I don't know what is considered young, but I did get married young (early 20's) had a couple of years of life experience and felt I was ready to settle down as well as my wife. It's been 7 years and when people ask how we did it, we give the same advice everybody has said above. You gotta be sure that you are ready.
Our advantages is we did A LOT in our youth that people younger than us still haven't experienced. That doesn't mean that would be successful for everybody, but you gotta have at least an 80% understanding of yourself before you consider bringing somebody else in for the ride.
I tell young folks all the time when they consider making that step this,
"Men marry women thinking they won't change and they do, women marry men thinking they will change and they don't."
I know very general and more so humorous than factual, but when you actually think and ponder it, it will make you stop in your tracks if you thinking this person you marrying gonna be the same person 10 - 15 years from now after they get some life experience under their belt.
