young love?

Question

i am 17 years of age. my boyfriend is 19. he asked me to marry him. i have agreed to. i love him more then life he was my first..................... and i want him to be my last. he means the world to me. but everybody tells us were to young. that it wont last... but we are both determend to prove them all wrong. and show how in love we are. i am moveing in with him the first week of march. and we are gonna live together do young love really last or is it a deaster from the beggining to get attached and fall in love i mean we were high school sweet hearts. and we have over came so much together... and alot of coupiles usually meet in high school that are like 60 or older now. so do they really last?

Answer 1

It can last, however the only way to find out is to look back when you are 60. I suggest since you are moving in together, to wait a year to get "engaged" formally and then another year to make final plans to get married. If you are truly meant to be together, two years before you are legally married isn't much compared to the 60 that you plan on.

Answer 2

Yes, young love do last. But it's hard work and a lot of temptations out there. Times are different now. People don't have the same values like they did when our grandparents and great grandparents came along. Nowadays people don't like to see others happy and they try all they can to throw irons in the fire. First you must always remember that your love for your mate comes first. Don't listen to that here say. What's done in the dark will soon come to the light. Keep your family and friends out of your personal affairs when it comes to your man. Second you are young and you should experience life before making a big decision like getting married. You have a whole life ahead of you. What about school? A career? This is the best time of your life and you should be out there enjoying it instead of playing house. if after a couple of years and you both still fill the same then I say go for it girl and I for one wish you both all the best. And I hope that someday I can read that you are celebrating your 50th wedding anniversary. Good Luck

Answer 3

I believe that young love can prevail, but if your priorities are wrong, then it will be just a matter of time before you two fall away. You two seem like you want to get married because everyone else says you are too young, and you want to prove them wrong. Let me say that you haven't even begin to understand what you are getting yourself into. Marriage isn't something you just jump into because you believe in love, it is about getting to know the other person, to see if you two have chemistry, to have compatibility or not. Those are just a few. Life is tough, and getting to know the other person is a long process, not something that comes after you spent a year together and decide, well we have spent a year together, I think we should get married. Seriously consider what you are getting yourself into, because The Lord doesn't like divorce, and the odds are that young couples don't last, I thought that I was ready, and fortunately I didn't go through with it, I was no where near ready.

Answer 4

Well...I will give you my story. I met my now husband when I was a senior in highschool. We were both 17 at the time. When I turned 18 I moved in with him and the same month we were married. That was 9 1/2 years ago......It hasn't been the easiest, but we've stuck by one another through it all. We truly love eachother....we truly feel like we are soul-mates. We are total opposites but I think that is where the attraction lies. He shows me a different side of life and I do the same for him. We have 3 kids too....for as young as we are, we've been there done that and made it through it all. Many, MANY, many people said we were nuts, stupid, would be divorced before a year was up. His grandparents weren't too happy, my mom was totally upset, but we showed them it CAN be done. Love doesn't come with a book outlining what ages we can really love someone, how old we should be to marry and all that good stuff...Love is simply love and you cannot help but feel it whenever it is you do. I don't wanna say oh yes, marry him! But I do wanna let you know, that although it is mostly a rarity that young love survives the long-haul IT CAN BE DONE. It takes compromise, consideration of one another, hard-work and dedication. As long as you two really work at marriage and life together, all things are possible. Be one anothers best friends, show your love everyday, stand strong and don't let what others say bother you. Best wishes in whichever direction life takes you.

Answer 5

I did the same thing wen i was 17 i moved out with my boyfriend he was 18 and got married they said the same thing to me too but if your in love then i say go for it ive been with him now 3 years im very much happy so there's no real anser if u will last or not that depends on you and him but how will you ever know if you dont go for it i just give you this advice wait a while b4 u have kids cause that can mess up the relationship wen your young and make sure not to have money issues cause that brings fights and last but not least since you live together keep the relationship fresh and exiting do things that u dont usually do keep things like if you just met cause you dont want to get bored of each other ive seen that happen and have fun and i wish you the best of luck and congratulations on your wedding

Answer 6

every situation is different, BUT... i know plenty of girls who swore their young love was real, myself included....it wasn't...... How could it be? I was yound and dumb, I didn't know any better, I barely knew who I was as a person let alone what real love was. What did I have it to compare it to? No life experience no other relationships...... I'd hold off just a little longer.... at least find out what it's like to live with him first.... that's usually a deal breaker.. if you can last a yr in the same house with him, you should be good to go... BUt then again, he might decide he wants freedom when he turns 21... he'll be going to the bars with his guy friends and you won't be able to go there..... he'll be wanting to hang out with people that can drink, etc..... etc... hopefully you're not stuck home barefoot and pregnant baking a pie at this time..... all i can say is watch yourself....

Answer 7

My parents were 18 & 21 when they got married. The got divorced and they hate each other to this day.

But this is only one outcome. I know couples who were high school sweethearts that are still together after 15-20 years.

I do not think it is too young if you feel that you have lived your life. If you have not lived, then it is too young.

Answer 8

yes they do last. my husband and myself have been together since we were 17 yrs old, we are now 33 (he's 34), we have 3 beatiful children and our love is better then ever just make sure you don't loss yourself or the communication between both of you it's better when you keep it truthful. If you believe everything everyone tells you then of course you won't last but if the two of you love each other then the only ones that matters are yourselves

Answer 9

well you are young but if you plan on moveing in with him. do that first because living together for a while will probably give you a much better idea of wheither you can really last the marriage cuz it seem like nowadays no one can stay married no more.

Answer 10

Some do, some don't. He may be your true love, he may not. However I do think you should wait on that whole engagement thing. I mean you can still live together, just don't put yourself in that situation yet. You should finish school..and then think bout marriage<3Why rush it, if you know you'll be together forever!!?
