So what do you think of marriage right out of high school? Like if you are both truly in love with each other and want to be together forever and start a family.

That's a great way to feel! Next step is to discover is it a great way to think? Most marriages fail because of finances. It may be the number one cause! If one of you don't have a "career" job lined up then this marriage is destined to fail. Go to college or tech school first! Apply for as many jobs that you can that eventually will give you the income to start a family. Flipping burgers is no job to have when you find out you're pregnant. If you want a successful marriage I would suggest at least go into nursing. That field is never full, and one person can make enough to support the family till the other grows up!

If you both are truly in love a few more years to wait for marriage won't break the relationship. Your both young and need to explore your goals and dreams before settling down to marriage and family. Having a child is a big responsilibty. Make sure your fiancially able to afford a child. Think about what goals you have besides marriage for your life and work on those. Take time to decide what you want for your future such as what career goals go for them then get married. By following your goals and exploring life before marriage you won't have any regrets of marrying young and then not be able to test your wings. If it is love forever it will last in a few more years there is no need to rush into marriage because marriage is a huge committment and takes more than love and wanting to be togehter forever and kids to make it work

You guys should wait.. be together live together but just wait on the marriage thing.. you two will not be the same people you are now when you turn 25.. which in most cases is around the time most marriage fall apart when married young like that.. you both will feel differently about a lot of things..

first of all i think your way to young to realize what your getting into. I was married BEFORE I graduated highschool and my life turned out ok. I'm 36 now so many years have passed but we struggled and went through some very tough times. Then I wish I would of stayed single and went to college early and enjoyed my life. You two can still be in love and not married...marriage is a HUGE step and committment. Just step back a moment and think about your choices and if it's just the right thing for you at this time!!

My wife married me right out of high school while I was in my third year of undergraduate studies. However, I'd already been supporting myself since I was 18 and was actually earning more money than my father in-law by the time we married ... when I was 21. Her dad was a public school teacher.
My wife and I went on to finish our degrees and pursue graduate studies ... we've had 10 kids over 30 years of marriage ... and, lived in 4 countries. We have no regrets about getting married so young and feel like we're just getting a sense of 'oneness'.
I encourage all my kids to marry young.

You can still be together forever but you don't have to get married right away. Why not enjoy the easy 20's together and have some fun? It might put a damper on things to add the pressures of marriage at this age.

We all go through a period of change before we mature. Maturity is not an age it comes from experiencing life and being ready to settle down. The devorce rate has sky rocketed because people marrying are not prepared for the obligations and responsibilities of this relationship. Best to wait till you have both settled into your Adult Personalities. If
it's right it will still be right then, and you'll have a better chance of making it work because you'll know the people you've become are still compatable and love who the other is.

I don't want this to sound patronising, but at that age you think you know yourself and you don't. Don't underestimate how much people can change even before they hit their early twenties; even changes in little ways can make massive differences.
And as for kids noone doubts that you would love you children but it is the hardest job you will ever have to do and its best to do it when you have resources behind you, not just money wise but emotionally. Its hard work.
Whats wrong with waiting a few years? You can still see each other and have a life, just not tie yourself down.
GoodluckXX

There should be laws preventing that!
Only with some wisdom can you bypass the dangers in marriage! Wisdom come with age and life experiences, of both joy and happiness!
I would suggest you wait till you 25 years old!
This coming from a guy who's been married 16 years and gone through a great deal of both issues and drama in marriage and almost a divorce!
I got married at 24, and think it was to early , I sometimes wished I waited till I was 30!
Good luck on what ever you do though.
