Okay i have been in that almost same situation Um theres no way i would tell you to get married but an engagement go for it because its not forever and it gives you time to really get to know each other and see if you can even with hold the hard times but its really up to you if you wanna jump head on into this i suggest waiting until you are out of your teens you still have a lot of growing up to do I'm 22 and i still need to grow up so you being 18 and him 21 please think long and hard before you make any rash plans But GOOD LUCK to you and your potential husband!!

only you can answer that. age is only a number, it's maturity level that counts, especially with something like this. if you really plan on staying together, his wanted to go into the coast guard is a decision that has to be reached by both of you. i wasn't ready for marriage until i was 28, but my husband was 22. you'll know when the time is right. there is no hurry. as long as you both love each other and want to stay together, that's all the commitment you need.

Remember anything that has death in it is not good marriage is not 50/50 sometimes is 90/10 sometimes is 100/0 before you make that commitment ask yourself what am i willing to sacrifice the military is not an easy life coast guard is a part of it
know yourself better before you share yourself with someone Else

Age isn't as important as being ready. People change a lot in the military the first year. Wait until he's got a permanent duty station and then see if you want to go there, or wait until he can be transferred. The steady income will make for a better start to a marriage, and two big changes in life are better handled separately.

When you both understand that A good marriage is an intimate and loving relationship which gives both partners security, friendship, companionship, support, comfort, and deep love that penetrates every aspect of life. None of this can be achieved without work and sacrifice.
Marriage may be compared to a plant that requires daily nurture, daily attention, daily care and cultivation. It will not develop of its own accord; only as effort and will are exerted will it grow and mature. For a marriage to succeed, both husband and wife must be committed to its success. They must build an enduring love relationship that is centered in the heart of their consciousness. Their relationship must be nurtured with the water of loyalty and love.
and also you should ask your parents

There are no age limits. Just know that marriage is hard work, and you will have to be ready to sacrifice a lot. But if you think you are ready, and you think you can make your relationship work until you die, then even 18 works sometimes. Good luck :).

i believe that there isn't a specific age to get married
if u are doing this because u love him the go for it
if u are doing it for security or for the fact that u just want to be close for the time being then maybe u should think the getting married situation over again
if u do decide to get married i wish u luck

let him get situated in the coast guard first. if you two manage to stay faithful while he is away get married when he comes out on leave then go with him if you can. long distance relationships are hard. military men arent known for being faithful either.
