Do you think young love can make it?

Question

Hey, My girlfriend and I have been dating now for a year and a half straight. We fell in love with one another back in junior high school. We were friends for about 4 years before we actually started dating. She really wants to get in ingaged and then wait a year then get married but im affraid of getting married to young and early. FYI - im turning 19 in a month and shes turning 18 in 2 months do you think that is to young to get married and/or if we do, do yall think we can make it.

Answer 1

Dude, I'm gettin married on my 19th birthday which is this Sept. I've known her all my life. And we been goin together since I was 14yo. We already live together (and have for over a year). We know we ain't makin a mistake, but that's us.

But if you're afraid at all, then u should seriously rethink everything pretty careful. U just gotta be totally and completely sure of it all. People that young CAN make it. The truth is that MOST don't. It's a massive commitment man.

Don't be in a hurry. Plan a wedding date down the road some. Then if there come any problems u can either cancel or delay some.

Just after my 18th birthday we talked about gettin married and we thought it would be cool to have it on my 19th birthday. (Can't forget an anniversary that way eh man). But that year was to give us time to think about the decision. For us, nothin has changed, but for some it might be different.

Anyhow, talk a whole lot about it. Decide on a date that gives u thinkin room. U can make it if u truly love each other and are willing to meet each other halfway on stuff.

Most of the young guys' marriages I've seen that failed were the type based only on a sexual relationship. Or the ones where they got married cuz she got pregnant...that type of thing.

Hope that helps some dude. And good luck man. And hope u guys make it and are way happy.

Answer 2

I would suggest waiting a bit. If it is truly meant to be, you all will work out anything that comes your way. You both are so young and really, in your 20's you all will do so much growing and changing especially if you go off to college. I'm not saying break up or anything like that, but be aware that you will develop other interests and if either of you is insecure in this relationship, then it could be problematic. However, if you are secure, then it will give you both more things to talk about and share in your days together when you grow old.

Answer 3

Don't rush into marriage. You have a great relationship and you both still have a lot to learn and experience. I do think young love can work if both people are truly commited to the relationship and sticking together. My sister and her husband of 14 years have been together since they were 15 yrs old. They have never even dated anyone else. They have had their ups and downs but are happy and have a child now. It can work but remember it takes work and commitment. When you feel ready then get engaged but don't let anyone pressure you into it.

Answer 4

I def. think you are too young to be thinking about getting engaged or married, go to college, get a job, get a place & then maybe you guys can think about other stuff. I bet if you guys both go to different colleges you will end up deciding that you need space. I thought i was completely in love with my H.S. bf & we both went off to college & broke up sophmore year. You don't knwo who you are at your age, so I suggest you find yourself & decide what you want to do with you life before making any decisions like that.

Answer 5

You capture my heart
When I just hear you laugh
And though we are young
You're my missing half
When you're playing with children
And showing them love
You make my heart beat
Like your sent from above
You capture my heart
With your captivating beauty
And inspire me to make
Caring for you my duty
When you're walking, you move
With such style and grace
And I could study all day
Every line of your face
I'll search high and low
Until each other we find
But now for today
You exist in my mind
When we are apart
It's you I will miss
And long once again
To taste your sweet kiss
I'll embrace you so close
Each night and each day
But for now I will search
Till I find you .................Someday

Answer 6

both of you are still young to think about marriage. but if you do see her being someone you want to get old with, tell her if she could just wait since both of you aren't stabe yet. i mean financially, or even emotionally. tell her that you want her to give a good life so you're still want to get a good stable job to support your future family.
