No..it doesn't matter, as long as you and your mate are inlove, and happy.

18 is WAY too young. I got married at 18 and was married 18 years before I finally got smart and divorced him. He will steal all of your good years. Those of the best times of your life that you can never get back.
Listen to you mother. She is trying to look out for your best interest. Honestly. Don't know about the age 26 (???) she has given but at least wait until you are in you 20's. I should have listened to mine.
If he really loves you, you two can still see each other like you have been doing.

The biggest thing, I noticed with me was at 18, I was still a teenager in every sense of the word, it wasn't until now (I'm 21) that I've begun to fully appreciated life the way it really is. I recommend waiting until you live together or at least on your own, helps you judge how life will be with all of the everyday problems (money, seeing each other 24/7, etc). I dated a guy for 3 years through all of highschool and I thought he was going to be long term, but once highschool was over, life is completely different, and we just weren't meant to be. The biggest thing to remember, and I know it won't mean much to you know, your only 17 you've got a lot of life to experience and they might not lead you back to him.

Yes. I think 26 is TOO old though. 20 or 21 is a good age. Just, 18 is way too young, you'll still kids (legally your adults, but come on!) You can't even legally drink yet. I plan to wait till 21 when I can drink, that's a good age. If you two really love each other, you can wait at least till you're twenty.

I was 16 when I began to date this guy. My parents said I was too young. I married him at 18 and divorced him at 23. I thought I was in love. I wasn't I was just in love with the idea, so I ended up hurting him real bad. I do think 18 is too young. You need to mature mentally. 18 is not old enough to do so. I am 35 now and looking back at age 18....i knew nothing.

Yes is too early, even if you have been dating for a long time. Yu should not think about that until you have your life set and finsh studing and get a job. Because you can not live out of only love, you will have problems and dificultis and it will not end up the way you wanted. I recomend you to wait until you have your finsh studing and have a good job and money, and the the is ok to get married, you see is like the final touch to your life, the migic touch.

Well being engaged only means your going to get married you can set the date as far away or close as you want. 18 is a little young but picture this of all humans in the world this is the one you are going to be with for the rest of your life. your gona bear his children and be there when he is sick or what ever obstical apears. Fully consider these things then follow your heart and your good sence.

while i became 18 i presumed i became in love too, the ingredient is life after severe college is the place you grow to be the guy you would be for something of your life. And so will your different a million/2. i could say something age youthful then approximately 21-22 is merely too youthful to get married. i comprehend many female who desire they might turn decrease back the clock and undue their first marriage. My advice, wait. Marriage is in basic terms a be conscious. possibly circulate in mutually for a at an identical time as. I truly have enjoyed some-one with all my heart yet had to strangle them while they moved in with me. solid success

Ok let me be honest with you, guys always want to rush things when they are young but things change, Look I know you love him but the truth is that you should listen to your mom. 26 is a perferct age to get married. think about it if you do it now, you and him are going to go through all the bad part, cause there's going to be the issue of going to school, working and all that stuff. So listen to your mom by the age of 26 you'll be out of college, with a great job but you also have to see where he is going with his life. believe me i know you love him but there's no need to rush things, all in all god will lead you the right direction. I 'm just saying wait and see, if its meant to be his not going anywhere, look I'm 24 with two kids and on my second marrige, and still going to school trying to finish cause its so hard, so please go to school and then both you sit down and talk to see where ya stand,...sorry about the ya thing i'm from texas... well good luck
