He's 16, I'm assuming you're probably around the same age.
Too put it bluntly, it sounds like he's trying to get to the "next base" if you know what I mean.
Young love is cute though, and If he's serious and is talking "marriage", most likely, neither one of you are really ready for it. While the thoughts are nice, it would be wiser and better off for you two to wait it out until after high-school/college.
He did say " someday have a family", so that may not neccessarily mean he wants one now. Most people want a family eventually. Enjoy life while you are young, there's no reason why you can't wait 10 years to start a family.

I am 22, and considering marriage in 2-3 years.
I think there is zero chance of you two staying together if you are that young.
If you want to be together forever, why not wait another 4-5 years to get married, to make SURE you want to be together forever?
Please look at the divorce rates for young people before you jump into a marriage that you might not want.

That is wonderful!! While you are both very young, there is a good chance that your relationship can last a lifetime.
If you feel the same way, then you are headed toward a great future together.
Just remember that you both will change a lot in the next few years. You can either grow together or apart. You will not know until you get there.
Take care,
Troy

if hes 16...you must be around that age too so keeping that in mind, you should realize that both of you are very young and that you should keep an open mind. think about it...do you like the same stuff you liked last year?
when youre that young...youre mind and attitude change so quickly so often that you can never be to sure.
im not saying enjoy it, cuz you should. but talk of a family and what not should be taken with a grain of salt.

You must know that you are far too young, but don't ask anyone to think for you. It's your life, do what you want, just so long as you have a job and are not being supported by your parents or his parents. If you're not out of high school yet, then wait until you know that you will be able to support yourself and take care of money and finances, etc..

My boyfriend told me this, and he really means it. But I think when a guy tells you that, its because he does love you with everything. I mean..what kind of guy would want a relationship with a girl? Not alot of guys for sure. If he asks you that, its what he really thinks. But 16 years old, means he is too young, but he is willing to wait for you to be ready as well.

Sweetie, he is caught up in emotion right now. The testosterone's are working overtime. He isn't even ready to have the responsibility to take care of himself outside of mom and dad's house much less be ready for the type of commitment it takes to care for someone else, not to mention a family. He is thinking the fairy tale is coming true. maybe to him it is, but for now nothing is certain when you are a teenager. Just have fun. Err...no sex. Abstinance is best

Much too young too be thinking about family and kids.
At 16 he doesnt know what it even means to care for a family so its probably just some way too show you he cares.

He's 16??? Relax, he will be telling plenty of girls the same old story. Right now, you should just be worried about school and having fun, not being together forever.

It means at this point he loves you and can envision you sharing the rest of your lives together.
However... You're both 16. There's a LOT of growing and changing that happens between now and when you're 21 or 25. Please don't rush to marriage, as one or both of you will change, and those changes may not be compatible.
