Elvis was too young to get married?

[Sweet_One_E.]

Do you agree or not. now times are changed and the youngers ones get married sometimes late 30s. my daughter got married at 32 because she wants babies, but I fear she is too selfish and immature still. she has always been so. my son however married at 25 and is most mature and was forever.

I wonder would things have worked out for him and Priscilla? but if he put her off even two years. would she waited

[cbg84]

I disagree. I don't think his age had anything to do with it.

[May]

I don't think so either.

[Diane]

Neither do I. He may have done all right with marriage in his later years had he not died but he was never ready before that.

I agree. I don't think Elvis's age had anything to do with him being too young to get married - although (and I know that what I'm about to say might take the thread in an entirely different direction) I have always had a strong feeling that Colonel Parker had a lot to do with Elvis getting married when he did after having Priscilla with him for so long more than anything.

Honestly, I don't think Elvis should've ever married.....period. Why? Because he couldn't stay faithful to even just one woman.

I agree...his problem wasn't the age..don't forget that at that time men and women got married earlier than today and Elvis was in the right way for a man in those years. His problem was the popularity and the style of life that sure influenced his marring life

[Broussey]

I don't think that his age mattered really!!!
I DO think that IF he met someone that he could not live without like ME oops like '' His true soul-mate '' i don't think he would have gone else where.. Don't get me wrong i do believe he loved cilia very very much but i don't think she was his soul-mate

Of Course this is IMO

[Pacerstar]

Neither do I. He may have done all right with marriage in his later years had he not died but he was never ready before that.

I tend to agree. I think Elvis was just getting to the age that marriage would
have been what he wanted and would have been good for him when he died.

Whether Priscilla would have waited that long, I don't know.

[Diane]

Whether Priscilla would have waited that long, I don't know.

You kidding?

Agree totally with both of you.
I think, eventually the novelty had worn off, and he was capable of settling down.

I THINK THE SAME THING!
And OF COURSE I'M THE SOUL MATE OF ELVIS!

[jeanelvisgirl]

He should never have married....he loved women too much......all women!

Agree with this completely, Diane. Maybe, just maybe, he may have wanted to settle into a monogamous relationship in his 60's.

[Raised on Rock]

In fact, back in the day, you could consider he had already been taking his time away from marriage long enough. No, he was not too young at all back in the day.

I don't think his age has anything to do. Why did his marriage failed then? (well that if you necessary consider divorce as a failure) Well people just change, is natural thing, not all couples are meant to be forever. And because of Elvis life style, change came at the speed of light.

Anyhow, as you kind of imply referring your daughter and son, It was more to do with maturity than to age. The question to answer them might be: Was Cilla and Elvis were still to immature to marriage?

To me the answer is yes, but back in the day, the older generation totally make them feel they should and it was about time.

I've wondered about that one too

I don't think age matters, that much. Some people get married at 20, but I think Elvis' lifestyle would not make it easy for him to have the married and family life he may have wanted...

He was on the road and away from home a lot. It's what he knew and what it was. That would be hard on any marriage and could be why he didn't marry again...well, maybe one of the reason's he didn't.

You are probably right there Franny. He lifestyle wasn't conductive to a happy marriage.
