Anthony, I am happy you found someone you want to spend your life with. May God bless you and keep you safe and may you and your wife be happy together forever.

I got married when I was 20...we were married for 14 years. We had our ups and downs but we just grew apart. We are still friends and as a person, she's great...I would still help her out anytime she needed it.

It all depends on the person. Good luck, Anthony.

Matako, kindly impale yourself.

My parents got married when they were 19 and they are still together and happily married 33 years later....

like someone said it all depends on the person .....

What about getting a student visa? So she can study in the US and you guys can be together and see if everything works out. If it does then you two still can get married.

In my opinion 16 is far too young to get married.

Good luck to you. Whatever path you take

The probability that a marriage like this will suceed is there, but its very slim, considering that she is not in the USA and she likely will see things very differently from how she does right now, especially because she is coming to New York. Anyhow, people have been known to do more dumb things, so this wont be the first.

Am still reading about that evangelist was found to have been taking meth and meeting gay men behind the scenes, as he professes how anti-gay he is...In short, worse things have happened, I think.

Marrying a 16 year old will not set any new records.

This marriage is doomed. I think teh girl and her parents just want her to come to America. At 16 years old she has not even been to college. He wants sex, and the girl wants to come to America. Its called barter trade. Lets see how long that lasts once she gets to America and starts second guessing herself, given all she sees here. You need to wait, focus your energies on school and getting a life long trade and skill and let her mature.However strongly you feel, you will likely look back and regret years down the line because things are not always how they look like all the time.

Kitkat I have not offended anyone;please stop giving me undeserved credit. I post here like everyone else, and am mindful not to hurt anyone. If you cant put up, its not my fault.

You have not offended anyone?!!! What the heck do you call what you wrote above?

And did you figure out all on your own that a 16yo hasn't gone to college yet? Your deductive skills are absolutely amazing. Guess everyone has to get up pretty early to get past you.

Anthony, good luck with what ever you decided to do.

Excuse me Bozo, if you went to college, how old were you when you left? Have you ever seen a 16 year old who is done with college?

People here will do anything to sound nice. Why dont you all tell this guy to give the girl time to mature? If someone ever tells me they are considering marrying my 16 year old, I will give them a nice a** beating, because thats what they need. At 19, they should be setting themselves up professionally, not thinking with their anatomically gonadic brain!

I think these girls are poor peasants who see their girl going to college as a ray of hope for the family.

My last statement corrected:

I think this girl's parents are poor peasants who see their girl going to the USA as a ray of hope for the family. No one would wish early marriage for their child this young.
