YES!!!!!!! At 16 you have barely seen the world. I hate to say this, but you need to live life to be able to settle down. Once you finish High School, and go to college and start taking on responsibilities then you will realize its not all fun and games, but there is a large market of available people, and your views may change on this person. Give it time! Your way too young to be thinking about settling down. Finish school, get a job, and once your financially stable then think about marriage. Till then ... enjoy being a kid. It doesn't last that long .. trust me!

You have only been on this planet for 16 years. And for the first 12 to 14 you were playing with dolls and pretending to be a princess. Life partner? Girl, I think you misunderstand the term. You should be thinking about graduating from high school, passing your Sat's and going to college. You should thinking about staying healthy and happy. I'm wondering if your "life partner" is older than you. Not that long ago, a man would wait until his "life partner" was of age to marry. That included waiting to have sex. If you watch TV, listen to radio, read magazines and of course the Internet, then you would know that marriage is HUGE responsibility and those people who aren't ready to accept that concept fail(Jessica Simpson to name one). But to give you a short answer, YES!!!, it's too soon for you to be thinking about marriage.

Yes it is too early. Trust me I know. I met my husband when I was 16. We were married by the time I was 18 and 1st child at 20. Now that is not how your youth should be spent. I believe many of our problems are based on what was lost due to our relationship. Experience is a teacher. There will be good and bad but all life lesson that is necessary for good development. Live and be free. Don't go straight from your parents rule to your husband's. Learn more about you, without someone else influencing your opinions.

It is not too soon to be thinking about marriage, but it is too early to actually get married. You need to be preparing yourself for marriage and, perhaps, motherhood. That means getting as much education as you can so that you can be an example for your children. You will change your mind about what you need for the rest of your life to make you happy. You can be in love right now, but the man you love may not be the kind of man you can stay in love with. If you give it a couple years, you will know for sure, though. Do not rush into marriage. If he is "the one", he will wait until you finish your education and are mature enough to know you are right together. Date for another two years.

It's not too young to be thinking about it, just don't go getting married yet. If you've truely found your life partner, s/he should be happy to stay with you and wait. Just remember that there are a lot of financial issues when it comes to getting married, especially if you're planning on going to college or having kids. (I would recommend the first and avoid the latter!) Stay with the person for a couple of years to make sure they are right for you. People change sometimes.
But all in all, good luck. It's not too early to think, just to act.

Think about it, but don't do it.
Once you get out of school you're going to change and he will too, probably. You'll be a totally different person, especially if you go to college.
I was with a guy from 16-21 and I thought he was THE one. But we broke up and I met someone else who I married and I've now been married for 10 years (in September).

At 16 I thought the same thing. You have no idea how many experiences you will have in the next 10 yrs. Yes, Its way too early to think about marriage. You still have the best years ahead of you. Dont get married so young....Dont do that to yourself.

Don't sell yourself short! You're not too young to be truly in love, but humans do not mate for life like other animals. It is possible to fall deeply in love with more than one person.
You are going to experience a lot between now and 21. Then you'll look back and think "What was I thinking???"
Enjoy life, being single is fun. Don't get me wrong, I love being married. But, before I got married, I dated a lot of guys, travelled all over Europe, learned a foreign language, lived on my own in my own apartment, lived in different cities in the US, and generally enjoyed life as a single woman!!
You will too!

It's not to soon to think about marriage, after all the whole point of dating is to find someone to marry. It is to early to plan your life around someone else. If it is meant to work out it will, but enjoy being young. You have so much ahead!

Not for women. The unwritten goal of most women is to secure a man, especially when the girl is in her teens to early 20's. the unwritten goal for man is to play - play the field, have fun, play games, enjoy freedom before the girl anchors him down. Ever notice that men are usually older than their mates? As an example, a woman is ready to settle down with a man at 20 and the man is ready to settle down at 25.
