but, I am only seventeen. I am currently in college, getting my degree in Early Childhood Education, and am I on the right track, and very dedicated to school. I love my boyfriend very much, and I do want to marry him, but there is also another situation....before I even met my boyfriend I had always planned on getting my Assoc. degree, and then joining the military. I think it would be awesome to get military experience, and get the chance to travel. But, if I did that there is a chance that my boyfriend and I couldn't get married, and we would be apart from eachother alot.. What should I do?

do what you want to do first... if he loves you, he'll still be there when you're finished doing what you want to do.. 17 is too young to get married anyway, you have your whole life to get married, go out and enjoy being young.

Well I can tell you that I am 30 years old now and prior military. It is very hard to maintain relationships while in the military. Deployments, long hours, highstress, etc, etc. contribute to this fact. The other thing is that you are 17 you may hate hearing this but in my opinion you are too young to get married anytime soon. If you are set on getting married why not go ahead and follow thrue with you plans. In the army they make special provisions for married couples who are both in service. DO NOT give up your dreams for another person, if he loves you he will be willing to wait.

I also agree that you are too young. My husband and I got married when I was 19. It changed a lot for both of us. I would suggest that you finish off school first. It's very hard to travel. What if he doesn't want to travel with you or he doesn't want you to go? If you're not married, you don't have to worry about that. Go have fun and good luck!

You know what to do, follow your dreams, your plans you had for your life. If your bf loves you, he will wait. You don't have to be married to follow your plans up. Marriage can be down the road, whats the hurry? If he finds someone else, just because your not married, it wasn't meant to be! Right? Following your dreams and plans will give your self a fulfillment that you will never regret, nor forget.

Go to school, follow your dreams. If you're meant to be you'll be even if you have to be apart from eachother for a while. My husband and I lived 1000 miles apart for 2 years.

Too young. Tell him to wait until you both experience life first. You will both have regrets later in life if you get married now.

Follow your dreams....you only get to live life once and you should live it for you not someone else....and if it is really meant to be then everything will work out even if you follow your dreams!!! You love him, but you have to do the things you really want to do because you don't want to live your life in regret....

First, focus on your education and take some time to pursue your dreams before making that kind of commitment. If he really loves you, he'll understand.
