now don't want to fight for a good marriage but are willing to take the easy way out and divorce. Marriages aren't always like the Brady Bunch they come with good days and bad days but ! will a little give and take it can really work out its going to be hard! er but what marriage isn't. teens will be faced with more challenges than adults but never say never...Show more

Booker Moros: Assuming you had a normal, vaginal delivery with no complications-- yeah go ahead. Very few women actually wait for the 6-week check. Most doctors suggest waiting 4-6 weeks, meaning they expect you'll be intimate before that 6- week exam. The biggest thing is to know you can potentially become pregnant so use condoms. Be sure to make and keep an appointment, though. And be on time so you actually get to see the doctor.

Alecia Kaehler: Dang!! That was hella words, yea it does soumd creepy, ur wayyy to young girl!!! Go out with ur girls ur going to be cleaning dipears at age 30 and not ur childrens but ur guy,

Ninfa Asby: theres this guy, he was my driving instructor.he always stares at me and when i look up he just keeps on staring into my eyes. and he stares into my eyes when we talk and sometimes looks at my lips/his eyes mov! e around my face-- i feel like telling him he's so visual because he is just looking everywhere on me. once when i was driving he just randomly hit my hand and i started to laugh nervously and he didn't say anything like sorry he just held his hand on top of mine for a while. we were also talking once and i said my name means pretty and he said it makes sense and it's certainly suitable. He also brags about his wealth growing up/shows off his phone as it's constantly beeping and ringing. one time he saw me with my brother and said so that must be your boyfriend about 15 minutes into the driving lesson in a jealous tone and sighed, then put down my brother's car [you wouldn't be caught dead driving that piece of sh** right]. he also asks me some personal questions like my interests/where i live, even how long it would take me to walk to his favorite restaurant in the town i live in. also asked me where i go to the beach. he said i was memorable too and he'd never ever forget! my name, he could forget others but never mine. he teases me a lot too! like making fun of where im from and he'll imitate me sometimes. when i was driving once i took my hands off the wheel and he asked me where my hands should be with a huge smile on his face.he says my first and last name a lot instead of saying 'you'. we were talking about my room one day and he said your room would be quite interesting i imagine. he always wore hollister and i told him i hate hollister so he stopped wearing it and i said so what did you wake up and think she doesnt like hollister so i wont wear it and he said yes and looked me in the eyes. and i said really? and he said yes.also, he told me he broke up with his girlfriend and then said hes got a new one now, then grinned. said it was cause he was from scotland, and i always ask him to wear his kilt and he seems really happy when i do this.i know someone that had him as a driving instructor and passed her driving test, she said he didnt flirt with her at all.asks me if im done school every session tooalso ! opened the door for me even if hes on the passenger's side, passed me my purse when i was perfectly capable and called me his friend, and said we have a good time together.barely talked about driving mostly about my personal life. [he is 30 i am 17 btw]i dont see him anymore... i know a lot of my friends went to the same driving school and passed and are perfectly fine and don't care if they ever see him again, but i feel like i should.also said he didnt add his students on facebook, talks negatively about other studentsaid he thought my tights that had one leg blue and one green were "wild". often describes me as wild, and tries to sound like he knows about fashion -- ex: we saw guys wearing cut off shorts and he said i wouldnt be caught dead in those and neither would youseemed like he was trying hard to get me to come back, ex telling me to reschedule the test and telling me to cancel it even 5 minutes before itonce he told me to do something with the car and i didn't qu! ite hear what he told me so i looked back at him and he was looking dow! n and then once he realized i wasn't doing it he snapped up and said oh in a surprised tone. He had sunglasses on but i think he might have been looking at my breasts. asked me if my purse was betsey johnson, then said see, i know my fashion.(i like fashion). tries to find things we have in common [both drive volkswagens, both bad at math, both went to the same high school, etc]ALSO said he was gonna call me, i said if you get the answering machine just hang up because its embarrassing, he said what is it you singing, and i said no its just retarded, and he said he was gonna call me at 2 AM then. also seemed protective over me like he was going to drop me off at my grandmothers but my dad wasn't there so he started to drive me back to the driving school and i said "no just take me back to my grandmothers" and he said "but how will you get back to the driving school for your dad" and i said "i'll walk" and he said "it's too much running around."he would say it's okay when i'! d sigh, and sit with his legs closed tightly, mood seems to change with mine [he is happy when i am happy, sad when im sad] and he touches his nose always when he first sees me and stares at me.

Karl Jantzen: he said "you must be 16 right, cause i asked someone how old most people were in drivers ed and they said 16" and waited for my response, and i said "i turned 17" and he said "this year?" and i said "yes" and he said he acts like he's 17, also said he knows a friend that was with a girl 20 years younger and he got her pregnant, and he left her. in case you were confused, IT WAS A FRIEND OF HIS that got this girl pregnant, he was like 48 she was 28-- he was just telling me this

Toshia Metzker: This is really frustrating me! I had my baby & I had my PostPartum Bleeding for 3 weeks. I called my doctor on the 3rd of January, the nurse told me to come in. When I got there the nurse said my doctor had just left. So she schudule me to come in the 2nd week, I came ! in & she said again that my doctor left. She made another appointment f! or the 3 week, I came in & the nurse claimed that my doctor was sick in the hospital. Last Tuesday my monthly cycle came back & after it went off Sunday, today I went to my doctors office & AGAIN he wasnt there! Its been 9 weeks! My husband & I are angry that we cant be intimate because I havent had my check up. I am wondering should we just go ahead & be intimate? We are already 3 weeks past due!

Len Dalba: I got married and had a baby before I turned 17. Then when my baby was 6 months old I became pregnant again. Then one year later got a divorce. When kids are involved you will have to have some kind of relationship with the other parent. So be considerate of what you say and do to the other person. I can tell you from experience that it is hard and you will have to make sacrifices in order for a marriage to last. It all depends on how well you work together on your problems. It takes two to have a happy and long lasting marriage....Show more

Cliff Jacoby:! I shouldn't HAVE to prepare snacks ahead of time just so I can go grocery shopping...when their father is sitting RIGHT THERE and is perfectly capable of doing it himself!

Majorie Chester: You should experiment with some anal play. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no postpartum bleeding of the anus is there? Just go ahead and sit on his penis.

Floyd Labuda: Do other things but wait.Take Care.
