I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. Myboyfriend and i would like to get married someday.?

Question

what is the best time for us to get married. we are truly in love.

Answer 1

you might be in love, but he is not the one. in ten years when you see his 375 pound, beer drinking, loud talking carcass at the reunion you will think to yourself, what was I thinking????

Yep, high school is for puppy love, virgins and very bad mistakes.
Go to college, sleep around and wait until you are a bitter worn out hag before you marry. This way you can say you've lived life to the fullest.

Answer 2

Let me explain some things for you.
It takes much more than love to successfully sustain a marriage. There are many responsibilities...especially to each other. These responsibilities never stop. You have to constantly work at it to keep your marriage fresh and together.

All I'm saying is that you are very young. Take your time...there is no need to rush. When children come the responsibilities become even greater and more time consuming. All of the things you shared before the marriage will slowly be over run by even more responsibilities.
Becoming an adult is an entirely different world than being Young and in love.

Before you wed, separately list on a piece of paper what you like and dislike. What you would tolerate and not tolerate. What you would refuse to do etc. Be thorough and exchange papers. Take your time and have a serious meetings of the minds. You will be about to take a very large important step. Try and prepare before...not after.

Answer 3

You should wait until you're 23 and he's 25 (whichever comes LAST). The people you are now are NOT the people you will be when you reach those ages. Getting married now gives you a VERY high probability of it not lasting. If you guys are still together by then, more power to you. Just don't rush into marriage now just because you KNOW you're in love now. You both will change often as you try to "find" yourself. If you both find yourself together when it's all over, then it was meant to be. =-] Good luck!

Answer 4

There is nothing wrong with you guys making a commitment to one another. However, you both should complete your educations fully to include higher education and training. Get jobs in your chosen career fields and save some money. If you intend to spend a life time together a few years won't make a difference. You both need to be in stable positions taking care of yourselves independent of your family. In that way you become partners and have a better chance at success.

Answer 5

I would suggest waiting until your mid to late 20's. I was in the same boat. But eventually found out that he wasn't the one.

And it is possible that you are meant for each other. I met my husband when I was 14, but we were only good friends. Never dated until 21.

I'd wait a while. Give you a chance to figure out what you want in a career and a good foot hold in college, maybe even finish.

Answer 6

If you are truely inlove then nothing will keep you from getting married someday but I advise you to wait until you both graduate & if your planning on college finish that first college takes alot of time & so does making a marrige work...

Answer 7

Well, how long have you known him? If it's been more than 4 years, maybe that's a good sign that you've been together for so long. But, you should seriously wit until you're 21. But, if you've only known him for a year it is definitely not the time to be thinking about marriage.

Answer 8

Why not wait a few more years when you both have steady jobs and are able to support yourselves? Teenage love is so unpredictable. I would hate to see you divorced in 5 years time with 2 small children to support.

Answer 9

I would suggest you should wait until after graduation to make sure the feelings are still there and so that you can finish with all of your schoolwork..
After you're eighteen, no one can tell you what to do or what is right for you; you'll have to decide that on your own. If you feel ready, then do it when you're ready not when other people want you to do it.

Answer 10

I'd say wait till you are out of high school, have jobs and homes and have your education. That way you will have more time for each other rather than fitting each other in between schedules.
