i am so happy with him. we are so great together. the biggest problem for me is what my family is going to say because we are so young and i am pretty sure what they are going to say because they always said it when we were younger. on the other side i am so happy and sure he is the one i cant waite to start a family with him. we both want to live together for at lest 3 years alone so its just the two of us and i want to start trying to get pregnant at 21 that is young for some people but i feel that it is a good thing in many ways one i am very close to my grandparents because they are still young and they will be there for my children.this is why we both feel it is good to get married know besides the fact we have been together for along time. Please tell me what you think about getting married at 18 and any other things you would like to say. thanks for your time and answers.

Wow! I am now 54 years old and started dating my husband when I was 18. We got married after 5 years of dating. I felt it was the right thing to do. I was in love. NOW...if I could do it over, I would have waited longer. I changed with age, and you will too. I don't think I knew myself very well. Of course, no one could have told me that.
what is your hurry? Enjoy your time together without children and marriage.

It will ultimately be your decision, but ask yourself a few important questions first... 1. Are you going to be happy being married even when times are difficult? 2. Do you want to go to college? And if so, how will you support yourselves? 3. How much time do you spend with friends, is being married going to make that difficult? 4. What will your budget look like? Research the cost of housing, food, utilities, cars, insurance, and other expences that might come up.
If you are still comfortable getting married, wonderful, do it. But in the end, it would be best to be completely positive and heavily weigh the advice people older than you give, and then make your decision.

first, be sure you are emotionallly and financially stable. also, finish your studies before getting married. don't let passion dictate your future. you're 18. the whole world is in your hands. as the song goes, " you may be here tomorrow but your dreams may not" or something like that. i am not doubting your love for each other but think about it first. don't let your emotions rule your mind. there is a perfect time for everything. God bless! :)

If you're sure about each other, yes- now or in 3 years. But you two have to both be working.
