I was in the Navy as well. My husband and I got married 2 months after i turned 18. It was tough, he was a civillian and I was out and about. The curve of our lives lead us to marriage. We met when I was 11 and he was 13, we grew up together, we fell in love and we got married. Being together an growing together is what is key to a healthy relationship of any kind. You shouldn't have unconnected systems with things lurking around to get out, you should have the same system and be able to explore your youth together as a strong life companions. Faithfulness is not something you should get a gold star for, it should be a given, the standard of all relationships.

I disagree. If you say four years, that would make you 22. That is a good age to start a family, etc.....but if the military is not "as fulfilling" as you had hoped, you may find out later down the road that you wished deeply that you would have taken atleast another year or two to yourself. I was married at 22, and immediately following (within 2 weeks); we had conceived our first child. Little did we know that all FOUR of our kids would be born one right after the other. I just think you might want to pursue traveling or anything that you will not have the time or freedom to do once you have children and are married. That is just my opinion; be SAFE and GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU! The Navy is the BEST branch of the military! I have 5 generations of family that have been in the Navy, and NO--none of them are gay..LOL!
God Bless you both,
^7^

I think it is wise of you to wait the 4 years until you're out of the navy. Much can happen and change in 4 years and while you may love him now you might find that you've become a completly different person (or he's a different person) in that time.
Take the time to become an individual before you get married then see how you feel. I thought I would marry my high school sweetheart but I decied to wait until after college. By the time we both graduated we were both still friends but we had grown into such different people that we weren't attracted to each other that way anymore. He actually introduced me to my husband and we've been married for 7 and a half years now.
Good Luck.

I think yuo should keep marriage an option but wait till the both of you are out of the service. You and him are gonna grow so much in the next 4yrs...either closer together or apart. You will also do a lot of personal growth too. I was 18 4 yrs ago and i have changed alot. Give it time and if you and him were meant to be together than you'll end up together when your done. You may know what you want in a guy/relationship now, but in 4yrs it could change. Marriage is a serious thing that people take to lightly now a days. Your best bet is to wait. Good Luck!

18 years old, in love, in the Navy, planning marriage and asking for advice on yahoo answers. Is it wrong for you to marry? That's a very difficult question. Here's why.
On the one hand, most teenagers your age believe they are wise enough and experienced enough to make decisions like this that will undoubtedly change their lives forever. In your case, of course, you have military training that forces you to accept adult responsibilities as well.
One the other hand, what do you really know about life and about marriage? I could spend hours on this topic but, instead, I guarantee you this. The things you find interesting and exciting today, will not be the same things you will be interested in when your say 30 or 40 or 50. And one of the main reasons many marriages fail is because the interests of the two parties change in different directions.
My advice to you is this. Even though many young marriages succeed, many fail. Waiting awhile is definitely the right thing to do. Spend time getting to know your bf's current and future interests and make sure they match yours (assuming you have thought about your future life goals). See what the Navy does to your togetherness. Experience the world. And plan on college first, then marriage.

I think to wait for years is a great idea. You are going to see the world from an entirely different perspective by then. He may choose to stay in the military and you may want to go another path. Or, you both might grow even closer together than ever, and find that he truly is the man you are meant to be with. But I am a man that married the second girl I dated. I rushed into marriage way to early, and even though I am still married, it has been a long, hard road. Just make sure that you understand what you are getting yourself into.
So many young people get married to prove to adults that they are old enough to make a decision like that. And many adults are warning them not to rush into it, because that is exactly what they did, and they paid the price. Marriage is supposed to be for ever, regardless of what Hollywood shows us...make sure he is the man for you before jumping into marriage. Good luck, and thanks for serving!

I think waiting four years would be the greatest decision!~ Not only are you gonna grow as a couple, but you will grow as adults too. You really want to know if he is the one and give yourselves time to read each other and see if you are going to want this person in your life for the rest of your life... Marriage is sacred and people totally take advantage of this now a days. You both are still young so just go with the flow. If you both love each other, I am sure one day you will be happily together forever!!! Good Luck!!!

See, the hardship with the "nicely, a brother and sister residing co-dependently could desire to get excitement from an identical reward" means that no 2 rapidly human beings have *ever* abused the marriage equipment whilst they weren't in a romantic relationship. yet a sibling couple doing so might nevertheless be legally "married"; they'd not then, in turn, be allowed to marry every person they have been easily romantically drawn to with out dissolving that partnership, with each and every of the legal issues a divorce could reason. I advise, i think if a brother/sister pair (or brother/brother or sister/sister, have been gay marriage legal) needed to flow into right into a lifelong, non-romantic legal partnership, particular, they could conceivably call for they be granted marriage rights. yet such partnerships may be quite few and lots between, as i think of the social stigma of annoying you be allowed to marry your sister might probable suppress that team. A extra pertinent question may be on the thank you to deal with the form of individuals in a marriage. If marriage is unfold out from the place it truly is now, then there is the question approximately whether polyamorous unions must be legally known. And if we then stronger marriage to allow, say, 4 contributors, then what approximately polygamists who experience socially ostracized through fact they have a 5-way relationship? Polygamists and brothers desirous to marry their sisters, even with the undeniable fact that, characterize a tiny, tiny fraction of yank society. Homosexuals, mutually as nevertheless a minority, huge type far extra desirable. establishing up marriage to same-intercourse couples, i've got confidence, is the thank you to grant those romantic pairings an identical legal rights that are presently enjoyed by way of applying comparable partnerships, mutually as minimizing the replace to the final equipment. particular, the "slippery slope" argument can nevertheless be utilized, yet only through fact establishing up marriage to homosexuals might open up a greater can of worms would not advise this is no longer a solid and precise undertaking to do.

I think youre absolutey right in your thinking of waiting a few years before tying the knot. 25 seems to be the best age to get married so the closer you are to that age the better the chances of marital survival there are. Also as an ex Viet Nam vet and POW, I would like to commend you both on serving your county and us, thank you and God speed. It sounds like you have your life in order so theres actually nothing we can help you with but wish you both all the best for your future.

If you are 18 then in four years you will be 22. Military marriages are hard. Trust me I've been there not talking out of anger I got over that 7 years ago but they are hard but if you're willing to get all ur stuff out of your system it may actually be a great marriage just don't rush hope it goes well
