Marriage is a union of two people who share their lives, love each other, and take on the responsibilities that come with being a couple. While love is essential for a successful marriage, it is not enough on its own.
Couples must also be willing to work together, communicate effectively, and compromise. They must also be prepared to deal with the challenges that inevitably come up in any long-term relationship.

What experts have to say about getting married at a young age
According to Bartleby, getting married at a young age has negative effects to it, for instance, it can cause a quick divorce and that is because the couple might be immature and may have compatibility issues. Some young people think that getting married at a young age can give them more freedom and a better life than before.
Many studies suggested that people in their 20s haven't reached an emotional balance, Bride Story states. Therefore it is advisable to know your partner well and be willing to keep practising emotional stability together as a couple.
