Is it wrong If I want to marry at 22 years old ? It is too soon ?

It is not your age that matters but how long you have known it each other and how prepared you both are for marriage.

If you have know each other for less than three years, I would suggest spending a minimum of a year as engaged couple, and go through a marriage preparation course with your pastor.
You also need to have sorted out where you are going to live.

No, just make sure you really know what you could be in for, and make sure she does the same. Read and meditate on Philippians 2:1-8. If you feel a revulsion of having to obey that passage every day of your life, or if your wife-to-be does, hit the brakes!

I was 22, she was almost 21.
Last fall was our 42nd anniversary.

Absolutely not! It's only a recent societal thing that says we shouldn't marry in our youth. But in the past, people did marry much younger. It's just something we have absorbed in our culture that we shouldn't marry young.

There are advantages to marrying to young. You get to spend your young years, which are very formative, growing with someone. When you're older, it's not as easy forming bonds with people. I can tell you from experience. I wish I was more open to it at a younger age because there was a lot more opportunity.

May as well. NWO is around the corner anyway, so what difference does it make at this point?

Oh my, if you don’t know what that is, you have a deep rabbit hole to jump down tonight, my friend.
It was a joke. The Bible says laughter is good medicine. You're welcome.

I got married at 26. I had just barely met her at 23.

I think in general though, I'd say the younger you are, the worse of a decision it is. I've seen a lot of late teens, early 20s marriages from my high school friends end in divorce pretty quickly.

I'd be tempted to say it should be law that you can't marry under 25 (the brain stops developing at this point, so you may have a better idea of what you get for the next 70 years, the Lord willing).
