I'm almost nineteen, my boyfriend's almost 23, and we have lived together for a year. We have been together for two. Do you think that it would be too soon to get engaged? We wouldn't be getting married until he got a good job from his degree.

If you're ready to commit to spending the rest of your life with him...AND you guys are both able to financially and emotionally support yourselves without help from either set of parents...then yes, you're ready to get engaged/married. I think you're also smart to wait until he finishes school and has his degree before getting married. If you're in school, you might want to consider waiting until YOU'RE done as well. You don't have to, but if getting a degree is a goal of yours, then I can tell you from personal experience, it's MUCH easier to finish the degree before you're married. Congratulations and best of luck to you both!

So you're not even 19...what do you think?
I met my boyfriend when I was 18 and he was 19...We've been together for 3 and a half years. After about a year into the relationship, I wanted to get engaged. I thought everything was perfect and we were meant to be. Well, 3 years later we're on a "break." Personally, I would never think of getting engaged until after I graduate college and I have established a life for myself. Marriage is forever, so why rush engagement? I would at least wait until he is out of school. But that's just my opinion. Maybe in your case, it's what you need.... but, most likely it's still too early. Good luck either way :)

No it doesnt sound like it is too early to get engaged. you could get engaged and that would be okay and since you wouldnt be getting married for a while it would give you more time to work on relationship and what is important in your marriage.

You two are very young...If you both feel that you are emotionally, mentally, and financially ready to handle all the responsibility that comes with getting married then yes...if you have doubts or feel as though there's something else out there or you still need time to figure out who you are then no.

Why do you need to be engaged, then? I was always under the impression that you get engage to announce to the world that he proposed and you are to be married soon.

Honey do what you want. Some people get engaged right after they meet. If you love each other and you think it's right who cares. You going to do what you want anyway. Best of luck, you will both know when it is right. Peace

No too soon to get engaged. Move out on your own, be independent, paying your own rent and bills. Continue to date him and see how it goes.
