I'm 17 and my girlfriend is 15, so we are too young to get married. When I am with her I feel like I'm complete, like there is nothing in my life that is missing. I know that she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, so what should I do?????

Wait... patiently. You are not too young to think about these things. Its a good thing ur thinking about how much you love her... If you guys last until ur both legal, then give marriage a try... just take it easy and enjoy her as a gf... respect her and love her and give her all the attention she deserves... cuz dats yo baby. lol. and wats in store for the future, you will find out...

Jesse, both me and my husband are in our early 30s. We just got married 6 months ago. Prior to each other, both of us had gone through a whole lot of relationships, some serious some not, some long some short. We went through a lot of pain, suffered emotional and financial losses, all in the name of love. But we learnt a lot as we went on and finally, when we met each other last year, it didn't take us long to realise that we have met our match because our lifelong experience have taught us to separate the glass from the diamonds.
I don't want to sound patronising but I have to say this. At 17, you haven't lived much anywhere else besides home and high school. You haven't seen, heard, tasted much besides the familiar sensations within the confines of your school and home. As you grow older, there are things you will experience will you would have never even imagined could be real at your current age. Your senses are still raw and you have yet to learn to balance emotion and judgment due to your youth and inexperience.
As a result of this, someone you see as the perfect person whom you want to spend your life with, may not actually be so. I repeat, I am not trying to dissuade you, belittle you or to be cynical of your relationship. You haven't much of a choice to compare her with. Yes she may be right for you now at 17 but don't jump the gun in saying that she'd be right as your life partner. Life is a whole long stretch yet. You will not know what, or who, will come your way in the years to come. You may find that your tastes in a lover will change, amongst other things. In fact, SHE too might find her tastes changing. If you commit yourself this early, there is a real chance you will not be able to sustain that commitment.
So what should you do? Keep your mind and your options open. Focus on your priorities. You see, you can't "design" anyone to be part of you and your life. The right person will come unannounced, slap bang in front of you without the slightest bit of expectation. Don't restrain yourself from new people and new experiences. Life's too short to get too serious.
Good luck, Jesse.

Both of you are still young. Dont rush things, you're with her anyway, married or not married. You have love, and it's all that matters.

i think you should wait because, most young people who get married at a young age their relationships never last that long
