Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

Well ideally, at 22 you finish your studies and go on to a job. Of course the best time to marry and have family is once you finish your studies and have a stable job.

Or pick up a trade as electricians and plumbers and such are always in demand; some universities are just degree factories i.e. they produce degrees that employers don't want or care about.

Typical Muslims. With arranged marriages and all, I bet. And 12-year old brides. Or maybe Mos is a fundamentalist Yezidi. http://www.eurasianet.org/node/65942

Muslims? Only Muslims marry early? No one here is talking about 12-year old brides, we're not Saudis. We're talking about your early 20s which is a very acceptable marrying age.

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

Actually that is not true at all. Most (if not all) of my relatives, family, etc. married and started family at a young age. They were not in the condition you describe and actually became rather successful with great families.

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

Eventhough she is a wonderful woman, who is willing to do everything the armenian way.

Are you willing to do some things her way? Or are you asking her to convert? If you want her to do EVERYTHING the Armenian way, you are not being fair to her and you should just look for an Armenian woman. But if you are willing to compromise, acknowledge her ways and also change yourself to fit her needs too, then you'll have a good marriage and it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks.

From what you are saying, it sounds like you want an Armenian wife though

I wasn't planning to have kids already. It's just that she is a young woman I can see to be the mother of my children. It is more that I'm worried that my family wil not accept her. Eventhough she is a wonderful woman, who is willing to do everything the armenian way.

Success is a relative term. It's not a good idea to rush into starting a family. Not all marriages work out and relationships more often than not turn sour after only a few years.

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

22 year-old's who have kids are typically either subsidized by the state or a burden upon their families. It's better to wait until your in your late 20's or early 30's before you have children. As if you take young women out of the labor market. You only undermine your economy and the standard of living in Armenia isn't high as it is.

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

Well when you finish your studies, given you finished them well, chances are you will enter some sort of job. It's not stupid to get married and have family in your early 20s. Majority of Armenia does that actually. Marriages from an earlier age, are more stable, and they set you on the right path early on. Family is one of the most important things in this life.

Re: Armenian with a not-Armenian girl

I think meeting the right person is more important then when you meet him/her.

Well obviously, but dating a person for many many years until marriage (usually in West) is not good. Though reason they are able to do that, because they don't care about premarital sex and usually are not after having a large family or anything.
